How To Deal With An Internship That Treats You Like Trash

By Tabitha Makumi.
Bad things happen when you are an intern….things like people looking down on you, you are made to do some errands like doing photocopies and banking cheques or sometimes being told to go and buy lunch for the employed goons (for lack of better word ) and why does this happen…YOU ARE AN INTERN!
Such things can make you go mad and even worse, quit that internship and think to yourself, they can find another intern to ‘use’
Fortunately, not all people experience a bad internship, some end up loving it and getting a job at the company where they were interning…..but what if you are that guy who when the alarm goes off at 5.30pm or whatever time you wake up, you can’t help but grit your teeth at the thought of going to that internship maddening situation all over again.
Everyone tells you how you can have a good internship…..but what if you don’t? What do you do? Here are two common issues that characterize ‘bad internships’ and some tips of how to handle them:
1. Most Common. When you spend most of your time at copy machines, ordering lunch and coffee for everyone in the office and small errands where you don’t gain anything.
Sincerely this is not what you had in mind when you took up that position. You thought you would be learning something but this is what you are now subjected to.’
You may not know this but often companies use this modus operandi like to “test” interns to see how well they follow instructions and execute given tasks.
How to handle it: If you are given an assignment that has absolutely nothing to do with your internship, don’t assume the worst. Do your best and try to remain optimistic.
However, if the “push-over” work continues, let your employer know that you are eager to learn more about the company and want to contribute to its efficiency and productivity.
2. You feel that your employer asks too much of you.
In this case, you feel like they are making you do work like that a salaried employee should be responsible for.
How To Handle It: What do you do in this situation. Well, this is not time to panic and rush to get everything done quickly. This is time to prioritize your tasks and set goals so the work is completed on time and correct.
Don’t just sit there and sulk all day. Talk to your employer of the tasks they have assigned you. This way they are going to be mindful of your time and see if they are being reasonable with what they are asking you to do.
While you are at it, remember you don’t want to be like the guy in the first scenario  so  consider how these responsibilities contribute to the overall effectiveness of the company and way to get the most out of your internship.
The next big step in these two situations is deciding whether or not you can continue with the internship.
What happens when you choose to stay through thick and thin?
If you choose to stay, good for you! Not only will you feel a sense of accomplishment, but you would have experienced a dose of the real world. You know, some things just don’t go as planned.
But what if you decide to leave?
I will tell you what, before you say enough is enough, be sure that you have evaluated the situation and have made a sound decision. Never quit any position on an impulse.
It’s important to make sure that you’ve thought through your decision to leave before taking action.

5 Steps to Critique a CV If You Are Yet To Get a Job

By Tabitha Makumi
I know how demoralizing it can be to send out your CV to every imaginable potential hirer out there and still get no response. Days turn to weeks and still the phone doesn’t buzz with people calling you up for interviews.
The problem with the whole wrenching experience could be on your part as far as your CV is concerned.
Your revisions are meant to transform your resume into its most powerful form.It’s up to you to make immediate changes as you need to, and be prepared to make future changes as your job search progresses.
Let’s take a look at steps of how you can critique your own CV.
1. Your CV contain a powerful opening section that draws the recruiter in?
Don’t beat around the bush with the CV. It’s not the work of the recruiter to figure out what you want to when you grow up. It’s upon you to state what position you are targeting in the company.. Your qualifications should be well showcased and you should outline your CV in manner that it makes it easier for the recruiter to see all the highlights.
2. your CV appealing and easy to read?
Check the font type and font size throughout your CV. Don’t use fancy fonts in trying to impress the recruiter (it’s no special skill, anyone can use fonts)

Always go through your CV to make sure it’s error free

Your challenge is to draw the reader’s attention to essential information. Using white space effectively can help you do just that. Use bullet points and Bold fonts to draw attention to some particulars but remember to be professional.
3.Is your CV too lengthy?
Irrelevant Information should never see the light of day in your CV. You are not Jimnah Mbaru so your CV shouldn’t be jaw dropping lengthy. It isn’t at all uncommon for executive-level resumes to be as long as three or four pages. If you are a recent college graduate one page may suffice, but don’t be afraid to go two pages, particularly if you have some work, internship, or volunteer experience under your belt.
4.Does Your CV say how you are going to help out the company?
What skills do you have that can benefit the company ones they bring you on board? Does your resume demonstrate how you can help an employer make money? Save money or time? Solve a specific problem? Attract new customers? Retain existing customers? Communicate your abilities to contribute in one or more of the areas mentioned and employers will want to talk with you.
5.Is Your CV error free?
A CV with errors is likely to be immediately discounted. They assume that your performance on the job will be sloppy and that you don’t pay attention to details. Proofread your resume. Ask a friend or colleague to proofread your resume. Take some time off from it and come back with a fresh eye and you just might notice some hideous mistakes in punctuation, typos or spelling mistakes.
Remember if you don’t feel comfortable enough writing your own CV you can always ask for professional help.
