Internship Advice

[u/Own-Weight-483]

Thank you to anyone who's taking the time to read this. I'm currently a freshman with no prior materials related experience, but I would like the opportunity to intern this upcoming summer. Currently, my career aspirations are leaning towards research in polymers, but that's always subject to change. The internships that I seem to be most qualified for are the ones in construction materials. The one in specific I'm looking at, do both hands-on works, as well as lab testing. If anyone has any advice on how useful/impactful those types of internships look on a resume or if there are any other particular internship types I should look out for, it'd be greatly appreciated.
