 Paid intern hiring committees should keep in mind that we're hiring for "aptitude, not experience".  This should be reflected in all facets of the hiring process, including hiring criteria, interview questions, and thinning, and candidate choice.

 There was a type of collective member that was somewhat similar to the idea of an Exploratory Intern, where the compensation for the position is linked to the amount of income it brings to the organization. This model was used both for the Sales Coordinator and the Printer Coordinator positions. From [http://lists.freegeek.org/pipermail/council/2002-July/000026.html Council email list, July 2002]:

 ===Expectations for Paid Internships===
 * Job Experience Interns are expected to work on the day to day functions in the area to which they are assigned, including training volunteers in that area if appropriate.
 * Collective Members, by contrast, are expected to understand how the various areas of Free Geek interact and work on the long term goals of the areas to which they are assigned.
 * It's a good idea for paid interns to take on a project towards the end of his/her internship.  This project could be  created during the intern's review.  The skills, aptitudes, and personality of the intern should help determine the shape of the project.

 * Paid Interns are paid hourly. Unlike [[Staff Collective]] members, they do not receive health care, vacation, sick, retirement, or holiday benefits.
 * Paid Interns, along with other staff and key volunteers make up [[Core]].
