Klingbeil has unpaid internships:

http://www.internships.com/posting/Major-Fashion-Sports-Company-looking-for-Office-Assistant?utm_source=Indeed&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=idc

I am completely disgusted that Klingbeil is asking for unpaid work disguised as an "intern".

[FigureSpins]

I am completely disgusted that Klingbeil is asking for unpaid work disguised as an "intern".

It is very sad; I don't know whether the economy is *that bad* to merit the abundance of unpaid internships.  Non-profit groups used to do this, which was understandable, but not manufacturing or retail organizations.

Unfortunately, it's very common these days.   With more and more colleges requiring internships for degree programs, finding a paid position is difficult.

[Query]

If Klingbeil actually teaches you how to make skate boots ["You will be working right from the showroom/factory and be involved with all aspects of making to selling."], as well as how to fit and modify skate boots, that might be a fair deal for someone who wanted to do that on a professional level. Essentially that would be labor in exchange for very specialized training, available virtually no where at the same level, by one of the leading custom skate boot manufacturers. Think of it as a work-study program in which work fully subsidizes tuition cost.

Alas, living in or near NYC would be pretty expensive for most of us.

Also, for some reason the "responsibilities" don't explicitly include making or fitting boots. Not sure how to interpret that.

[FigureSpins]

There's nothing to interpret: the Klingbeil listing clearly says "office assistant," and the job responsibilities list clerical tasks.  They're not looking for a fitter or boot maker.

Also, for some reason the "responsibilities" don't explicitly include making or fitting boots. Not sure how to interpret that.
