Hello fellow posters.
In one of these threads it was suggested that one should offer to work for free (when you don´t have yet a valuable skill set) for someone who knows a great deal about the subject you want to learn and exchange for their experience.
However, the question is whether this person would be willing to take you and teach you something of value. How should I approach such person and make the offer “I will work for free in exchange for your experienceâ€.
How to convince him to take such deal as he could easily just brush it off as of no use to him?
I live in a small town. There are two factories here of about 500 employees each. I was thinking of somehow talking directly to both of the factory head manager and try to offer to work for free in exchange for the intership/mentorship. I actually need the intership to receive a engineering degree as there is a certain minimum amount of hours I need to put in ir order to be eligible to get the degree.
Where I live interships get a small financial compensation, but I would only work for free if I get to be working directly for the head manager, because I offer that to people in lower positions they probably would get me to do drone work for free and I would get no valuable insights at all in exchange.
So, any suggestions?
