Fall senior year

like

Depending on your major, most companies recruit seniors for full time positions in the fall and winter. Junior get recruited for summer internships in the fall and winter of their junior year. Check to see when UH has career fairs and other opportunities.

Fall senior year. If it's not too late I hope you've locked in internship in the summer before senior year

I currently work full-time and also have a part-time job. So internships aren’t something I can really do.

Finances

Freshman year of college

The issue for me is that I can’t just get any internship. I can’t leave my full time job for an internship and hope that my job will still be there for me. My part time job, maybe, but not my full time job and risk losing my health insurance and my tuition reimbursement benefits.

Do the math. How much tuition reimbursement are you getting now and how much of a cut would it be to get an internship / co-op? How much more would you likely make after graduating and in the long run from having that relevant experience?

College shouldn’t be something you just check the box on. Invest to make sure you get the right ROI out of it.

Focus on securing internships during freshmen-junior year. Typically, this is a pipeline for full-time positions. Drop the part time position, this will probably pay 2x. Anyways, you apply for jobs from beginning to end of senior year. The sooner, the better.

I’ve been interviewing at an agency with the intention of filling a Director role.

Recruitment can’t tell me what feedback is creating this gap but also won’t stop mentioning the positive praise and feedback the team had for me.

Hello everyone,

I had my second technical interview two weeks ago and I had emailed the recruiter to check for any progress on my application. I just received an email saying they want to talk to me over call.
