Asking for Input: Posting Unpaid Internships
Note from 3/9/16: Thanks to all for your input! My decision on this issue is posted here.
Hi, Everyone!
I’ve been thinking a lot about whether to discontinue posting unpaid internships. I try to emphasize the paid ones by putting the word “paid” in the post title, but I have generally always posted unpaid internships as well. I will always continue to post paid internships.
I know that there are a lot of strong opinions about the ethics of unpaid internships. I have opinions of my own! However, if posting unpaid internship positions is still useful for a lot of you, I want to take that into account before I decide.
This post is also open to comments, should you want to make one. You may also email me with a private comment at archivesgig@gmail.com, or tweet comments publicly @archivesgig.
I’m leaving this poll up for two weeks, closing on March 9th. Thank you all so much for your time.
