If you are posting an unpaid internship in the U.S., please make sure you are following the guidelines set forth by the U.S. Department of Labor which state the following rules:

The internship, even though it includes actual operation of the facilities of the employer, is similar to training which would be given in an educational environment;
The internship experience is for the benefit of the intern;
The intern does not displace regular employees, but works under close supervision of existing staff;
The employer that provides the training derives no immediate advantage from the activities of the intern; and on occasion its operations may actually be impeded;
The intern is not necessarily entitled to a job at the conclusion of the internship and
The employer and the intern understand that the intern is not entitled to wages for the time spent in the internship.
