I Went [Dead] Quiet When An Intern Asked Me for a Full-Time Role. It’s Baffling.
Why would she when she has nothing good to say about her boss?
Let me deliver a twist.
I am not my intern’s boss. She reports to someone else on my team.
This is the second twist.
She has zero respect for Isabelle, the Gen Z, and the youngest on my team. It surprised me. Being only 7 years apart, I thought they would connect better.
That’s why I tie her to Princess Isabelle.
Time for the final twist.
My intern wants to join our company and my team despite her [bad] impression of Isabelle.
Hmm.
The enthusiastic intern surprised me
We call her Ling.
Ling is attached to my team for software sales exposure for 3 months.
She opted for a university gap year [actually, 6 months] and invested her time with us.
Maybe we pay interns above market? Maybe.
But no matter.
Ling is approaching the tail-end of her tenure with us. I had to grade her internship and submit it to Ling’s university’s career office.
