Should You Take an Unpaid Internship position?

Finding a full time job has become harder than ever before, which has seen many recent graduates resort to taking unpaid internship positions within companies. But before accepting any offers to labor away for free, here's what you should ask.

1. What are the expectations? On paper, the internship seems like a real deal, even if it's unpaid. Still, it's wise to have a solid grasp of what you'll do and the amount of work. 

2. Will you be overextended? Whether you're unemployed or have a part-time job, it's important not to let
your unpaid internship consume all your time. "Set limits and within those limits, perform as capably as you can."

3. Does the internship have more promise than previous ones? If your internship doesn't bare employment fruit or add skills that increase the likelihood of landing a job at the organization or elsewhere, it may not be worth it. "

4. Could it settle a career path? If you're not sure if a career is right for you, completing an internship is one of the best ways to find out.

5. Is it financially doable? Prior to becoming a full-fledged adult, you had bills that were nonexistent or sent to your parents to pay. While an unpaid internship may boost your CV and help you gain work experience, it may not be compatible with your expenses.
