I too was promoted to the marketing coordinator after I graduate in May. Recently, I was talking to my boyfriend, Alex, about the new role of interns at a company. Last year, both of us interned at a Philadelphia radio station (without pay or travel compensation), where interns very rarely get promoted to full time-ers. However, it seems like in the past (at least from what I’ve heard from Boomers and Gen Y-ers), interns were pretty much a shoe in for a full time job, or at least received a credible recommendation for another job. While I appreciated my time and experience at the Philadelphia radio station, I don’t know when the job description for interns changed from respectable employee to free labor. Interns need to be more appreciated in the work force – some are even the back bone of the business they are interning for!
