This Woman-Led Company Is Your Best Bet In Finding Your Next Internship
HiEmployment

This company was just founded in September 2014, but already it has 3.5 million users and 300,000 companies using it to hire their next interns and full time hires.

WayUp is the leading online job marketplace exclusively for U.S. college students and recent grads. WayUp is the only site where employers can post a job to a targeted audience of students at any U.S. college. With 30,000 students joining each week, most of these users are millennials who are actively seeking out internship and full-time job opportunities at a wide range of companies.

WayUp works with companies of all sizes, from startups to Fortune 500s, to help them recruit millennial talent, and places 1 in every 3 people who apply on WayUp in a job.

Here are some benefits of creating a WayUp account:

1. 1 in 3 people who apply on WayUp get accepted

Stats don't lie. Many current college students get their first internship offer from this website. Why? On WayUp, you are matched with jobs you are qualified to apply for--based on your school, grade, major, and more.


2. Free career advice and interview tips

You can find this anywhere if you google "interview tips"; however, do other websites provide you with career prep guides by industry and major? How about professional advice on how to grow your professional network or handle feedback at work? WayUp even offers advice targeting introverts on how to speak up in meetings. WayUp's guide provides hundreds of articles and videos. Now, this is just hardcore prep.


3. WayUp sends out reminders about your job matches

I'm the first to admit that I may not be the most organized person in the world. But no worries, WayUp is there to remind you about that internship you "forgot" to apply to. You can pick your notification settings on WayUp--Do you want to receive emails or push notifications? Do you want to hear about new opportunities once a week, or once a day? You decide.


4. Website is user-friendly and efficient to use

I don't know about you, but whenever I go to any college career fair, many companies turn me away solely because I am just a first-year college student. However, WayUp makes sure that all the companies that I see on my home screen are companies that match my current status and criteria. Not to mention that sometimes all it takes is one click to apply for a job listed on the website. What is that, like 0.1 seconds?


5. Did I mention that this is all FREE?

Meaning that all this career prep advice, interview tips, resume and cover letter guidance and on top of that a database of all companies looking to hire interns and recent grads are all free...

If your fingers aren't itching to make an WayUp account by now, then you're one tough cookie.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
