How well does everyone think they were prepared for the job hunt in college? My instructors barely touched on interviews and the job search. Like maybe two of my instructors mentioned panel interviews, but they didn't go into detail. It would have been nice to have had the ability to do some mock panel interviews. Those are scary as hell when you first start out.

No prep at all.

Zero prep here also. I was fortunate enough to shadow a family friend who teaches at a local school here and pick her brain a bit on the interview process, but I'm sure high school is more involved than middle school. Or so I'd imagine.

Panel interviews were a shock, but I remember doing mock interviews and even resumes in high school back in the day. There was a life planning class that was mandatory. College should have something similar, and bring in people who are actually a part of the process in the last decade or so. Too much outdated info, a lot of the time.

None at all and I wouldn't expect it to be part of my professors' duties. That would be the responsibility of the career center on campus.

Curious if anyone else is or has been in the same boat. I started as an assistant at an entertainment law firm prior to passing the bar. Upon passing, the partner told me they would hire an assistant for me since I now became an associate. That was 1.5 years ago and I am still in the limbo of juggling my own workload + doing assistant roles for my supervisors. I have also had no increase in pay, which is a huge deal for me. Is this normal in the entertainment world? Any suggestions?
