Currently an intern. Internship ends in early August. Not sure if I’ll be hired on, mostly due to lack of work and structure. When is an appropriate time to start applying to jobs?

You should look now. Usually there is an indication that they are willing to hire you before your internship. You can ask to be freelance until a spot opens up.

I think there’s a chance and I’m not sure if this early in my career is the time to be picky but I’m not sure I want to stay on if it’s offered. I’ll start looking after the holiday

Apply apply apply now! If anything you can use an offer elsewhere to help swing one at your current place (though it sounds like maybe you wouldn’t want to stay). I bounced around as an intern at a couple places before landing a FT job, so it’s never a guarantee.

Definitely not out of the question to get hired out of an internship, but definitely check the career pages of other places you’re interested in. Agency roles typically pop up quickly can get swiped up just as fast - apply apply apply!!!!!!

Now. Even if they offer to hire you, they might low ball you and having a second offer can either force their hand, or you can thank them for the experience and leave gracefully

I hired a summer intern last year as a junior and they're amazing! Continue to dazzle, start looking, and best of luck!

Is it out of the realm of possibility to be hired on as a junior after an internship?

No. I arrived in NYC from PA out of college for a summer internship at a large agency. I got in before everyone, I left last. I introduced myself to everyone I could. Always asked what more I could do. Fortunately they landed a big account and I was lucky to be hired as a jr cw. I didn’t have a portfolio and it was the break I needed.

Apply now. There or elsewhere What city are u looking in?

Chicago

Are you out of school? Otherwise if you’re going back don’t bother

I have a Bachelors and attended portfolio school. I am done with school

Hey intern- set alerts so u see roles opening; be early in applying, not late once HR is exhausted. My POV your selling point is actually your lack of experience & age. For Finance you’re a blip on the staff plan $ which is good. It’s a privilege to learn in these dynamic shops & then move up.

You’ll quickly learn that in this industry it’s never a bad time for applying

Is it "deep tech" / "data science" or "smart enterprise" that they're doing? Any advice welcome.
