I think we're like a lot of companies, our interns are essentially office helpers. They serve as phone screeners or messengers and often get stuck running a printer. I would love to give some of them more responsibility, but there's a real resistance against letting them do too much. Like at most offices, there are stories of times an intern was given some responsibility and it did not go well.

Our internships are like entry-level positions, because they could be potentially hired. So they get exposed to real work.
I would love intern ideas that aren't boring. I want to help someone have something to talk about. If not anything else, at least something nice to say about our company.

I try to keep interesting, but they do lots of the boring stuff too. It’s not my job to entertain them, but create realistic expectations.
