Comments for Unfair Internships http://unfairinternships.wordpress.com A critical look at un(der)paid jobs called "internships" Sat, 15 Jun 2013 23:53:38 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ Comment on Unpaid internships are just not worth it by Paul http://unfairinternships.wordpress.com/2012/08/06/unpaid-internships-are-just-not-worth-it/#comment-4522 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 23:53:38 +0000 http://unfairinternships.wordpress.com/?p=743#comment-4522 I would assume top caliber students are getting the paid internships because they are at better companies (GE, Google, etc).

So the best internships are getting the best students. Then, of course they have a higher potential to get a job than unpaid internships.

I wrote an article about the exact same topic:

i have had 5 internships within 2 years in Berlin, and NO job offers, HOWEVER excellent references for the future employers were given.
There should be some regulations towards this slavery! It’s gone the way too far, I have seen this situation now from the inside out, and hurts, because it’s pure young labor exploitation!!! There is NO educational part involved, by hiring they ALREADY expect you to KNOW everything, i really mean it!

With the money they were paying me I could only pay my rent, i had to work weekends to by my bread! I am NOT able to pay my tuition fees and will not be until they hire me as a normal worker!!

I have 3 degrees, and when applying for a graphic design internship (this is something i have not studied yet, but have a huge interest in, and have taken a course by myself) i get rejected because i am not enough experienced!!! they are NOT interested in teaching, but only using you as a cheap work force!

Seeing all this I have started the global fight:

I have written letters to EU, as a call to action, and will continue collecting case studies in order to prove that this is a crime!

Thank you for reading,

If you appear at advertisements on gumtree or craigslist for females seeking men, they’ve like 1000 hits.
Guys seeking women get like 30 hits, and almost certainly largely
from men. Also on lifecasting sites like justin.television girl’s rooms are always a lot much more filled than guy’s rooms.
Why may be the world wide web filled with horny guys but no women?

I like all of the points you’ve made.
