Hi there,
I’m sorry to hear that your internship experience of working at JustWears wasn’t positive.
"Hire for attitude. Train for aptitude" is the core value at JustWears. We set up this short-term internship program to help undergraduates explore career direction and experience startups' life. We try to tailor the scope of works based on an individual's interest, long term ambitions, and the company's current needs. While most of the interns had great learning experiences during their time at JustWears, we are sorry to hear that you didn't learn anything. This must be frustrating.
Clarity and stability are something startups can rarely offer. On this point, I can understand your upset. Now we’ve understood that we look for self-starters with startup hunger, being open, ready, and inspired by change, we've made it more clear at the interview stage. Thank you for helping us improve better.
As a young startup, in just under 2.5 years, we have achieved significant milestones with a small team. We wouldn't get here if without everyone's commitment, strong execution, and collaboration. For that, we always hold our sincerest appreciation to our team, who talk a lot, but do a lot too. ❤️
We believe feedback and transparency are the only possible way to make a change - we can’t overcome them if not surfacing issues. That's why it is important t ous to have regular 121 feedback reviews. I’m disappointed that none of this was raised during your time at JustWears when we might have been able to learn more from this.
Fundamentally, running a business we will have to make the best decision on whom to work with. We understand it could be harsh and emotional to terminate an internship earlier than your plan. We heard your feedback and will continuously work on making JustWears the best working place for the right fit.
I'd be very open in discussing any of this with you in person - please feel free to reach out to me directly, the door is always open.
