Need advice, I’m a senior majoring in Economics with a minor in MIS. I have been applying for internships but have not had any luck! I graduate in December and I’m ver nervous to not land a job after graduation to no experience. I thought my current job would look good on my resume.

Go to the Rockwell Career Center and find a list of all the contacts for every company that directly recruits from Bauer. Reach out to every contact that was provided via LinkedIn (ensure your profile looks presentable and detailed). Additionally, ensure you’re attending every networking event hosted by MISSO or by Bauer in general. I personally received my internships and full time offers by attending these events.

Also, hindsight is 20/20 but Econ is an absolutely horrendous major at UH. Unless you’re at an Ivy League institution or another comparable college (ie. Uchicago, Duke, Stanford), your job opportunities are extremely few and far between. Focus as much as you can into leveraging your MIS background. Most of us who graduated a few years back majoring in MIS had multiple full time offers to choose from with pretty high starting salaries relative to most other majors.

You haven't already, make a Handshake account. It's a platform for college students/grads to connect with companies for job opportunities/internships. I always get recruiters reaching out about internships, job fairs, etc.

What kind of internships are you applying for?

Looking for an internship is hard and takes a lot of time. But that time does help hone your interview skills which also will help when you are searching for your post graduation job. Definitely lean on the school’s resources during your search - many companies have programs to specifically hire from schools.

Im in the same exact situation… feel ya..

Here is my idea for a startup! I collect all the data from career transitions and use Data Analytics to predict the most likely career transitions. I could start with consulting. What do you guys think about this? I would be able to predict based on your firm(mbb, big4), your experience, which role you are likely to move (Faang pm, strategy manager, move to mbb). I have all the data to do this, but wanted your thoughts. Would the output of this be relevant to you?

Ex-consultant now in marketing. Used to be an avid follower here and got great insights on companies when trying to exit consulting so thought I’d try here for advice. Outside of FAANG, what are good large CA-based tech companies that provide good pay, WLB, and culture? DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.
