Internships
Kamenetz (2006) and Halperin (2010) take opposing views of the value of unpaid internships. Both write about the issue, Kamenetz arguing that unpaid internships distort labor markets and do not meet the needs of interns, while Halperin argues that even though paid internships are better, there are benefits to the student of unpaid internships. This article will outline the different issues involved in the unpaid internship question, and the perspectives that each of these different authors has to argue. At the conclusion of the essay will be a determination of which author made the better case.

One of the issues that both authors raised was that of the value that the intern was getting. In particular, since there was no pay, the internship must provide value to the student in terms of the knowledge transferred to the student, the training the student receives and the contacts that the student makes. Halperin,…...

Internships
Anya Kamenetz (2006) and Jennifer Halperin (2010) take opposing views of the issue of unpaid internships. In their pieces, the discuss some of the same issues, but they also discuss different issues, and the two writers certainly come to different conclusions about the issue of unpaid internships. At the heart of the issue are unpaid, rather than paid, internships, because this is a rising trend in both business and academia to use student interns to perform work. The internship provides valuable experience to the student, but there is some criticism of the practice of not paying interns because they are providing their time and labor. This paper will discuss and dissect the points that each of these authors is making about unpaid internships.

The first point that is made is about fairness of the unpaid internship. Both authors agree that, in general, internships are a good thing for students. The internship…...

Internship
For my internship experience, I choose to work at Gold & Black Illustrated, a print magazine that covers Purdue University sports. The magazine has 2,000 paid subscribers. Members of the John Purdue Club -- Purdue's athletic fundraising society -- all receive the magazine as one of the perks of their membership. The magazine has both a print and a virtual component. The print version is designed to be a glossy keepsake. The electronic component is published up to 30 times per year to give ongoing information about Purdue sports and is delivered Wednesdays during football season and Monday during basketball season. It offers an interactive experience with both video and audio components and is well-suited in the size and design to iPad and tablet reading. Its information is current, but the articles are in-depth and provide additional information beyond that of quick captions of the sort that might be written…...

Internship
The first steps that we take in our careers can have an enormous impact on the direction that our entire life will take, which means that we should choose our first positions carefully. This is all too often not the strategy that people take because, since they are relatively lacking in experience and skills at the beginning of their careers they quite often settle for the first thing that comes to hand. This is especially true during difficult economic times like the present.

However, I would like to choose positions that help prepare me for a career spent in environmental work. I feel that there can be no more important work to do and that taking an internship in the environmental field will help provide me with the skills that I will need during my career in environmental work as well as providing me with invaluable contacts within the field.

Internship Philosophy

The philosophy of an internship does not always meet the actual internship experience or the individual's expectations of the employment as many internships can become a drudgery of tasks that no one at the company wants to do and the owner/supervisor does not want to pay anyone to do. Yet, opportunity to see the inner workings of a company is an essential aspect of the internship that must be harbored beyond the idea of "free labor." Internship supervision and review is essential to this process. One of the ways in which this review can occur is through the development of works such as this that require reflection of the experience.

As an intern I made contacts that I would never have had before and learned a little bit more about multi-national business, an area of great interest to me. If I seek employment in an international firm, domestic or otherwise…...

This is the path that I had generally felt I wanted to take with my career, and after this internship I still feel that is the right choice for me. There is a certain freedom that comes with being your own boss. Yes, there is marketing involved but that to me is a welcome break from the usual tasks. Knowing that all of the fruits of my hard work will be mine has an appeal. The culture of the office is something that I have total control over, and I do not need to answer to any other boss. I've seen that running your own office can be more challenging, but Mr. Garza genuinely loves what he does and having worked there for three months I can see why.
I also got a feel for the functional skills that are put to use everyday. Some of the tasks will be…...

Internship Narrative:
I have had the pleasure to work undergo a counseling internship at Catholic Charities, a mental health counseling agency. The internship has been quite helpful in my process to become a counselor through the educational, challenging, and rewarding practicum experience I obtained from the agency. During this period, I was assigned some tasks that were relatively new in my learning experience and provided significant challenges at first. However, the process ended up being one of the most beneficial learning experiences I have had because of its rewarding nature. As a result, the entire counseling internship at the mental health agency has been an avenue and opportunity for learning and growth in my journey to become a counselor.

Catholic Charities is one of the largest mental health agencies in the country with a long standing history. As a private organization, this agency works to support individuals, families, and communities with mental…...

However, what does seem clear is that there are not sufficient ethical guidelines for the finance business. Kookmin Bank seemed very welling to address the issue of ethics. ather than allowing employees to read and personally interpret ethical rules, Kookmin gave a very in-depth training to employees regarding those rules. This training went a long way towards clearing up misconceptions. That is important because many ethical issues begin with a seemingly innocuous behavior in a gray area, which can rapidly devolve into clearly unethical behavior. Moreover, Kookmin has established a review standard for ethical issues, which is in place to help employees confront ethical dilemmas before they seem insurmountable.
Defining Moments in the Internship

The first defining moment of my internship occurred two days after I began my internship, when I was taken to meet the head of the bank. Kookmin Bank is a huge bank with branches in several different…...

These were major projects and I spent a large amount of time and effort completing them. It was also a significant learning experience for me, since I was able to use the skills I learned during my college years and apply them to a real life situation. I therefore felt very satisfied with my work on a variety of levels, not least because I felt it was worked well and professionally done. I was very pleased with the finished product. I felt it was my first truly important job in a professional setting. It was a wonderful and satisfying experience.
My second defining moment was a conflict situation that arose between my executive director and CFO. What happened was that the Korean Financial Supervision Institute required the bank to use the Economic Capital method in the Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP). My executive director, who is Korean, wanted to…...

3. Tardiness and Missed Appointments without Adequate Notice -- the agency received several complaints from clients or from their family members about service providers who had failed to keep scheduled appointments without any notice. There were also numerous complaints about late arrivals at the homes of patients. The supervisor determined that all of the complaints about missed appointments related to two CNAs; they determined that the tardiness complaints pertained to many service providers but that in the vast majority of cases, the delays were unavoidable and attributable to delays incurred by the service providers at the homes of previously scheduled patients.

4. Unnecessary Referrals for Services and Misstatements of Public Program Eligibility -- in several instances, patients had been referred inappropriately for home health services by their physicians. In most of those cases, the patients and their families had also been misinformed about their eligibility for public assistance for the financial…...

A multi-million dollar corporation is less likely to be concerned about the costs of interns than the potential to find new talent to bring into their firm. The fashion industry thrives on changes in societal attitudes and fast moving trends. An internship in the fashion industry will be an excellent opportunity for the student, but what about for the company?
Hiring an intern has advantages and disadvantages. Like the costs and legalities, the advantages and disadvantages often depend on the individual situation. The key is finding the right match. If the intern is a good match for the firm, the internship will have the advantage of bringing fresh new ideas and creativity to the firm. The intern will enhance the firm, as would any employee that had the right "spark." An intern can help to fill a temporary vacancy in the company, either to be later hired themselves, or to…...
