    I heard a woman on the radio, says ,i worked for company x,6months,intern
    ,. they let me go , said ,we don,t need you any longer.
    My job was advertised again ,intern ,wanted ,office assistant, on jobridge scheme.
    Why should a company employ someone,when they can get an intern for 50 euro per week?
    How can a normal person compete against someone ,who works for 50 euro.
    Companys put ad on fas, for nothing.Change the job title.eg office assistant etc
    IT seems we are going to end up like the usa,
    young people will need to intern ,for months ,
    to have a hope of getting experience,
    With no gaurantee of getting a job.
    Jobridge is only avaidable to people on the dole for a certain time.

    IS This good for the economy.Companys getting interns for 50 euro a week.
    I Thought interns were not supposed to do essential work.
    eg if you need a receptionist,hire one,at a full wage.
