I went into my internship being excited to dig in, but no matter what I do, it isn't enough. I do my weekly tasks with ease (yes I have a few questions here and there) and I have tons of extra work that I don't know what to do with. They say to brainstorm, but what do I do with my ideas? Nobody can be bothered with me, so I don't know when to present my ideas. the department meetings are insanely intimidating as an intern with 0 experience.
My manager got promoted right before I started, so she was working two jobs while trying to train me. The new manager does things differently and is still learning, so sometimes I cant answer her questions. Sometimes she asks me to do basic tasks, but since I have no previous experience with these things, I cannot complete the task without more direction. This company acts like I am a hinderance because of this, but the work I KNOW how to do, I excel in.
I was asked to do a job on a big project but didn't know how to do it. my old manager said it's just like what I'm already doing, but another manager in the email thread said no it isn't. it ended up being a very complicated task that I was not qualified for. all I wanted was 5 minutes of their time to explain it to me... is that too much to ask?
Starting from 9:30am and ending at exactly 4:59pm, they passed me from person to person to person for help. Nobody explained. The work didn't get done. I googled it, but it didnt make sense to me in the context. The other intern in my department (we're not connected) was given a shoutout for her work on the project, so when I asked what it was she was doing, it was a much simpler job. And she has a manager who has the time and energy to help her out.
As a result, I asked the previous intern who is now hired to give me some feedback and she told me it's not a big deal, but that I need to show more initiative and figure things out on my own. Is this true? I tried to figure it out myself with the help of google but I'm not a numbers person and it did not help, especially when I factored in the context of the project. I'm not even in the office with them so if I don't have a single clue how to do it and nobody will respond to me, I don't see much of a choice...
It's Sunday night and I'm doing internship work because I have so much anxiety about this next week. It's been so miserable, every week I cry.
I don't think it's the industry or job field that's the problem -- it's either me, or the company. I can't tell.
