Hey fellas,
So I am a junior trying to position myself for IBD SA in a healthcare coverage group. I took a fall finance/accounting internship @ a national non-profit health org. The job description/what I was told I would be doing was building rev reconciliation models and risk adjusted A/R's. But I am approximately a month in and literally all I have done is backroom-filing. Unrelenting, non-stop filing. I am an unpaid intern and work ~15 hrs a week; didn't sign any paperwork/formal offer letter.
A couple other opportunities came up, including leading an economic public school analysis for a private client via another non-profit, and/or a possible internship at a local boutique IB firm. In all probability, better opportunities than the one I am currently in.
A couple weeks ago (right when I got job) I updated my resume with health org and sent it out to a couple firms via OCR / networking contacts (but I still have to submit internship app thru bank's individual website). Don't necessarily need to include it due to other internships, just worried about how it would be perceived/get back to me. I am not exactly the quitting type (especially after approximately a month) but want to leverage myself well.
What would you guys do?
Just leave it off. It won't help you if they ask you about your duties there.
1.) If they're not paying you, your leaving is perfectly understandable. 2.) If it gets back to them and they ask you about this, you have the opportunity to say "Pay me!" or "give me more relevant work- I'm doing this for free."
thanks guys. So consensus is leaving after a month for "greener pastures" would be perfectly understandable?
