I do think that any time you hire an intern, the only thing you can judge them on is vibes.

I used to be in charge of an intern program, and the thing is that you can't really select based on experience or anything, because they don't really have that. Instead, you end up asking a bunch of personality questions and trying to get a feel for if they'd be a good fit on your team.

Now, do I think "answers the phone" is a good test of that? Probably not. But then again, we used to ask people if they'd rather be a blade of grass or a doorknob, just to see what they'd say.

I guess my point is, if this was for a "real job," I'd be a little more judgy, but for an internship, I've selected people based on wilder things than "did they answer the phone."
