[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with OP’s larger point about teaching our kids basic skills, but very much disagree on the bad reference for not knowing the skills already. We all make mistakes and have weird gaps in our knowledge.  The reference could relate to how the intern handled it-did they ask for help? Once it was explained, did they go on to handle mail correctly, etc.

I’d rather a teachable intern who wants to learn than one who thinks they already know everything. [/quote]

One that constantly whines about the schedule and wants days off? You think that's sending the right message? Why hone in on the lack of skills and ignore the lack of interest and tenacity a more impressive intern might have? These kids don't have the right skills or attitude. What's to recommend?[/quote]

I got the sense that op was talking about interns in general and not one person who didn’t know how to mail a letter and came late and asked for time off.  What if each intern only did one of these things?[/quote]
