I’m about halfway through my first internship and I’m having trouble landing another one. For reference, I graduated last June and I just got my first internship offer in January. Looking through postings online, it looks like half the internships posted are for students only. I feel a bit stuck, and would like some advice.

(I’m contemplating going back to school, applying for junior level positions instead of internships, etc.)

why aren't you putting in more effort to applying to junior level positions? if you graduated you should be looking for a full time role

Honestly I don't think that really matters. My internship wasn't even relevant to what I do and didn't impact my ability to get a job! I graduated 6 years ago. I would definitely take that recruiters advice with a grain of salt

Apply to both internships and junior level positions.

Job postings aren’t gospel. You can still apply if it says they’re looking for students, an internship is an internship.

I probably emailed and messaged between 300-500 agency people once i completed my internship to get a jr position. It took 7 months and I had to remake my book because it was okay but not bulletproof. Is everything in your book great? Are you willing to relocate anywhere? Because that’s what it takes.

Apply for junior level. Your experience during school counts as experience. Read listings as the company’s “wishlist.”

Sell yourself into a jr role. Network, show up to industry events - agencies and production companies host them. I got a role without an internship some years ago. It’s very possible.

I thought I saw an Anomaly link to an intern program, I glanced briefly, (was helping a friend research), & didn’t get the impression one must be a student.
That said, why can’t you start applying for junior roles? I’d do that instead, (if you’re no longer in school).

You should be trying to turn your current internship into a job.

What you should do when dealing with a very toxic worker that keep on sending passive aggressive messages to you as well as in group chat and email.
Things like when you answer his question he respond: I know that
Or when he keeps on saying my change requests were just minor in group meeting but actually not.
And keep on saying how hard he works when he clearly wasn’t and already underperformed compared to an intern level.

How to not let this toxic co-worker not poison me any further?
