Share Your Internships Horror Story
Well, during my internship at a marketing firm, I was constantly overworked. I was given tasks way beyond what an intern should handle. I had to stay late every day, sometimes until midnight, just to meet the deadlines. And the worst part was that my supervisor hardly gave any guidance. It was a nightmare.
What Are the Most Common Internships Horror Stories?
One common horror story is unpaid internships that end up being exploited labor. Many companies take advantage of interns by making them work long hours with no pay. Another is being in a hostile work environment where there is bullying or discrimination. I've heard of interns being harassed by senior employees. And then there's the situation where interns are promised great learning opportunities but end up doing only grunt work.
What are the benefits of internships?
Internships also enhance employability. Having an internship on your resume shows potential employers that you have some work experience and are familiar with the professional environment. It gives you an edge over other candidates who have no practical experience.
Share your TigerDirect horror story.
I once ordered a computer from TigerDirect. When it arrived, the box was all banged up. I opened it nervously, and found that the monitor had a huge crack across it. I immediately contacted their customer service, but it took forever to get a response. And when they finally did, they were very unhelpful, trying to blame the shipping company instead of taking responsibility for their poor packaging.
