I’m in uni, i haven’t had much luck with applications so far. I know that most people actually get places by having stuff to show off e.g projects, clubs and GOOD GRADES. My grades are “mid,” and I’ve had no time for clubs and projects (engineering student, supporting family, poor mental health)
Spam applying for places feels like it will do more harm than good. Am I right to feel that? Or completely wrong? One argument against might be that no human is going to see the application most of the time, so it really is a persistence game
Make use of your university’s career services department/center whatever its called. There are resources. Inside tracks on internships Help on resumes. Etc…
True, and I will. What does inside track on internships mean? Like they’re specifically holding a slot for someone at your uni to join?
Obviously I can’t speak about your school in particular, however, usually it can range from something as simple as good working relationships all the way to major alumni connections. Hell, maybe just familiarity with options you have yet to consider. The point is they’re a resource that you should use while you have access to it.
