<p>eg. Google R&D over the summer</p>
<p>As in the coming summer?</p>
<p>yes.
Depending on the field you want to get into after college, and the nature of the internship, paid may look better than unpaid, but unpaid is better than nothing.</p>
<p>Why do paid internships look better?</p>
<p>more competitive</p>
<p>how do u say “paid” on the resume?</p>
<p>you can’t.
and paid internships aren’t allways more competitive. Sometimes they are paid to get more applicants interested in a crappy position…etc.</p>
<p>And in my opinion, unpaid internships show more passion for a field.</p>
<p>how did you get that Google r&d position though, and what do you?</p>
<p>Exactly (about the passion), I’ve already had an unpaid internship with Oracle and my SEO interviewer seemed really impressed with my work and passion (also exhibited through my mentor reference there).</p>
<p>how?</p>
<p>i go to university of michigan</p>
<p>and i know larry page because</p>
<p>google sponsors our club (which is currently in development)
, even though they technically don’t sponsor organizations.</p>
<p>wat do i do?</p>
<p>Mountain view/new york business stuffs engineering stuffs, i dont know…</p>
