What looks better on a College Application, Paid internship or Unpaid?
This isn't tailored to internships in terms of job prospects, rather it is a question about which path would be better suited to place on a college application. The money isn't needed, but it would definitely be helpful. However, if an unpaid internship is a way to go, I will certainly not hesitate in pursuing one next year (as I'm in grade 10 right now). #college-major #college #internship #college-admissions

Hi there! In my opinion, it doesn't matter whether an internship is paid or unpaid, it's all about the experience you gain. If the money is not an issue, then you have the unique opportunity to search for and choose the internship that simply gives you the most relevant and beneficial experience and connections you're looking for. College applications and resumes usually won't indicate whether an internship was paid or unpaid, anyway! Good luck!

It doesn't matter either way! The benefits of an internship are that you can learn about an area you might want to work in, so it's better to choose an internship that aligns with your career goals. Most interviewers/reviewers won't ask or care whether your internship was paid or not.

It doesn't matter.
The job role/function is the more important piece.
Doing a great job so that you have references, is important too.

I do not think employers will even ask if your internship was paid or unpaid. Experience is experience either way which is all they are looking for and appreciate in a candidate in the end anyways.
