Internship
Significado: A temporary work position, often unpaid, where students gain professional experience in their field.
Internships are the bridge between college and career. 'Did you get an internship this summer?' is the standard junior-year question. Paid internships at big companies (Google, Goldman Sachs) are fiercely competitive. Unpaid internships are controversial — they favor students who can afford to work for free. 'I interned at' is resume gold. Some internships lead to full-time offers; others lead to coffee-fetching stories. The internship hustle starts sophomore year and does not stop until you have one.
Ejemplos
- I got a summer internship at a tech company — it pays well and could lead to a full-time offer. 我拿到了一家科技公司的暑期实习——薪资不错,还可能转正。Conseguí unas prácticas de verano en una empresa tecnológica — pagan bien y podrían acabar en una oferta de trabajo fija.テック企業での夏のインターンシップを獲得した。給料も良いし、正社員のオファーにつながるかもしれない。테크 기업에서 여름 인턴십을 받았어——급여도 괜찮고 정규직 제안으로 이어질 수도 있어.
- Unpaid internships should be illegal — only wealthy students can afford them. 无薪实习应该被列为违法——只有家境富裕的学生才做得起。Las prácticas no remuneradas deberían ser ilegales — solo los estudiantes ricos pueden permitírselas.無給インターンシップは違法にすべきだ。裕福な学生しかできないじゃないか。무급 인턴십은 불법이어야 해——부유한 학생만 할 수 있잖아.
- Her internship turned into a full-time job right after graduation. 她的实习在毕业后直接变成了全职工作。Sus prácticas se convirtieron en un trabajo fijo justo después de graduarse.彼女のインターンシップは、卒業直後にそのまま正社員の仕事になった。그녀의 인턴십은 졸업 직후 바로 정규직으로 전환됐어.
