I use it to post to Google Calendar when I take an Instagram photo. Not sure how clever that is, but it might be useful in the future

You obviously don't understand the subject matter

It's stupid behaviour to do it in the first place, and shitty behaviour to do it to a charity.

If they don't like it when you're at this stage, you're in trouble! How are people presenting/explaining responsive designs at the concept stage? Designing in browser? Multiple mockups? Mood boards and style guides?

I'm not sure if you can be on the unemployment register and still work in an internship. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the government isn't looking too deeply into the situation because it keeps the dole numbers down.

Unfortunatly the examples are the rule and not the exception here from the jobs I have seen advertised. Internships (in Ireland) are pretty much seen as "work for me for nothing" rather than any kind of learning experience.

Thanks for the reply. In the two examples I linked there was no mention of training. People were required to already have the skills required to do the work.
