hey guys..

my name is deesha

i am currently prusuing my MBA from university of mumba..i have completed my first year..basically am not a mumbai localite

so for my internship i have come to my hometown-aurangabad [maharashtra] and have joined a very good organisation [name of the organisation withheld] ..i am really looking forward to learn lot many things during my intership...

actually speaking my internship should have started from 2nd may 2008 and end on 30 june 2008..but as of now am just doing a home assigment on training and development given to me by my mentor at that organisation...

where as my friends back in mumbai are learning new things everday..

i think coming back to my hometown and joining here in aurangabad was a wrong decision

but now i want to make my mentor realise that i am losing precious time of my learning..

i think he is not taking me seriuosly..i want him to realise that i really want to learn a good deal of actual HR working...

he being my mentor i cant just straight away say him about what i feel...i fear he might feel bad...

can somebody please help me out as to how sholud i make him realise this.

thanking you

please do reply

regards,

deesha chandan

Hi Deesha

Till what time do you have to submit your assignment on training and development. Is the report to be submitted to your mentor?

There are two ways to look at your problem:

1. On a positive note, Your mentor may be helping you by making you work on actual needs for the company rather than wasting your time by making you sit idle in the office. He may ask you to come to office after a month, so that you are prepared with the training part and he may tell you to do a mock session kind of thing.

2. On a negative note, the mentor is taking advantage of you either by making you prepare something which he should have done or he doesn't want you to get knowledge of the company's internal matters.

It may also be the case, where young interns come up with lot of enthus and may try to give suggestions regarding change. This may not be well accepted by the internal person and he may think that the intern is quite a disturbing element in his daily routine.

It has happened with quite a few people where the interns thought that the HR person in the company was taking a wrong path and did the obvious thing of suggesting the person. THAT'S WHERE YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL!! Don't be a threat to him.

There are lot of things which we can imagine of what is happening with you.

But I feel you should talk to him. Say that you are giving importance to the T&D assignment, but at the same time, you need to understand a company's working culture and its operations. You may ask him in a polite manner about his professional career, success and his struggle. May be it will work for you. Ask him if you can come to office on alternate days.

I hope you will get more suggestions from other members.

Hi deesha,
I agree with Anu, take a deep breath and discuss with an open mind.However since internship is time bound you may have to stress that you are eager for hands on experience.(Take a chill pill..joking about that ok.)
1.Make a list of all that is troubling you
2. Try to figure out how many of these facts your senior /Mentor is aware of
3. for each make 2- 3 options . Like as Anu says it is risky to try Interns on serious or regular inhouse Assignments. In this case ask him to direct you to a section where you can have periodical interactions.
4. For every employee every minute and effort is very valuable do respect that. So make sure that you are committed and behave that way too.
5. Finally do not get flustered comparing with your batch mates, Girl think for yourself...
have a nice Day!
