What are some ways that have helped you while working at home?
I have had multiple work-from-home internships, and it just didn't sit right with me. I want to work onsite where I can see the people, body language, and all that. Even though working from home provided comfort without the commuting, dressing up, and the hassle of getting on time. I just can't help working soon in a remote setting. For those working at home, how do you survive it?

Should I volunteer or should I get a job?
I am a junior in high school interested in psychology, criminal justice, art, and history. I am not sure which one in particular to be honest, but I'm not sure whether I should be seeking volunteer hours, a job, or an internship. I already am in some honors societies (NAHS & NHS) which I get volunteer hours for as well as I'm president of my D&D club. I have also been an intern for a summer camp this summer. Also, if so...could you recommend some good job/volunteer/internships in the triangle area of NC! Thanks so much! (EDIT: This question has been answered! Thanks so much for all the advice to everyone who gave it.)
How can I get into musical theatre as a performer? Where should I look into for career paths?
It's started to be clearer to me that I want to work in the media/entertainment/theatre area, so I'm moving away from sports since it wasn't a passion. I was never involved in sports; I was a once in a while viewer. I'm currently a PR intern and stage management intern, I'm enjoying what Ive gotten to learn and the hands-on opportunity that I've been given. It is a bit of writing though, so it's not terrible. But, I also want to go back into singing and music, specifically in musical theatre. I want to be a performer, but where do I even start? I've never done acting or dance and I'm a little rusty after not having choir class for 2 years now. I plan on finishing my communications degree since I'm graduating a semester early. I've looked into the institute of American musical theatre, but I would need an audition for dance and acting. Should I go for a program or outside classes that offer all three components. I'm debating trying to apply for the page program at nbc after I graduate or other companies with a page program. I have a semester and a half left, so I plan getting involved in clubs and hopefully getting an internship with a media/entertainment company, although I'm not the best at cover letters.
What do you do on the first day of your job or internship?
Hello! I am still unemployed and still have a couple of questions in my mind. I am reflecting on my previous experiences, and I notice that I have difficulty doing or starting the tasks assigned to me if I do not know the full plan of the project. Situation#1: Manager gives me tasks like benchmark this and that, create a research plan with this. (usual) Situation#2: There is a full meeting talking about the project. Still clueless about the systems and how the management is run. It is like, how do I approach work in the company that I'm new to? It seems that I need an orientation of the department, like some readings on how the business works, the goals, and how projects work. I did coffee chats but they seem to give me different answers or the "it is what it is". It is like I need to understand all that first to fully immerse myself in the work.
What internship/program opportunities are for high schoolers interested in Architecture?
Hello! I'm a rising junior in high school interested in pursuing architecture. I was wondering if there are any internship opportunities for me related to architecture or arts in general, particularly NJ based or virtual. If not, are there any free programs related to art/architecture that could help me get into a T20 college in the future? Any other advice would also help. I have done shadowing in an architecture firm in the past, but it is too far away from me to continue. I also have multiple leadership positions in school, I have done a paid internship for my township yet it isn't related to architecture, and I have begun developing my portfolio for college.
I'm very dedicated to having a career in the FBI as a special agent. I plan to apply for the Honors Internship Program in February of 2027. What would make me more competitive?
I want to start as a Counterterrorism Intelligence Analyst during my internship. (Or something alike) I'm a Criminal Justice Major, and I plan to minor in law, political science, or international studies. (I'm undecided which would be best) When I apply, I'll have a strong foundation of Arabic (B1) and French (B2), and have a strong GPA. (3.8-4.0) However, I want to know what minors or majors I should consider the most, and what else can I do to make me a strong internship candidate? Ex: Research, study abroad, certifications, etc.
What is the fastest way to get leadership roles/recognitions under 2 months?
I need 5 recognitions and 5 leadership roles for an application I've been eyeing for an MBA. What I can only do is volunteer in orgs for social media or anything they are in need of help. I am not in uni anymore. What can I do? How can I reframe this? Will anyone be willing to review my resume or career history? Does the recommendation letter person's "authority/title" matter? Also, currently actively seeking internships first before before jobs because I lack the experience and practical skillset. But I feel like I'm lowballing myself, considering I do have some experience, but it seems that the " unpaid internship" is too heavy for one person (marketing + analytics).
I have graduated! What now?

How to find your style?
I found out, as I had my dream internship, that I am really not the creative type. I can't formulate creative and innovative ideas. Everything seems to be benchmarked or derived from someone else's formula. I am too traditional. My eye for design is proper and pleasing to the eye. Somehow bland and strict and not sassy and popping colours or the genZ way.

I am lost. How to find alignment with what you want?
I have goals and dreams before graduation, and I should have a job offer. Here I am two weeks before graduation, in a rut. I have my ultimate dream internship.

I want to do a lot of things but still stuck of what feels true to me at the moment.

How do I balance internships with other higher paying jobs?
I know getting an internship is necessary, but how should I balance that with a high paying former job? I need the work experience of the internship but also the money from the other job. If I don't get a ton of scholarships or grants, I will definitely need the money. Also, should I get a job or side hustle while I am at school?
