The Great Divide: Two Interns, Two Extremes​

In our department, interns Xiaojiao and Xiaomo are living proof of the intern spectrum. A is the ultimate go-getter. She’s at her desk before most full-timers, reviewing notes and planning her day. Extra tasks? “I’ll give it a shot!” is her mantra. When handed a tedious data project, she didn’t just complete it—she added her own analysis, impressing the boss. And she’s often the last to leave, eager to learn more. B ? His vibe is totally different. He strolls in right at start time—or later. Phone in hand, social media scrolling before work begins. The clock hits 5 PM? He’s out the door, no overtime for him. It’s fascinating—and a bit extreme—how differently they approach their roles. #InternLife #WorkEthic #OfficeDynamics #Productivity #CareerStarts #TeamVibes
