I beg to differ. I can think of a great many possible examples of situations where a startup or small business would benefit from having an intern, and have a lot more to teach an intern than a big company would. Small businesses and startups often have very limited funds.
- viraptor 16y agoIncome share, low pay contract work, commission, ... There are so may ways to pay people and not pay a lot if you don't have an income yourself. But then again - you say would benefit from having an intern - that means s/he has influence over potential future income. If you have no money or other employees and the intern is supposed to create the company from scratch - there's a different position for that. If you already have other employees... limited funds or not - you either need that person or you don't. If they do enough work that it will benefit you financially, take a loan and pay them. If they're not useful at this stage - why take them at all?
