答案 Unpaid Internship Pays Off Two years ago, when one of my friends graduated from university, she took an unpaid internship in a company. I was skeptical about this internship offer. Three months later, owing to her excellent performance, she was hired as a regular employee with a handsome salary. It was then that I changed my attitude. Free internship would be worthwhile if it’s one’s dream job or related to one’s life ambition. To start with, an unpaid internship can be viewed as a stepping stone to a career field one aspires after. It’s not easy to get a desirable job in this bleak job market. The situation is even gloomier if one’s ambition lies in such high-profile industries as journalism, publishing, advertising and so on. In order to enter these professions, working experience is more than often a must Thus, it is advisable for undergraduates to regard a free internship as a foot in the door of their ideal career. Secondly, by taking an unpaid internship, undergraduates are not selling short of themselves as those experts said. On the contrary, they are showing real determination and perseverance to work hard. One common weakness among youngsters is a desire for quick returns. The willingness to take a free internship demonstrates to some extent that one is a sound employee with one’s feet on the ground, not eager for instant benefit. Those undergraduates who take free internship are able to look beyond tangible gains and have far sight, knowing that a temporary concession will bring more benefit in the long run. They will be welcomed by most employers. Finally, young graduates should consider free internships as an opportunity to accumulate working experience and social connections, which might give them a competitive edge. Interns may be doing something as trivial as typing and photocopying that makes them question the value of the internship, especially when no income is earned. However, through keen observation and active communication, they can make new friends and obtain a wide range of knowledge of the desired profession, which is intangible benefit to interns. Maybe what people are concerning about unpaid internships is whether the employer is taking advantage of innocent students for free labor. We cannot rule out this possibility and governmental supervisors should try hard to regulate employers’ behaviors. For undergraduates, if they find a way into a well-established company, they should hold the faith that the legitimately unpaid internship will eventually pay off.
