She's heartbroken too, questioning how anyone gains experience if free work like his doesn't lead to a chance, and she filed a formal complaint. The council responded that their hiring is under review to stay inclusive. Brian finished his internship last June and has since applied to other local authorities and private firms. But no luck so far. While Brian battles disappointment and doubts his worth, his family urges him to keep
