<p>is this only for PAID work?</p>
<p>what about things like job shadowing</p>
<p>Job experience is paid work. Tghey also ask what you did with the money you've earned.</p>
<p>You can put the shadowing somewhere with ECs.</p>
<p>if the job shadow was for school, i don't think it would be appropriate, but if it was like an internship, that would be ok.</p>
<p>Should I put down my science internship (about 15/20 h/wk) under jobs, even though I don't get paid (it's volunteer, at least for now)?
BTW, its at a corporation/company (Mayo Clinic) not a Univ or whatever</p>
<p>ice, I would put the internship under the job category. whether you got paid is not the point. They just want to know how you spend your time.</p>
<p>cool, thanks for the advice</p>
<p>I've had 2 science internships, and they are not going into jobs. A job is a job, meaning you get paid. I put an ec as "Bio Research" and in positions held I elaborated, "UCD whatever internship (04/05), Carnegie Institute whatever internship (summer 05) "</p>
<p>I'm out of room on EC tabs; neither would I have the space to actually write out something like the sentence you just did describing your interns (damn online app haha). I might just take cardinal's advice even though its not a traditional paid job. Eh, I don't think they'll care that much.</p>
<p>definitely get it in somewhere...lol</p>
<p>I would not list an unpaid internship under "Work Experience." It is pretty clear that they are asking for compensated (paid) experience as they ask how you spent your earnings.</p>
<p>Internship hours are good and you should definitely list them, just not under "Work Experience."</p>
