[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 2024 grad got a job b4- accounting, interned summer of 2023 and got return offer.  This summer the firm was much more selective with return offers. my 2026 grad just received a return offer from his summer internship, engineering major.  Tell your college students to take the fall career fairs seriously!  Both of my kids and most of their friends got their internships at college career fairs.  The internship is the key to job offers.[/quote]

My son is starting his junior year of college next week. I’ve given him this advice throughout the summer. 🤞[/quote]

A lot depends on his resume to date: what did he do after sophomore summer? Most kids have career-related resume-building experiences during sophomore summer. Job at least tangentially related to career if not a real internship, research with a professor, even volunteering will work. Plus, what has he done during the semester? These days to be competitive for jobs they want to see the student has some leadership skills and/or research skills depending on the sector they want to go in to. [/quote]

My kid applied for internships for the summer. He is going to be a junior. He had one interview which was good experience but no job. He worked on campus for event services instead. Nine of his friends got internships either and most had trouble even finding summer jobs. [/quote]
