#InternshipWoes #JobSeekingStruggles
Hey everyone! So I’ve been feeling super frustrated lately because I just can’t seem to land an internship 🤦♀️ It’s like all the opportunities out there are either super competitive or require experience that I don’t have yet. But fear not, I’ve done some research and come up with a few possible solutions that might help not just me, but all of us facing the same struggle:
– Networking is key! Reach out to professionals in your desired field via LinkedIn or other networking events to see if they have any leads or advice
– Consider volunteering or freelancing to gain relevant experience and skills
– Apply to smaller or lesser-known companies where there may be less competition
– Utilize your university’s career services or alumni network for potential leads
– Don’t forget to tailor your resume and cover letter to each internship application to make yourself stand out 📝💼
What do you guys think? Any other tips or advice for those of us struggling to secure an internship? Let’s help each other out! 💪 #InternshipHunt #CareerAdvice
One page, increase indent on both sides to achieve that. Combine skills into 1 thing, don’t need soft skills or professional or technical. Just combine into skills and add “interests” if You want to be unique on the bottom
Use WSO standard template. Experience/project/clubs should all be under one title as experience. One page. Delete summary up top. Should be education- experience- skills.
Might want to adjust which type of internships you’re applying to given state school and bad GPA combo, just being real.
When we hire candidates, we don’t usually see summaries. We are in the insurance space.
Just because summaries are trendy, doesn’t mean they’re effective. You’re not getting internships because you have a low GPA and no relevant on campus involvement.
It should be a violation of intergalactic law for anyone under 30 to have over a page.
Financial Data Analyst. I understand that it’s the role you’re seeking, but you’re giving the impression that it’s your current role. Lose the summary. Make sure that the rest of your CV, supports your hunt for a finance data position, so lose the custodian entry unless it creates a gap, if so adjust the wording to relate it with finance/data, something like your sense responsibility and eye for detail.
Try accounting and applying through RobertHalf to get your foot in the door
What roles are you trying to break into?
If your trying for high finance this resume won’t do. Your professional experiences are really unrelated and you need to show more interest in the roles your applying to. I would recommend taking out the summary, use a more standard CV template (a bunch online, can even look into ivy league CV templates), take out the soft skills, your GPA is quite low for any of the big firms so start with smaller firms. Also for already going into a masters you are lacking quality experience and leadership.
Sorry man but I would try and pivot to another career path if I were you or network like crazy. If its a big state school, you might have a large alumni base who might be able to help.
I’d consider taking the GPA off of there. Finance jobs may be tough to get with that gpa generally.
It is rough right now. I just graduated. Having hard time finding a job.
One page. Remove summary. Remove GPA
just get rid of any professional experience less than one year in length and not related to sales.
Remove the summary and gpa. Work for free on some projects. Make the skills more specific and show how u have them in the other sections. I wouldn’t put being a frat member in accomplishments rithet
