I graduated in 2008 into a worse economic environment (virus aside). I took every unpaid internship I could get, moved back home, and lived off of the $20/week allowance my dad gave me. I did well at the internship and they hired me. A year later, I went to grad school. It’s rough, but you will make it through. Grad school, internships, and side hustles are your friend.

This is good. Thank you. I graduated last December and all my friends graduating in May are struggling to secure jobs.

Well they should complain to their career centers for one. Employers should be much more thoughtful about that. And the career centers should be able to help them with a Plan B.

Well they’re not 🤷🏼‍♀️

Why are they being rescinded? Because of coronavirus nonsense?

Yes

Which firms are rescinding offers?

Smaller firms/companies are doing it. One of my friends interviewing with AFS was put on a “hold”.

We have a project that would generate social impact, and our short term goal is to propose it to ASHOKA to help us develop it.

Any kind of feedback or volunteer would be appreciated.
