My cousin is a freshmen in college, ambitious & wants to find an internship this summer. All she can find is for juniors / sophomores. I’m removed from the process, what’s the best way to do this with 0 work experience? Unpaid is apparently illegal now in CA....

People aren’t even hiring juniors/seniors rn. Tell her to take a class this summer so she can graduate early

How does someone get all the way to college with no work experience? Tell her to get some kind of actual job this summer. Like fast food, or office temping, something to show she actually knows how to work.

I'm with you D2. Jobs at all levels are really helpful. I would rather hire someone that dished I've cream, pounded nails, roofed houses than someone that just volunteered at an animal shelter 12 hours a week.

Nothing against volunteering, but people don't get fired for being late or under delivering.

Many companies are cutting their internship programs this summer because of covid. She’s going to have a really tough time finding one and I’d recommend doing volunteer work instead.

Volunteer as in for non-profits? Or do you mean volunteer in a business role/lens?

Find a relative or a neighbor and have her work for them - especially if this summer is WFH.

Thanks everyone for the responses! Spoke with her and she’s feeling a lot more confident about how best to make use of her summer. Cheers!

What does she do?

Internships are getting crushed. Just browse LinkedIn and apply to everything

@Google she is a business administration major at a UC. Willing & capable of learning advanced excel, Tableau, SQL, etc if required🙃

This is a huge ask-I can’t imagine reaching out to someone randomly as a freshman asking for 30 min a week to mentor. I think that may be a step too far and it wouldn’t be a good use of their time.

Resume/LinkedIn question:

I am a senior student graduating in a couple of months. I am going to join Google this fall as a SWE. My previous work experience includes an internship at Google, and a summer spent working on open source (PostgreSQL) during Google Summer of Code. In addition to a lot of college coursework projects (CE major). Most of these projects are worth mentioning and they cover a diverse range of fields.

At what point should I drop coursework projects from my Resume/LinkedIn?

Hi Fellow Fishes! I need some urgent advice. I had accepted a job offer at a really good company with a good role and team. I am due to start that new job on Monday 30th Aug. Now the thing is I have a better job offer from one of my dream companies-i would be really stupid not to take that offer. So I would be declining the job at the first company just 2 days before i am supposed to start! I know its a good problem to have but a very unpleasant conversation with them. How do i soften the blow?
