We hire interns for each semester. We try to extend the offer and keep them for 2-3 semesters if they are willing and potentially offer full time if they show promise and fit into culture. So over the last three years we have had about 7 interns working for us and I had the opportunity to mentor them. I have learned quite a lot in mentoring and guiding from the experience.
Being curious by nature, they pose questions that some times sound ridiculous but It did require me to go through the documentation to answer.
We have had very meaningful discussions through which both of us got better understanding of some concepts.
'Patience', that's one of the best lessons I learned working with Junior developers. Working with a variety of individuals helped me to understand their level and how to work with their pace. dn't
P.S: I'm not putting anyone down, most of the interns we had great potentials albeit of their less experience.
