The advice listed was not for interns, unless I read it wrong.

Not specifically but volunteering to be an intern is the formalized way to get unpaid experience and exposure, the proverbial "foot in the door."

That was my point (however obscure I made it.)

In college I was an intern at 2 different places. NOthing came of it....in fact it was a horrible expeience both times where I was used for menial tasks.

Would never recommend it to anyone.
