Internships are changing the landscape of labor where unemployment is still high. In today's economy, an internship is one of the most direct ways to gain access to ANY MARKET YOU WANT TO LEARN ABOUT. More and more undergrads are realizing this (and it's not just for those who are beefing up their resume). More grad students and mid-career folks are also realizing this. Employers are getting it.

Yes, perhaps YOU didn't get that job. But YOU can probably get that internship. Which LEADS to that job.

Sites such as InternMatch get that idea. They make this process easier for those of us who are searching. They seem to care about the search process and they keep it simple and personalized.

Keep up the good work InternMatch!



People complain about working for free all the time. I think they are pretty foolish. After all, historically people always paid for apprenticeships.


One thing to consider about unpaid internships is that they can limit the potential candidate pool. Not everyone can afford to work without being paid.
