1.

Do you think it necessary for graduating students to take internships? Why?Yes, I do. In an internship, we can put what we have learned into practice and gain work experience, which will benefit us in future employment.

2.

What do you think of unpaid internship?a. I think an unpaid internship may impress employers because it shows that you are interested in gaining experience, rather than just making some money. b.

Internship: Pros and Cons

Ah, the Catch 22 of being a graduate — the same story you’re likely to hear time and again.

Employers want you to have experience.

But how can you get that experienceunless someone employs you?

Part A

Text

Work experience seems the obvious answer and that’s where internships can come in handy. While general work experience can be any kind of employment

where you can gain valuable transferable “soft” skills (like communication andorganization), internships tend to be more specific in the field you eventually want to move into.

Lots of companies are now looking for interns and they’re not always advertised. Have a look at the top companies in the field you’re looking to move into and give their recruitment department a call to see if they’re looking for interns. Otherwise, you could send speculative CVs out explaining what you’re after in terms of experience. Some companies have structured programmes while other, usually smaller, businesses will ask for interns as someone extra. Many people are willing to help, particularly if you’re a strong graduate who’s driven enough to seek out positions in the first place.

In recent months there have been all sorts of stories about whether unpaid internships are legal. As the demand for internships have increased since the recession made finding a job much harder for graduates, more companies have started to offer unpaid internships, or those only covering expenses. Although interns don’t have any particular legal protection at the moment, the definition of legal work includes having set hours, being

engaged in a task for an extended period of time and being given a defined role rather than just observing.…

Anyone who falls under this is entitled to the national minimum wage. 3This

means that as an intern you shouldn’t be given your own workload. Instead, you’re more of an observer, shadowing a member of staff and learning the trade — although some tasks are acceptable as a way of training you and teaching you valuable skills.

long as you use your common sense and don’t feel like you’re being taken advantage of with long unpaid periods of working hard, then you can really benefit from an internship with a company.

Instead, if you are lucky enough to get into an internship scheme that’s genuine, offer to help out wherever you can, be keen to learn and show that you want to be involved. By being helpful and conscientious you’ll be remembered, and if a job does come up, you’re more likely to be at the head of the queue. Make sure you stay in touch with everyone you meet and ask them for advice about how they made it into the industry. (510 words)
