I am due to finish my degree this year and thinking about internships. Some out there you have to pay to actually get - whether or not you get paid at all. I have heard some say these aren't genuine - but I see others seem to have got through it from testimonials on websites. Any real person out there that has experience on both sides?? Thanks in advance!

I don't think it really matters if they're legit or not, but there's no way I'd pay for an internship.
I actually applied for an internship with one specific internship company and it wasn't after I accidentally submitted an incomplete application that I had to pay. All they had was my name, uni and contact details (no CV or grades or work experience or anything) and I still was accepted. They wanted me to pay £500 deposit and the whole thing was £2200 or something. No internship is worth paying for.

Better off and safer to apply for internships with an actual company via their HR or online applications.

You should never have to pay for an internship or pay to get any kind of job- this is extremely dodgy. Be very careful with testimonials on websites as they can be easily faked.

I'm going through the City Internships process atm. Looks good to me - I think the money goes towards the events and trips rather than paying to intern

Don't be a chump and pay for an internship. Just keep looking. Internships should either be for free or you should be paid
