Work for Free!
For about the past month or so, it finally feels like the economy might really be getting ready to improve in New York. The tourists are back, there seem to be more businesses opening rather and closing and the media want ads are filled with fewer of those funny unpaid intern "jobs." Oh but whoops, today's MediaBistro has a gem from "Mr. Foreign Affairs Writer" who is seeking "an intern-associate to help him, part-time, with fascinating articles for major publications, and with preparation for a book. After an initial orientation period of 1-2 months, modest compensation will go into effect." Maybe you also get to hold his mirror for him so he has one hand free while typing.
