What the hell am I supposed to do with interns this year? My staff keep asking me if I have anything for the interns and I really don’t. Should I just roll them off?

Lol I’ll tell my staff that’s plan B if they don’t find intern tasks

No vouching for them to do? Also RF work papers, PBC updates, etc. Have your A2 be in charge of the intern and help figure out what to do. Your A2 can assign one of their tasks to the intern and then review the intern work / help with follow up questions

If all else fails, and you really can't find anything for them to do, make up a project for them to do. Even if its BS and not needed, it'll keep them busy.

You can ask them help updating the status monitoring, PBC status, and adding tickmarks on PBCs such as bank statements, legal confirmations, contracts, etc.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but I have a few former classmates and colleagues sweating over lateral interviews. Take a deep breath and relax.

First, doing these interviews does not define you as a person.

Second, take it one day at a time; if they are moving forward, they see something in you.

Third, remember that the people interviewing you are human beings. Connect with them, be personable.

What do you do with a Staff with ~1 year exp that legit won’t work. For example, you give them a simple task at 10am that should take 3 hours max, they ignore your check-in messages and then ask if they can give it you in the morning. They never ask questions. Morning comes and they still didn’t do it. When they finally do it, it is riddled with errors and clearly shows they didn’t try. Working under tight deadlines, this staff is killing me as I cannot rely on them at all. What would you do?
