[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New poster. I hope OP is a troll for the student’s sake.

Question . My DC is only a college freshman so just curious is this the general time of the semester that a college senior should have a job lined up?I’ve heard that  Hopefully internships turn into offers.

It took me awhile to find my first “real “ job post graduation in the early 90s. Bad timing lol.

Most college students who are on the ball know that their last internship before senior year matters... high quality internship at a high quality company that converts a high percentage of interns with offers. So... the best of the best, have a job offer in September of their Senior year.[/quote]

Sounds good, but not everyone is going to get those high quality internships. [/quote]

It’s not just high quality, it’s literally all internships. Rising senior summer internship is how you get your first job offer. Everyone knows this. Why does this forum play dumb? When you drop the ball and still don’t have a job after rising senior summer internship, then fall recruiting, then spring recruiting, and graduate with no job it’s very SKETCHY. You’re a walking red flag.[/quote]

I graduated into a recession in 91. I bussed tables and moved to NYC to stay on a friend's couch with $300 in my pocket and no family support. Six months later I was working for private bankers as a temp secretary. Three months after that they sent me to the New York Institute of Finance and promoted me.

I was a studio art major.

There are many roads to success. [/quote]
