Why didn’t the little
skeleton go to see a scary movie?
He didn’t have the guts!
Myth:
You should only apply for positions that have your field of study in the title.
Be open to all opportunities! Some companies may be
recruiting for only one or two positions but you could find that your skills
can be very useful in those open jobs. Always give a job a chance. Work with a
recruiter to see how your skills and needs can fit into the job/internship that
they’re hiring for. Many internships can be tailored to what the student is
hoping to gain from the experience.
Do not judge a company by its name. It may be hard to see
the value of working at a smaller company when there are so many large
companies out there but you should really give them a chance. Always except an
offer to interview unless you have previously committed yourself to another
employer. You can practice your interview skills and who knows, maybe they will
describe your ideal job or offer you an opportunity that you cannot refuse!
Students seem to get hung up on their major and finish their
time at UT without internship experience or a full-time job offer. Worry less
about the job title and more about how your skills can be utilized in the
position you’re applying or interviewing for. If you take part in an internship
that you do not enjoy, you have still learned a lot and therefore, have a
better idea of what you’re looking for in a future position. Do you best in
your interviews and receive an offer, then decline if you feel the position is
not right for you.
Good luck this recruiting season!
