<\/a><\/div>\n\n\nFirst of all, long time no see. Life update, I quit my part time job to focus on school and get my grades up. In doing so, I realised something. Firstly, my grades did improve because I actually study now so that’s good. Things were going good until I realised, how intense the rat race is, especially when it came to finding an intern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have so far applied to 61 internships with only one reaching the final stage. I didn’t know how bad the situation is until I tried it myself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dehumanising video interviews, the sheer number of applicants in any job out there. The insane amount of experience required just to even be considered as a potential candidate. It’s out of this world. The amount of times that I saw an interesting position that I would like to try, the role prerequisites include: previous intern experience, knowledge in Python, R and C++, Ability to use CRM tools such as Salesforce, Familiarity in Excel (Pivot Tables, Power Query SUMIF). And these are just a few of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over the years we have seen the inflation of our credentials when it comes to job hunting. “A degree is not enough, you need to have extra-cirriculars.” “Have extra-cirriculars? That’s not enough I’m afraid, you need to have prior experience before we would even consider you.” “Oh, and on top of that, did I mention that we require our candidates to have a good academic standing? By that I mean you’re on track to a summa cum laude :)” Bruh…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Being good is not enough, you have to be exceptional. This is why I say the job market is cooked. With the help of the internet applications have skyrocketed. Just imagine being a recruiter, having to go through hundreds of applications just to choose one person. Would you rather take a chance on a guy with no prior experience but has a heart of gold and is passionate about the job AND wants to stay long term? OR, would I go for the Dean’s Lister, with a prior prestigious internship who only views this internship opportunity as a stepping stone and nothing else. Yea I think I would go for the latter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In conclusion, the average joe is cooked. Cross your fingers and pray to hope someone sees your potential. My best advice is to minimally excel in your academics. Happy hunting… <\/p>\n\n\n\n
