Something tells me that job applicants aren't exactly busting down the doors to this wonderful opportunity.
I dunno. Depends where the internship is, I suspect.Something tells me that job applicants aren't exactly busting down the doors to this wonderful opportunity.
Pithy: unpaid internships serve to filter people who pay bills from people whose parents pay their bills.unpaid internships as a pathway into a first paying job acts as an effective filter on candidates' socio-economic background -- that is, having the resources (or your family having them) to allow you to live in an expensive city like New York or London without taking a paid job becomes a prerequisite
Foreign parents pay their bills restricting positions to the very rich in many countries.The only exception to the unpaid internship rule was for international students interning at the Smithsonian, as working at a national museum helped them when they returned to their home country.
Am I the only one that sees just how wrong all that is? Take away the silver spoons and you get assTrumpets and BoJo Clowns. So best to just put those silver spoons back in the silverware box and only use them on special occasions.I dunno. Depends where the internship is, I suspect.
Sarah Kendzior makes the point convincingly in Flyover Country, and I've seen it argued of internships in London, too, that the growth of unpaid internships as a pathway into a first paying job acts as an effective filter on candidates' socio-economic background -- that is, having the resources (or your family having them) to allow you to live in an expensive city like New York or London without taking a paid job becomes a prerequisite
If you're fortunate enough to be in such a position, then maybe your trust fund or whatever will stretch to paying for the seat until you can find a real job.
ETA Or, if not a prerequisite, certainly a route into a fast-track first job with a big-name employer, rather than having to build up a resumé elsewhere and apply later for higher-level positions.
