Should You Take an Unpaid Internship?
The unpaid internship: the universe’s method of mocking those who have finally been offered a summer job. An unpaid position can have unexpected benefits down the road, but it can also be a huge waste of time. If you have to consider taking an internship pro bono, how can you tell the difference?
In this episode, we talk about:
- When to consider an unpaid internship, if at all
- What to do if you can’t afford to take an unpaid internship
- How, when, and why to send a thank you letter
