I know you're trolling, but lmao @ people actually accepting unpaid internships.

How can you accept an unpaid internship in engineering? I could understand biology or chemistry or something, but engineering? You shouldn't ever accept anything that isn't at least $15/hr, or $20 if you're not in the middle of nowhere.

AHAHAHAHA
There are studies that show that unpaid internships dont even increase your job chancse compared to no internships so LMAOING@URLIFE

That's probably due to the kind of students who accept unpaid internships have terrible skills in general, whereas the no-internship group could possibly just have students who were more interested in academics/etc, or didn't know much about internships, yet would've been smart/skilled enough to get them if they had applied.

At least I'm assuming you're thinking of the same study, where they simply looked at the average salary out of those 3 groups. (And even then the unpaid group was higher than the no internship one - just not higher enough to be statistically significant)

It's better than nothing

I know my resume is shit, but fuck. All I want is a fucking interview. If I could get them face to face I know I could make an impression.

>>8816458
link to these studies plz so I can have a good reason to deny unpaid internships

this will hurt you in the future more than it will help you because future employers will know that you're a doormat.

>>8817686
he's just a regular slave. worse even since at least slaves were cared for. he works for absolutely nothing.

I handle about 15 employees and would never hire someone who lacks that much self-respect.

>>8817674

How would they know from your resume that it was unpaid, though? Reputation of the company?

>>8815461
>Unpaid

this basically says to all future employers that you are worth exactly 0$.
