[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are a lot of people who prefer to see resumes with experiences like lifeguard, waitstaff, construction and painting, etc. over internships which can be hit or miss on giving any actual experience.  And, a student who is a good worker and liked enough to be able to return to a prior job can tell you a lot about work ethic and ability to get along with people.[/quote]

That’s all true - for a high school student. College kids need to show more initiative and experience in the job market today. Not having an internship by junior year (while enrolled in a selective college) is a red flag.[/quote]

It’s super weird and suggests low ambition when every top tier college classmate is hustling their asses off and taking internships around the world. The boomers on here who dropped acid all summer, went to Woodstock and ended up becoming bureaucrats and lawyers thinking their path is applicable to the current entry level job market are beyond delusional.[/quote]
