Not learning at my internship, should I quit?

Asked by chelle21689 (7907points) November 5th, 2013 from iPhone

As some of you know I’ve taken an HR internship. It’s part time 20 hours/week unpaid. I’ve been trying to get into HR but due to lack of experience it has hurt my chances of a position.

Anyways this internship for the first week was great because the HR coordinator actually taught me stuff, hands on training, and I shadowed him. Not just that but he was like a good friend and knew my family and friends (asian community).
He moved ASAP and is no longer with us.

The past two weeks I’ve been under supervision of the manager of the small business. I’m left alone in the room by myself sometimes for two hours doing nothing and literally sitting there. I have learned very little if nothing at all. I mostly scan, fax, and file things. I do some work my ex trainer taught me if available but hardly.

I ask her if I can assist in anything and sometime she seems annoyed because she’s busy and just tells me to read procedures which I’ve done literally 4 times already.

I don’t know if I should stay and stick it out so it looks good on my resume or quit.
