Applying for internships has got to be the most stressful thing in my college career. It feels like there is never enough time in my schedule to sit down and search for a handful of internships that I actually qualify for and write cover letters for each of them. So here's how I feel about the internship application process as told by Leonardo Dicaprio.
You think of all of the awesome internships out there and how much fun this summer is going to be.
Then you remember that you want to stay up at school this summer and now your options are far more limited.
You finally find one that looks like the perfect match for you...
But then you come to realize you don't fit the qualifications.
So you move on to the next best one and it says it's paid.
You spend a week perfecting your cover letter and resume...
Then after a long wait you notice an email from the company...
They "chose a better candidate."
Then you get another email and oh wait, it's another rejection.
Rejection is getting a little old.
And you're starting to feel like your life is spiraling out of control and you'll never find a summer internship.
BUT THEN...you hopelessly open your email and there it is, the email you've been waiting to read. You have been chosen!
Finally! You have something to add to your resume and let your parents brag about.
Best of luck to all of you going through this stressful process!
