I recently interviewed for an internship position at J&J. When I was initially approached for this role, HR specifically mentioned that I could expect only one interview (30 minutes) for this role which I had a while ago. The HR was present in the interview along with two other interviewers and asked me her share of questions. I think I did fine overall. She recently sent me a 20-minute video call invitation (stated as a follow-up call) without mentioning any specific details. So what does this follow-up video call mean? Would this be an interview or a general call? Would they possibly reject me in a video call?

Is it normal to do nothing at an internship? I feel like I sit there each day, and even tho I ask for tasks, they don’t take very long. I also feel like I’m kinda forgotten about- even though I try to reach out and be friendly. Is this normal?

Wondering if anyon3 has heard anything back from Sonys summer traniee program. My application status still says in progress, last week they closed off the application process. Looking to see if anyone has any information or heard back from them yet?

Hi guys, I need some advice. I recently received an offer from a company for a 13 week internship. It starts one week after my school ends and ends right before the school year starts. My family planned a 2 week vacation. How do you think I should approach this situation. Should I be transparent with the recruiter (though I dont want to lose my offer!)? Should I ask if I can start a week early so that I only miss out one week? What do yall think

I‘m in my 3. Semester of economics and I want to get my first internship. I’m from Germany but I would prefer an internship at a non German company preferably remotely. Are there any options available or do I have to look for one in my area?

My internship asked me what my pay expectations are how should I respond?

I’ve basically been applying for internships all of last year and this year for the summers of 2023 and 2024. I didn’t get one for last summer after my sophomore year, and I haven’t gotten one for this summer.

For context, I’m a glorified film major with minors in marcom and studio art, and I’ve been applying to many film and marketing internships. I’ve had campus jobs where I’ve gained experience in both, and always only apply to positions I’m qualified for.

My issues is that I get the interview, but I never make it to the second round. In both years combined, I’ve made it to the second round twice with no offers from either. I know I’m a quieter person who isn’t as energetic as others, but what am I doing wrong? I feel like I’m saying all the right things, yet I’m getting nowhere, and I’m not planning on changing my personality for a job.

If anyone has any ideas or suggestions I’m open to anything, I’m pretty desperate at this point lol. Thanks for reading :)

I have an interview for Microsoft after 5 days is somebody free to have a mock interview with him? or got any suggestions where can I find someone can help me with that?

I applied for the NBCU News Group Technology internship (the digital creative design/UX role) and received an invitation to complete a video interview. This is my first time applying for NBCU and would like to know if anyone has any advice. How can I best prepare for the interview and what kinds of questions do they usually ask? Thanks in advance!

Two problems. Main issue is basically summed up in the title. I applied for 3 internships in one company and I received an email asking to complete a one way interview. But the role was not any of the roles I applied for. I’m trying to find the role they emailed me about on the website but I can’t find it there either.

Another thing, I’m on my spring break and did not take my laptop with me. I don’t think I’ll make it back before the deadline and I cannot find anyone to contact to ask for an extension because the email address is a DoNotReply address.

If this is a mistake on their end I really do not want to stress over this while on vacation. Ugh why aren’t there any humans in the job applications’ interview process anymore.

Hi stressing rn cus I have to respond tonight. I applied to KPMG for an auditing internship as well as an architecture/graphic design internship for this summer. I just got an accepted to both of them and I have to decide respond TOMORROW with my start date and IDK WHAT TO DO.

Im currently in my first year of a Costume design BA and which Ik is unrelated to either internship but I had applied way back when I was not sure which career path I wanted to take, and realistically I didn’t really want to do audit but my parents wanted me to. I did really put in the work and all to get this internship and I know that there are others who would love this opportunity. Whereas for the architecture one was more of a “I’m not gonna get it anyways no harm in applying” kinda thing.

Do u think I would be wasting an opportunity if I don’t take the kpmg internship or do u think it’s worth doing the architecture one cus it’s more in relation to my career? Thanks for reading ANY input is welcome, I would be grateful.

Hey! I am a rising junior at Georgetown University and was offered an internship in NYC (I plan to be there from June 3rd to August 16). Is there some housing groupme, or do you know people looking to sublet? Any help is appreciated. Thanks y'all

I want to apply for a NASA internship as a junior (or senior, will apply next yr too) but i'm not sure if it's worth it to try or what they are looking for specifically.

A lot of their internships aren't just for high schoolers and I find no reason why they would ever pick a high schooler over a college student. Do they ever actually accept high schoolers?

Also what are they looking for. I spoke with a few NASA employees and recruiters and they all told me that they look that you're passionate for it. Like building a rocket in your garage or something. I feel like I have a few to show for it but not enough. Please give any tips on how to improve my applications and chances!! Here are some of my current ECs and stats:

4.0 UW gpa, all A and A+ grades and am ranked 10 of 500 students as well as going to an academy for engineering part time for school.

Virginia Space Coast Scholar (plus got into and did the summer academy at NASA)

Virginia Aerospace Science and Technology scholar (plus got into the summer academy at nasa and will go this summer)

President and founder for 3 years of my schools aerospace club

Won 2nd place and names most innovative solution at the national air and space museum hackathon

Built a clinostat at home to test the effects of microgravity on kelp growth and nutrition to see kelps effectiveness to be used in space

(some more clubs and stuff that aren't mainly aerospace based)

I'm studying general management at Purdue and I've been applying for internships all semester with no luck. I'm only in semester 4, but I had so much college credit that I'll be graduating next semester, making this my last chance to get an internship before I enter the job market for real.

With that said, a representative from Primerica reached out to me. We talked a bit and I've essentially been offered an "internship." The whole process seemed weird (reached out to me, never mentioned who he worked for until I asked, no hourly pay, never asked for a resume, etc.) so I took to the internet to figure out what was going on, and it seems like a pseudo-scam MLM company and that having it on your resume is useless.

I'd drop it if I had any other internship secured, but that's looking increasingly unlikely as the summer approaches.

So, from a purely experience and resume building perspective (money/pay isn't an issue), is it worth continuing with Primerica or would I be better off doing nothing or getting a fast food job?

Would anyone w leetcode premium be able to show me the tagged problems for Spotify? I’d like to prepare for a potential interview soon.. THANK YOU!

Hello,

I’m a philosophy and sociology student from the Gulf, and I have received 2 internship offers:

1. From the sovereign wealth fund of my country apart of the social affairs/project management team.

2. A prestigious social science fellowship at a BIG name university.

Now the thing is, I want to graduate and eventually pursue a Masters of Philosophy in Middle Eastern Studies and then a PhD ( hopefully at Oxford.)

I don’t know which one is better in the long term, I can’t do both because I literally do not have enough weeks during my summer break. I know research experience is prioritized for research degrees, but working at the sovereign wealth fund will open so many doors for me in the future.

What should I do?

For context, I’ve previously interned as a research intern at a think tank and have experience as an undergraduate research assistant at my own university.

I am a pre-final year student doing my Bachelor's from IIT. I have been looking for an internship this summer in any data role such as analytics, machine learning and data science. Applied for different openings and position,I've got till different rounds of interview for companies like HUL, Amazon and Goldman Sachs. I have also worked in startup environment and have been networking and collaborating with entrepreneurs across nation as I'm volunteering as Branding Manager of Entrepreneurship Cell of my college. Any lead/opportunities are really appreciated! (Open to discuss further in detail on DM) THANK YOU!!

I want to start with a bit of a background, I am quite a proficient programmer and I have a solid knowledge over 5+ languages with a near mastery over java. I already have an internship in a large company in the US. But I would love a CS specific internship to add to my resume for college applications, for reference I am a high school Junior.

I would welcome any opportunity with a good company and I have a solid resume for applying (Standard 4.00 and really impressive Extracurriculars) I also got a 5 on the APSCA exam, which can also classify as a qualification. I would love to hear from anyone who is in my situation with time running out. I would also welcome a fall internship if possible with summer being preferable. I know I am significantly late to this process but I was wondering how I could go about finding internships (paid or unpaid) in CS. How would I find listings, for example. I have been doing some searching in depth and am struggling to find any listings. Any help would be greatly appreciated <3

Thank You.

Start interning this summer at a company I really want to work full time for post-grad so I’d like to network so they like me, and they’re giving me a whole hour (unpaid) for lunch. I need examples of how to ask my fellow coworkers or interns to lunch. Either through email or in person. When should I ask, how do I say it, to how many people or who…

The best I’ve come up with is “Hi Name, are you doing anything for lunch? Mind if I join you today?”

Little scared because what if my coworkers don’t take an hour, or they take lunch at a different time, or they straight up say no?

Any and all examples of ways I can phrase it would be great.

To those that actually got these types of desirable internships, can you list and rank what attributes you think got you the internships. Or if you interviewed but not hired, what was cause you think they passed on you.

Connection/Alumni

Prestige of your current college/Target School.

GPA/classes you completed.

Interview just went really well.

Quality of your resume...past intern experience.

Add any other I missed.

​

Thanx upfront.

Hello everyone,

I've received an official email from my employer confirming my placement, but I haven't yet been asked to complete my I-9 form. Could anyone share the typical timeline for submitting the I-9 if a summer internship begins at the end of May?

Thank you!

Hi, I applied for this internship as a student teacher/teacher cadet at my former middle school. There are 5 different ones (one for each subject) and I applied for 3 because the VP said it was ok and that I would have to choose after. Each application is to be emailed to the specific teacher point of contact. Well, on Friday my friend got an email from the teacher she wanted to work under, saying she got accepted for the one she applied for and to confirm availability (I didn't apply for that one)

I didn't get any response from anyone. I decided to look over my application-- for days and times available to work, I put "Should be available all of June. Cannot do July 8-12." This is supposed to be for their summer school program which runs from 6/4-7/2, 8:30-12:30. I cannot do 7/8-7/12 but the position ended already, which is good. I don't know if this was good to put or not. All the summer school dates were given after application deadline, which was questionable.

The VP told me that there will be interviews for multiple applicants for a single position.

I did not receive any offers for the jobs I applied for. I don't want to waste my summer. What can I do to improve my resume during the summer? Any advice? (I’m a sophomore engineering student btw)

Thank you!!

Hi I am currently in 3rd year . I don't have any particular skills but I do know basic frontend and stuff. This summer vacation I am thinking about learning ui/ux design enough to make a littoe earning through internships, but the question is is it practical? I mean I know the basics of figma and stuff I have minor internship in a startup as a frontend developer, I did a pretty good job , it was using react js . So is it practical for me to think that I can learn ui ux within 1 month and get a internship that will pay me a little. Apart from the earning I also wnat to learn a new skill so it's a win win . But is it possible to do ui ux in a month .

Hi all!

So I got kinda two things to ask. Firstly, I did an interview on Wednesday, when do I expect to hear back as I am pretty much losing hope I didn’t hear on Friday lol?

Also, the interview was sooo short the interviewer told me “you covered all the points, I don’t think I need to ask anymore”. Realistically, should I think I have a chance or am I reading too much into everything?

I am a compsci major in my junior year. I have a GPA of 2.9, and we need to do an internship in software engineering or something within our domain this year as a degree requirement. I want to do a remote internship outside of my country but so far I havent been very successful to find them. Please guide me as to what to do.

Anyone did or is planning to product manager intern at Zscaler or Informatica?

How was the experience?

What factors should I consider to select or reject?

Which one has a higher change of converting to FT roles post MBA?

I feel like a failure because I can't land a paid internship as a freshman at a T50 school with a 3.9 GPA in business. Now, everybody keeps telling me not to worry because employers don't care about freshman summer, but literally everyone I know who wants one is landing F500 internships and I'm not.

Same as title

Hi There, I've posted here before about my struggles with acquiring an internship. I am still applying and had a question about applying to one company that has multiple positions available which I wanted to apply for. It is all IT related and i do believe would be good for all of them, I was going to switch up my resumes for each one so I could be a better "fit" for all the positions available. Do you think this is a good idea? What should i do differently?
