[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my experience, internships work best when you can assign them an independent, summer-long project that may or may not see the light of day, depending on how well it is done (and won’t create additional work for someone else if it is not done right). They are happy “owning” a somewhat meaningful project, they hopefully walk away with a work sample, and if they don’t execute, no one cares. Identifying and managing this project takes a lot of work on the part of the intern manager though. I hate it when an intern is dropped on me because someone’s nephew needed resume content.[/quote] +1 Just wait until the nephew applies for a job under you and you have to frantically but quietly stop your boss from making them your permanent problem[/quote]
