[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of the PP back again with a rising junior. Still nothing. It is Spring Break already and DC has basically lost hope though is still applying and networking. I guess DC will go abroad and get a class out of the way but it sucks b/c how will they possibly get a job next summer if no internship this summer.  Do companies ever hire rising seniors for internship with no real internship experience? Seems like all is lost if you can't get an internship after sophomore year (humanities major not CS/engineering).[/quote]

Does their school offer stipends for kids who do unpaid, non-profit internships? Look upthread. Sounds like some schools do, though they may have to do some digging (including through the major or advisors etc.)[/quote]

New poster. My college junior doesn’t have an internship yet and at this point, I’d be happy if he gets an unpaid internship. He wouldn’t, but I think it’d definitely be worth it for the opportunity.[/quote]

Please no. Only chuds allow themselves to be exploited with unpaid internships. Chads value their labor and their time. If I were a hiring manager, seeing an unpaid internship on a resume would be an instant turn-off. Screams low T.[/quote]
other than for government or nonprofits, unpaid internships are legal.[/quote]
