Should I pay an intern?
Except for specific limited circumstances the federal government requires all interns be paid at least minimum wage. Most students are also paying for college. We recommend you pay a competitive wage in order to attract the best candidates away from other jobs.
Can I hire an intern to provide us with expertise we are lacking (e.g. marketing, social media, web design, etc.)?
A true internship involves a professional in the field mentoring the student during the internship. If there is no one qualified to do this, we recommend that you list the opportunity as a part-time job rather than an internship.
