Hi there,

I’m having a hard time convincing agencies that my internship experience at the beginning of my career was more than your average person. I won two awards from PR Daily for campaigns I drove, worked 4 full years of internships at 4 companies. First job after grad I transitioned into being Head of Global Social media for a 10k employee company. Proceeded to freelance after being laid off. But they only want to count my 4 years post college as experience. Any advice?

Is there a way to get some information if my candidature is still in progress or is this delay natural? I have another offer from another company, but am more interested in joining Mindtree.
