The problem

"Different from what was advertised" needs specifics, not a feeling

An internship that quietly turns into unpaid admin work, unscheduled overtime, or nothing like the role in the listing is a common complaint — and a hard one to act on without specifics. "It wasn't what I expected" doesn't move a university placement office, a program coordinator, or a regulator. A logged record of hours actually worked against what was agreed, and tasks actually performed against what was advertised, does.

Features
  • Internship Details page to record what was actually agreed
  • Hours Worked tracker — planned vs. actual
  • Tasks Performed checklist, checked against the advertised role
  • Supervisor Log and a Problems checklist
  • Communication Log and Complaint Tracker
How it works

Step by step

  1. Download the kit (PDF or Excel version included).
  2. Fill in the Internship Details page with what was actually offered and agreed.
  3. Log hours in the Hours Worked tracker as you go — planned vs. actual, not reconstructed later.
  4. Check off Tasks Performed against the advertised role, and work through the Problems checklist.
  5. Keep the Supervisor Log and Communication Log current, and use the Complaint Tracker if you escalate.

Document the gap between promised and actual.

Hours planned vs. worked, tasks advertised vs. performed — a record that turns "this isn't what I signed up for" into something specific and actionable.
