So, apparently, you now need a year of experience just to land an unpaid internship? 🤯 What’s next, asking for a PhD in “Getting Coffee” and a Master’s in “Making Copies”? It seems like some employers are writing job descriptions as if they’re crafting a fantasy novel. Can we just get back to internships being a chance to learn and grow, rather than a quest for a mythical level of experience? Here’s hoping for a future where internships are about potential, not a laundry list of prior qualifications. #InternshipStruggles #CareerJourney #UnpaidInternship #JobMarket #KeepItReal #hiring #thevpk #venkateshprasad

Situation Nowadays: Number of unpaid internships 📈 Amount of knowledge shared with interns 📉 ------- Ngl, every second internship opportunity here on LinkedIn is unpaid. Note: I am not saying that an unpaid internship in every company is not worth it (you learn a lotttt from some), but it is NOT THE SAME ANYMORE. ------------ Why does a person want to pursue an internship? - Either to gain some knowledge - OR to get some funds But, if both of these criterion are NOT BEING FULFILLED, then what is even the need?? ------------- Especially in departments such as Design & HR, companies usually hire people, make them work 6-7 hours per day, no knowledge & experience is being shared & are just given a certificate in the end! What are your opinions on this? Do let me know in the comments. ------------- Follow Hariaksh Maggo 🚀 for more such posts :) #internships #highschoolers #freshers #interns

Rethinking Unpaid Internships: Why They Need to Go Unpaid internships have long been a staple in many industries, but it’s time to question their value and impact. I have come across so many unpaid internships and I have realised that its high time that company must start recognizing that people do have feelings. In the name of getting exposure, experience, adding extra skills to intern's resume , one can't work on full time basis with good skillset. Companies must stop making growth at people's expense. Monetary appreciation must be there for some kind of encouragement. Banning unpaid internships could level the playing field, ensuring that all individuals have equal access to valuable career opportunities. What do you think about this? #CareerDevelopment #WorkplaceEquity #FairWork #Internship #Unpaidinternship #CareerOpportunities #freshers

I recently faced rejections for an unpaid internship and entry-level positions due to a lack of experience. With a Bachelor's degree, ongoing Master's studies, and practical knowledge of the publishing industry, I'm left wondering how to gain the necessary experience. Experience is crucial, yet the ever-changing threshold seems to exclude capable individuals of any age who are eager to learn and contribute effectively in their roles. Internships are designed for experience accumulation, while entry-level positions serve as stepping stones into the industry. How can we bridge this gap and create opportunities for enthusiastic and qualified individuals to showcase their potential? Let's rethink the criteria for experience and empower aspiring professionals to kickstart their careers successfully. #ExperienceMatters #CareerDevelopment #OpportunityCreation

Our CEO and Founder, Beth Hendler-Grunt, hosted a webinar last month. Listen to what she says about the question: "Every entry-level job asks for 3-5 years of experience, but I just graduated with a few internships. Should I apply? I don’t feel qualified." #Webinar #CareerAdvice #JobSearchTips #Graduates #EntryLevelJobs #CareerGuidance #Internships #NewGrad #JobHunt #ProfessionalDevelopment #CareerTips #BethHendlerGrunt #NextGreatStep #CareerSuccess #YoungProfessionals
