Many of us, part of the summer 2008 and 2009 graduating classes were unfortunately incredibly hard-hit by the smack of the recession and the rise in unemployment... Eager to gain experience and hopeful to one day find jobs, we thus, entered an endless cycle of "Eternal Internships"...one after another in hopes of finally reaching "Eternal Employment"... It seems as though there is finaly a little light at the end of the tunnel, but times have been tough and the "Eternal Intern" phenomemon is not one to be ignored (often coupled with the 'unpaid' phenomenon - double whamy!).
