26A- Celebrating Failure
A time this summer that I kept failing at was landing an internship. Right before spring semester ended I still did not have an offer to a company and was feeling very discouraged. I kept applying on company websites, linkedin, indeed etc. Nothing was happening for me. I then got an email back from Jp Morgan to do an interview and this just made me have hope. I made sure I was prepared and was confident on any questions that they might ask me. I haven't heard back yet but I know the interviewing process at large firms takes a couple of weeks. By being persistent and motivated on what I wanted to accomplish made me determined to at least land an interview for the next summer. Also I did not leave my options all in one basket and kept applying to different companies to see if I can land something this summer as well. Always strive to have bigger and better goals for yourself.

Hey Janan! I think this is a great example of people that should be in today's world just because they get discouraged. Even though you didn't get it right away you eventually got it and someone saw a vision in you and that is what matters at the end of the day! Keep trying to apply to different places and you will succeed at anything.
ReplyDeleteHey Janan,
ReplyDeleteThis is a situation that I will probably be dealing with this upcoming year applying for different internships. It is nice to hear that you got that call and were able to get an opportunity to prove yourself. It is a good idea to continue applying so you can increase your chances of getting in to an organization. Great job!
