we hired an intern today.

[stilleto]

He's 48 and is going to work for me for 6 weeks, unpaid.

why, you ask?
because there's so few jobs that he said as long as he's looking for work, he might as well continue to get experience with us to add to his resume.

(he was an account manager at a marketing firm, but didn't have the hands on experience at a non-agency he's going to get with us).

so, 2 things:
would 6 weeks of experience at a mid size company really make that much of a difference?

training this guy and making sure he has work to do is going to totally suck up my valuable time. grrr.

Maybe you can give the poor guy a job after six weeks? He can be you're right hand man.

I was thinking the same thing... maybe he wants so bad to work that he's willing to work for free, show how hardworking and dedicated he is and in turn receive a paying job??

That's more than likely illegal.

It takes some pretty strict requirements to qualify someone as an "unpaid" intern. He's gonna sue yo ass after the fact!
