Wednesday, August 10, 2011. Countryside Ranger Internship Update. Hi everyone, Kate again.

My first day without my colleague Eilidh was very daunting. And onl...

Adopt an Intern: Should you be complaining?
http://adoptanintern.blogspot.com/2011/09/should-you-be-complaining.html
Friday, September 9, 2011. Should you be complaining? CSPP Adopt an Intern programme offers paid internships. Personally I think it is a sad state of affairs when that is a surprising sentence. For many graduates these days the assumption is that an internship is unpaid unless told otherwise. Social mobility be damned. Seems to think that working unpaid is nothing to be complained about - you’re getting an education aren’t you? I think that it is important to remember that employment is not a one way str...

http://adoptanintern.blogspot.com/2011/09/end-in-nigh.html
Friday, September 16, 2011. The end in nigh! Hi folks, after several re-extensions to my contract, the final day of my internship as a countryside ranger has arrived. About 3 weeks ago, I had an interview for the countryside ranger post, however, I was unsuccessful. It all came down to the same old nutshell….experience (or lack thereof). And so, as of Friday, I will be officially unemployed for the first time. All really great experience with a few challenges thrown in along the way! Aswell as working at...

Adopt an Intern: October 2011
http://adoptanintern.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 17, 2011. It has been a bit of a busy weekend on the old internship front on the heels of some extremely disappointing youth unemployment figures. From the articles and comments that I have been reading this week, there are two separate issues that surround unpaid internships. One of these is picked up on regularly - the ethical and legal dilemmas of unpaid internships. Should the work that an intern carries out be paid? So here is the question that I am sure you ask yourself, it’s ...
