We're working on a federal project. 8,500 participants. 1,000 employees and contractors. The festival is being built literally in a field.
An 18-year-old wonder shows up.
She needs to complete an internship in a month.
They send her to the communications director, which is me. Maybe she'll be useful.
In a month, it's unrealistic to bring a zero-level employee up to speed on such a huge project, and there's no need.
I think for a long time, decide to give her pitching tasks with clear instructions.
On the first evening, I get: "In Irkutsk, only one editorial office answered the phone..."
I write: "Ksyusha, it's 8 PM in Irkutsk now."
The next day, I receive a media relations strategy. Made by a neural network. With non-existent publications.
I explain that on a project with government money and support, a strategy is not needed. Especially such a raw one.
Another day passes, and I realize that the tasks haven't been done at all, and the Telegram chat has been deleted.
Wasted time and effort.
And it's always like this with interns.
This should look different, dear universities.
Tell me, have you had any positive experiences?
