[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, I would rather hire someone who has actually worked than have a fluffy internship. It's possible that she now has more responsiblities - maybe she also manages scheduling, or training, or also the snack shack. And kids have 40 years to work a more traditional job. Maybe she loves being a lifeguard and wants to keep doing it until the "real world" intervenes. Sheesh. [/quote] Came here to say this. Super skeptical of cushy internships. I have seen two good interns my entire career. The rest have been clueless. I’ll always go for the applicant who’s had to punch the proverbial time card and show up for shifts. [/quote] +1. My best interns have been rising seniors who had previously worked very unglamorous summer jobs. One managed a farm stand and the other was a customer service team lead at a big box store. The worst one had never worked any kind of paying job before. [/quote]
