Feeling Like a Free Worker, Not an Intern: How Can I Get Real Guidance for My MBA Project?

I am an MBA student facing problems in my summer internship as nobody here is concerned about my project. HR and head HRs give us work every day, like making SOPs and presentations. My project is for 50 days, and already 35 days have passed, but I have not yet started the survey for my project. There is no proper guidance; whenever we ask them about the project, HR is busy. We feel that we are only seen as free workers, not interns. Please give me some solutions on what I should do.

All right, you can do one thing. As you mentioned, you have worked there for 35 days. You can detail each and every aspect of those 35 days in your report. Try to explore some external links on this subject since the HR head is not showing much interest; you would only need the certificate from him. Attempt to connect with the workers, understand how comfortable they are with the working environment, and write about them.

Yes, I just asked my HR which of the committees are formed here regarding the project. I also told her that only 15 days are remaining. She said, from tomorrow onwards, I can sit with IR people and start my survey. Thank you for your wonderful reply.

Finally, she allowed me to start my survey. However, the problem is that I will have to do everything myself.

As per your above problem and conversation, I believe you have done a great job in obtaining the information from the HR manager. Please let me know if you encounter any further issues with writing the project. I am willing to assist you if needed.

Thank you.
