What do you do if you're a senior in college and you still don't know what you want to do with your degree?
I have a bachelor's of science degree in psychology. I'm pretty hesitant about getting my masters for a couple of reasons. For one, I don't know what I want. And two, it's really expensive. I've looked at a lot of jobs, but nothing in this field is really catching my eye. I love to do research and would love to work as a lab assistant. #psychology #internships #clinical-psychology #internship #hospital #life-coach #clinical-research
How do I prepare for interview for an Intership?
I am a junior in college have been applying to summer internships and recently heard back from one that I am very interested in. They want to schedule an interview. I have never had an internship and while I am not under qualified, I'm sure there will be applicants with more experience. That being said, I am confident that I have what it takes to contribute meaningfully as an intern, but I think a convincing interview would really help. The interview may be over skype or in person, not sure if that changes anything. I also don't have a lot of businessy clothes so I will have to go shopping for those and honestly don't where to start as far as what to wear to an interview for an internship with a senator. Any thoughts? I know generally what sort of questions to expect, but I'd like to hear from people who have experienced it. Any questions I should give more thought to? are there nay standard questions? How different is it from a job interview? (I know it depends on the job but generally speaking) Are there any things that I should not mention? #college #career #internships #career-path #interviews #interviewing-skills #summer-internship #confidence

Does a lack of summer internship threaten you're success in applications after graduation?
A summer internship during college is highly coveted but obtaining one is highly competitive and very difficult.

When employers list a specific GPA requirement, is it final?
I ask this because I am a electrical engineering major and I don't have a 3.0 GPA, which seems to be the threshold for most companies looking to hire college students. I would like to apply for most companies but I do not meet this requirement. I want to note that I usually don't meet this requirement and about two or three more, an my GPA is not even close to a 3.0. Does this requirement automatically disqualify me from the position or should I apply regardless of my GPA? Thank you. #computer-science #internships #tech #entry-level #java

I have a few interviews coming up in the following two weeks, and I'm not entirely sure what I should wear to it.

How valuable are internships, really?
I have the opportunity to be an intern at the Cleveland Clinic - a Laboratory Medicine internship. I'm hoping to someday be either a Geneticist or a Research Scientist in Biology, so you can see how this internship is relevant. Also, I hope to go to Case Western Reserve University, so this internship could open many doors for me. The problem I have, though, is transportation. I do not have my license yet, and as one of a large family, my mom is unable to drive me around sometimes, because of the needs of many younger siblings. So I wonder: Is this internship worth it? If it would be a hassle to get there and back? Or is it maybe not of such importance - something I could do without? I'm very unsure and welcome any and all feedback! #internships #student #first-job
