[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think, these days, kids need a combination of qualifications and connections. My daughter, a communications major, saw on LinkedIn that a company was hiring interns. She noticed a family friend worked at the company and asked if he would introduce her via email to the department head. She followed up with a cover letter and resume, and the department head responded a few days later. During the interview, he mentioned that he was glad our family friend gave him a heads up because he gets 1000+ emails per day. My daughter has been interning there all year and just received an offer for employment when she graduates.[/quote] Agree. My junior son has had an internship each summer and they have all been gotten through DH's connections. He's an amazing student at a top university so he's certainly qualified, but we are very grateful for these opportunities because I know it would be so much more difficult for him if he didn't have this help.
