Searching for internships is starting to get me down, and to be honest, I don’t know how any student can search for internships without becoming depressed to some extent.
It’s time consuming, has costed me a bucket load in terms of new clothes for interviews and gas for travel, emotionally exhausting, and just plain frustrating.
I prepare for an interview for a couple of days, planning everything out, research the business, practice every possible answer, plan travel costs, time & parking, have trouble sleeping because I’m excited and nervous. I go to the interview, get home and crash, and have no motivation or will to do anything. Then the process inevitably repeats itself.
I’ve started doubting myself in ways. Even though I feel like the interviews are going great (I constantly get comments on proactivity, answers to questions, this and that etc), I can’t help but think there’s something about me that’s just, not good enough.
Am I not likeable enough? Do I smile too much? Did stutter answers and didn’t notice? Did I make some blatant mistake on my cv or sample work?
The thing that gets to me the most is the fact that when I do hopefully get an internship, I’ll be locking out some other poor student that’s just as desperate as me.
Idk, I just wish someone would take a chance with me. Maybe the fact that I'm even getting interviews shows that I'm doing well, but it really doesn't feel like it.
I feel like internships exist solely because businesses have figured out that instead of hiring entry level employees, they can just cycle through desperate students for free labour.
I also want to add my opinion on internships in general:
Honestly, colleges need dedicated staff to run practical courses to eliminate the need for internships. This would guarantee that students aren't being exploited by being coffee runners or whatever else.
It's already bad enough that you're expected to work for free (having interns do typical employee work is illegal where I am, but it's accepted by pretty much everyone, so no one does anything about it), so you should at least have a guarantee of practical learning and college credits.
