There’s a very real possibility that I’ll be doing another internship this summer. I won’t say who it’s with to avoid jinxing it, but I think it will be a better experience than my previous one. Not that I didn’t like my first internship, but I think this company will be a better fit, plus other things like it being over the summer and thus not messing up any classes or financial aid or anything.
One weird thing I noticed is that this company has a LOT of internship openings in the areas that I’m interested in but only a few regular openings, and those are for recent college graduates specifically (and also not in technical areas). I don’t know if it’s more of a case of mostly hiring in other countries or basically requiring people to come in through the internship program or what, but I guess it bodes well for me if I do get an internship there.
Good luck yo. Where is it?
I’ll tell you later. I will say that in the phone interview the guy basically said “I would say you have the position right now but we will need to look at your academic transcript”. He thought my GPA was a bit low.
Argh, I hope those youthful indiscretions don’t come back to haunt me.
I’mm new to your blog… I take it this is a computer science internship?
Yup, definitely computer sciencesque, though I’m trying to steer it in a direction that also justifies my new media communications BA. I won’t know how successful that has been for at least a little while.
