I think, after reading this and other responses, that I will ask this intern
to summarize the quality and usefulness of her experience at the end of the
period, and to send it to this list.

Subject: Supervising Interns - The Other Side of the Coin


There's been a hearty thread on this topic, directed
from the perspective of the person
"hiring"/supervising the intern.  It begs the
question, however:

    "What do interns want during their experience?"

Obviously, the first answer is money, and the second
is a job following the internship.

Absent those, what else would you like to get from an
internship?  Without naming names, what are some of
the positives you've seen, and what might you have
liked handled differently?

We've a lot of young people on list, and I suspect
their answers could be informative for those who
supervise.
