The fall semester is winding down at IRE, which means it is time for students to start applying for jobs/internships, if they have not already. This is a stressful and anxious time for many students. Making sure resumes and cover letters sound good and are error free. Sending out resumes and just waiting for responses.
Then when the responses come there are two things that can happen, rejection or a chance to move further in the process. I feel IRE has worked hard to prepare us for either event. I saw that a post was made earlier about the job search preparation that has happened at IRE. It was a great experience. It provided us with a warm up game, so to speak. It also gave the faculty members a good opportunity to explain that you don’t get an interview for every job you apply for. It was said that one important part of applying for jobs is accepting rejection. I encourage my peers to continue applying and to keep in mind all the good advice that was given over the semester.
