Failure to secure an internship
All these failed attempts to secure an internship is really giving my confidence a trashing. Of those that I applied for, many do not even call me for an interview.
Two days back, I went for an interview at a company that does exactly the things I hope to do in the future. The interview lasted for an hour and we talked for a long time about some of the work that I have done in school. I thought it went really well and was hopeful. Today I went for another interview, but this is for a job that I am not interested in. Unfortunately, the interviewer asked me if I could confirm if I would take the job because she is thinking of offering it to me. I told her I would have to check with the other company before accepting her offer.
Well, I checked. I didn't get the job. I called the company that was interested in me but they can only get back to me tomorrow because they are now looking at other applicants.
On paper, I have done many relevant modules that I excel in. Yet, time and again, I am rejected after the interview. Am I really that terrible? Perhaps I should have seen it coming when I saw the interviewers being offered "Doughnuts from Raffles City" by the interviewee before me.
I am already such a failure at securing an internship, I don't even want to know how fucked up I'll be as a marketer or advertiser in the future.
