[quote=Anonymous]All I know is, I hear you. My sophomore college kid is in the same boat and has not done nearly as much to apply I don't think the typical apply online and wait to hear back approach works as well anymore. Not saying don't do it, but realize the ratio of return is low. Instead, kids need to apply to summer retail or service jobs (waitstaff, clothing stores, etc.) and just get SOME work experience. I also think they need to rely on networks with friends from high school, friends from college, and unfortunately, parents and friends of parents. I personally hate this nepo-baby era, but from what I saw of the 100 intern slots at my corporate Fortune 500 last summer, probably 1/2 were friends or relatives of employees. (It annoyed me to no end but that unfortunately is the way of the world.)[/quote]
