With so much talk about the undeniable unfairness of unpaid or very poorly paid internships I present to you the 8th wonder of the world. Not only a paid internship but one that’s £30k per annum paid. Commerzbank (yes, it had to be a financial institution) have a 12 month grad internship position in their Portfolio Restructuring Unit on offer. Closing date October 31st. Job description attached. And before the pound signs obscure your vision do actually read the job description and ask yourself a) if you’ve the skills and experience they’re looking for and b) is this actually a job you want to do? 12 months can be a long time if you’re in a job you don’t enjoy, even if the pay is good.

If I can be of any help with your application let me know: david.gilchrist@brunel.ac.uk.

I know for a fact that the following graduate intern positions are crying out for more applications. Have a look. All positions are paid. Applications are being sought now.

p.s. take note of my last post. Look at the ads carefully. Take your time. Identify what they involve. Ask yourself carefully whether it’s an opportunity you want. If you do, apply.
