I'm an intern at a company; my job is basically help at the front desk. I'm the longest-serving intern here as I've been around for about 10 months.

My 10-month contract is ending, and I've already informed them that I won't be renewing. The problem is that at the same time, the other four interns in the same role are also leaving, and three of them are new. This is also after the three who were in these positions before them quit long before their contracts ended.

My manager is literally going crazy and won't stop complaining that she has lost seven interns in less than a year. She keeps saying that we are throwing away a great opportunity and don't appreciate the chance she gave us.

Now she's targeting me, telling me I can't do this to her, and that the least I could do is stay an extra month to train the new people. Honestly, this is really bothering me and making my last few weeks here very awkward. How am I supposed to handle this professionally? Should I just put up with it and ignore her? Or is there a polite way to tell her to back off?

I just received a rejection email that made me die laughing. I had applied for a job about three weeks ago. Just imagine..

The job was a carbon copy of my current one. The job description was so similar that I barely had to edit anything in my CV. They had classified this job as entry-level, which is honestly laughable, but okay. They were asking for 4 to 6 years of experience, and I have 12. They wanted a bachelor's degree in a related field, which I have. They also wanted a master's in Instructional Tech, Adult Learning, or a similar educational field. I have the Instructional Tech one. Even the salary they listed was very suitable for me.

The email says they decided to proceed with other candidates because I don't have enough practical experience and my educational background isn't suitable. This tells me one of two things:

First, that this was a ghost job posted only as a legal formality, and they had already hired someone from within the company. This is the most logical scenario.

Second, that they literally didn't even glance at my CV or application. I mean, my master's degree is clearly written at the top of my CV and on LinkedIn. And my last two jobs required this exact same degree. So for them to say I don't have the required educational qualification is just plain wrong and proves that this rejection email is just a ready-made template they send out.

I'm really surprised by companies that complain they can't find employees while pulling stunts like this. They're so disorganized they can't even send a rejection email that makes sense. And the crazy part is this wasn't an automated system email; it came from the hiring manager himself. Truly unbelievable.

At this point, I’ve realized something: it’s not just about having the right experience anymore, it’s about how you present it and how you handle the process once you actually get in front of them. If they're using ai to filter cvs, we should use it too! will update my cv via tools like gemini or chatgpt, and for my upcoming interviews, I’m planning to approach things differently and use tools like InterviewMan to structure my answers better, highlight my experience properly.

My manager is making me feel guilty for leaving after all the other interns quit. How do I handle my last few weeks professionally?

I received a rejection email that confirmed my suspicions: they don't even read the CVs
