It’s actually kind of a bit risk for the applicant, which makes it a big risk for the interviewer if you have half a heart.

If you get fired four weeks in to your internship, because no amount of coaching from the senior employees is worth the investment by the company.... that’s a tough situation to be in. It’s pretty late at that point to start looking for another internship for the summer.

And if you’re the kid’s supervisor... that’s not a fun conversation to have.
