As interns we face many issues at our agencies some small and some big, whether small or not they should always be resolved in an professional manner. below are isuues that may arise at an agency, things to think about and ways to resolve them.
Issues that may arise.......
ž Let say you have been at your internship for about 2 weeks and have not been assigned anything to do.
ž Let’s say that your supervisor has given you the job to answer the phone but has given your peer the job to interview clients and write up paper work
ž Your supervisor does not allow you to use your phone, however you see your peer using their phone.
ž Your supervisor says inappropriate things to you when your alone in his or her office.
Ask yourself a couple of questions before trying to resolve the issue.......
ž Have you presented yourself in a way that makes you seem as if you can not handle a task greater than the one given to you.
ž Is the issue you are having that important that you need to bring it to the supervisor’s attention.
Ways to resolve your issues.....
ž Realize that some conflicts are inevitable at work.
ž Handle conflicts sooner rather than later. Resolve the issue when it starts, as it only gets worse with time.
ž Invite the other person to talk about the situation. A hurried conversation at your desk between emails and phone calls won’t solve anything. You need a peaceful location and time to address the issue.
ž Ask nicely: If somebody has done something that made you angry, or if you don’t understand their viewpoint or actions, simply asking about it, it can make a world of difference.
ž Apologize for your part in the conflict. More often than not everyone involved has done something to create and prolong the conflict.
