This policy encompasses instances when Parker Dewey is informed - either via the platform feedback form, or directly by a client - that a Micro-Intern has not performed satisfactorily. Please note that Parker Dewey works closely with clients to ensure Micro-Internships are scoped to require the skills of a college student or recent graduate, with performance expectations appropriate for that level. 

Because Micro-Internships are often learning experiences, that student or recent graduate will be offered support and permitted to continue to use the Parker Dewey platform after the first such instance. However, repeated poor performance can reflect negatively on other students and recent graduates. As such, if a Micro-Intern is found to have performed significantly below expectations a second time, that student or recent graduate’s Parker Dewey account will be deactivated. An account may be reactivated upon request based upon the specific situation. Parker Dewey retains the right to enforce this policy on a case-by-case basis if unique circumstances exist.

Violations of Parker Dewey’s Terms of Service will result in immediate account deactivation, even for a first offense.

 

Ghosting Policy

If a Micro-Intern “ghosts” (does not respond to) a Parker Dewey client more than once, the selected Micro-Intern will be removed from the Parker Dewey platform. 

To be clear, this policy is intended for situations in which a Micro-Intern does not respond to Parker Dewey or the client without notice. If a Micro-Intern is selected for a project and is unable to begin or complete it, Parker Dewey can help navigate the situation; however, this needs to be communicated to Parker Dewey immediately. Parker Dewey retains the right to enforce this policy on a case-by-case basis if unique circumstances exist.

 

Artificial Intelligence Policy 

Micro-Internships are designed to help you demonstrate your own skills, judgment, communication, and problem-solving ability. Unless the client specifically allows or asks for AI use, you may not use AI tools to complete the work for you or submit AI-generated work as your own.

You may use AI to support your processes (e.g., brainstorm, organize your thoughts, proofread, or edit for clarity, etc.), but your application responses and project deliverables must reflect your own analysis and work. You are responsible for checking the accuracy and quality of anything you submit. If you use AI at any point, disclose it by naming the tool and explaining how you used it. Misuse of AI may result in your removal from the Micro-Internship without pay and / or your removal from the Parker Dewey platform.
