I have a job interview tomorrow in a screen printing shop. I'm not too good in all aspects of the screen printing process, but I do want to get better at it. It's going to be part interview and part screen printing to show him what I can do. When I asked the manager on the phone if the interview is for a job or internship, he said it's all up to me. If I show him tomorrow that I'm not too good at it and need abit more practice (unless I get lucky), does it seem desperate or silly to ask him if I can do a 2-3 week unpaid internship to get better at it? I didn't get much practice with it when I was in school and I feel that I would get alot better at it if I practiced screen printing for 2-3 weeks.

EDIT: Moderators, I made a typo in the subject line. Can you change "pain" to "paid"? Why can't users edit the title anyway?

If you screw up you may not have any other option but to do an unpaid internship for a couple of weeks, to make it worthwhile for him to hire you. Personally if that was the only option I had available, I would throw that out there if I did not get the job any other way.
