I'm a intern at a place for about 8 months now where i was told i would be hired in a few months in engineering. I don't file or anything. I run actual test on products from clients ,create the samples from the products sometimes, record data, mark the samples , take out the trash, and clean up. I preety much do alot of the work but the typing up which only the head does. I have not been paid and it seems my boss actually had no plans to hire me from what i've overheard even though he hired the last intern a yr ago in a month. He eventually changed his mind from hiring me to giving me a giftcard on christmas the day somebody asked him to get me a salary. I don't think he wants to hire me even if i've proved that i'm willing to work really hard and get the job done and know how to do it. A few people have asked to see if i was getting a salary but he stays firm on not doing it. I make 0 dollars and work double the hours i was suppose to do for my internship program and then some. There are so many companies though that are willing to pay engineering interns to run test and other lab procedures were i live . It's finally started to bother me i don't really like it anymore. I was a very motivated worker I can't quit cause i have to finish my credit.It was like i got job training and then went to work but for no pay. I haven't learned much other then how to run machines and what their for.If theres a new product that comes in that i haven't tested i'll get the run down and without 2 little examples i have the job down. Now that it is coming to a close i've started to reflect back and realize i did double the hours i needed to and nothing happened. It got in the way of stuff for no reason that i had to do at school.
