I'm sure you'll land the internship you're looking for hon, that charm of yours can work wonders! ;)

And don't let those other people take credit for your work, they should have sense enough to show up if they want a good grade.

Well, the first 2 interviews went great. I really hope I get the first one, but that guy was very satisfied with my resume and stuff, and yeah my dazzling personality... it wasthe boss, not the guy who usually handels the interns, but that's only positive in this case ;) He said, I could be pretty sure of it, cos of course he is going to discuss it with the guy who usually handles the interns but hey, he's the boss so what he sais goes ( ... )

Well that's good, so long as everyone is contributing. I always hated doing group projects in school because the idiots in my group would never do the work...

Good luck with the interviews. You may as well interview as much as possible until you know you've landed one. If your first one went well, I'm sure they'll give you a call. But aren't internships where you work for the experience? I didn't think they paid you since you're technically still in school...

Yeah but it's a fulltime job, you can't have any job besides it... So yeah we should ask for at least € 250 a month, that's not even 2 bucks an hour! And some companies aren't even willing to spend that! Interns are always being used ( ... )

Well how far away is this other one? You get to ride the trains for free anyway don't you? If you get some pay it might be worth it, I mean you won't really have anything else to do during the day right? Since you won't have any schoolwork or whatever...although I know cutting in on free time can be a drag, but it's only for a few months isn't it? The extra distance might be worth it if you were wanting a little extra spending cash.

Yeah I know... I'm not going for the one nearby anyhow, I think they just got the wrong attitude ( ... )

Actually yeah, I think interns here get paid too, just not full salary. I must have been thinking about something else.

Well if it's worth it then go for it, the experience will help, and if you like that company maybe they will hire you after you graduate. Good luck hon! ;)

Thx hon ;)

I send the one nearby an email and they said they'll reconsidder paying me, so yeah, fingers crossed!
And I got another 2 interviews, just gotta call them back to make an appointment... can never go to too many interviews you know...

I'm actually surprized how well I do at job interviews, I thought I'd be a nervous wreck, afraid of what they'd ask me and stuff... but I'm seriously relaxed, and they all love me :D
Guess I wasn't that far off when I said I'd blow them away with my dazzeling personality ;p
