I don't think the OP disagrees, but the keyword here is "unpaid", let alone the opportunity cost for working at a potentially bad-fit company for a month.

- jonfw 6y agoJust compare the value proposition to something like college. People will sacrifice quite a lot to get into the career they want to be in- and it's very often worth while. I won't make the argument that this is preferable to fielding and accepting an offer immediately, because obviously it isn't. However, this is preferable to going unemployed for months on end or giving up and going back to unskilled work- which is the reality for many folks right now.
