    "content": "Interns will be expected to abide by the rules and regulations of the Public Service institution that will have recruited them. They will also be expected to demonstrate commitment and willingness to fully and actively participate in the learning experiences of the internship programmes. They will also be ready to be deployed to any relevant office or workstation within the Public Service institution where there may be an internship vacancy. An intern has to make an effort to acquire relevant skills in the area of specialisation. I also call upon the interns who are given those opportunities not to just go through them because it is a requirement. When I was recruited as an intern at KBC, I told myself that I would not leave without a job. I would do my work so well that even when my internship was done, those who worked there would see that I was valuable. That is what I did. I worked so hard. When the journalists came in at 6.30 a.m. or 7.00 a.m., I was always there. When other journalists were late, I would be given their slots to go to the field because interns always accompanied journalists to the field. At times, when there were no journalists to be sent out, I would instead be sent out. Instead of leaving at 4.00 p.m. or 5.00 p.m. or even 3.00 p.m. when there was no work and we were lazing around, I would always stay until the 7.00 p.m. news had started. There would be breaking news at about 6.00 p.m. or 6.30 p.m. and when the editors walked into the newsroom, they would always find me there. I would then be sent for that assignment. I slowly gained experience and got to learn. My message to the interns is that even if they are given the smallest job, they should do it to perfection. Learn more and ask questions until when a vacancy appears in the institution, the management in that institution remembers you. Interns should make a mark in any institution where they go for internship so that others can see the value they add to that institution or organisation. It will open doors for them when the time comes."
