It was a four-month stint in software development for a non-profit.
It's really infuriating that so much of a person's success in getting a job is based on their ability to bullshit.
Years ago I got a job as a hospital janitor. I had to take a personality exam and then do an hour long interview. The interview was all open ended questions like, "What's the biggest professional challenge you've experienced, and how did you overcome it?" and "Tell me about a time when a coworker was angry and how you dealt with it".
I don't see how your ability to answer such questions tells them anything about your capability to empty trash cans and mop up piss. It felt like a process designed by an HR person to justify their job.
Im doing an internship right now
I dont get paid by the company
But i still get my federal education student grant every month (all students get this, in Denmark throughout all of their education)
And my internship is only 2 months
I would rather get paid of course. But i consider it to be school. Im learning a lot and its super stress free, free lunch etc
Still terrible. As a software engineering student in Sweden I did 3 summer internships and all were paid.
the scam is they want you to do work but won't pay you. I don't know what the experience thing is about
uncritical support to everyone who bullshits their way through stuff like this
That's my job posting, sorry you saw it. I made it just to see what sort of freaks and weirdos would want to apply to an internship that requires 2 years of experience.
