Does an "internship" count as employment? Forum

Should I list a public interest internship under the "public service activities" portion of an application or the "employment record" portion?

How many hours a week?

If you're like Monica Lewinsky, it counts as much more.

If it was regular hours, I would list it under employment, even if unpaid.

If it was sporadic volunteering, then public service activities.

I would decide based upon whether or not you were paid.

One was 16 hours, the other 32, both unpaid

Sounds like they lean more towards the "public service activities" section

I'd put it under "Work Experience" in your resume but leave it out of employment

They want it on the actual application

Tough call man. I can't say either way
