That place where I belong
With the amount of interviews I have this week and the amount of snow we’ve had so far (there’s more snow coming), it’s been a long, tiring week and it’s not even Friday yet. I am looking forward to the “Spring break” of doing work and maybe doing nothing. I literally miss sleeping in. Even my days off from school is no longer a day off because I force myself to come in to work and do a 8 hour shift. Also even if I don’t have this 8 hour shift, I have a lab due on this day “off”. I guess there goes my study day. I do that I might spend my Thursday next week in the library studying for the Friday midterm. I would rather do that than work. I guess there are down and up sides to it. If I work, I get paid (not much but it’s money). If I study, I’m not studying something that’s even interesting. Studying algorithms is not my idea of Thursday mornings. Meh. It’s only the second month of the second semester and I’m already looking forward to the end of the semester. So far I’ve only had 1 midterm which was my philosophy class and I’m so glad I did ok. I didn’t get my marks yet but I at least know that I probably got at least a B on it. :embarass: So that’s that. Basically the only job that I wanted for this summer internship has most likely been taken already. The company already had interviews and they didnt contact me. I have not heard from them. That really upset me. I wanted to go back to work there so badly. I thought that my previous experience of working there would get me “brownie” points but I guess not. I guess my misspell of “unoficial” screwed me over. Hey one company missed it so I thought it would be the same for this one. Ah well… I’m not saying I wont be applying there again because I will. That company is so fit for me. I can see myself being there doing the whole 40 hour weekly shifts and feeling all proud that I made it this far… Meh, is it too early to talk about that work stuff even when I’m not even close to graduating university yet? I didnt know what I planned on doing until I got to working there. I knew what career I wanted but I didnt know where.. until I worked there..

Maybe you should go back and apply to the job you worked at before, but not for an internship.
A lot of times, companies won’t re-hire interns, because they feel that they need to bring in new people, not people that already know the gig.
So maybe if you went in for a different position they’ll hire you, and maybe even throw in some $$!

Glad you did ok on the midterm. I don’t know why they wouldn’t hire you over such a tiny mistake. Hopefully when you reapply they’ll hire you. Good luck.

Yay for probably getting a B! I’m glad I don’t have to do midterms yet. xD
It stinks that the company didn’t contact you, but many companies only let people intern once to give other people the opportunity. But if you can seriously see yourself working there, could you apply for a job? Some companies do hire past interns, and if you were a good intern, then they already have a good opinion of you which could possibly help you. Good luck!

Congrats on the midterm. I hate when companies don’t call you or make any form of contact after you interview with them and make that follow-up call. I just had that experience myself. I just got so frustrated that I called one last time to check that status and that’s when they told me I did have enough qualifications for the position. Cool, but why wait almost a month to tell me that. I guess companies are like that.

Sorry to hear about the internship
I hope you can find something another job that you will enjoy … At the moment I don’t have to do any internships, but I can imagine finding a nice place where I would like to stay … but hufff – we’re young and bright 
so I’m sure you will find something you like !!! xoxo

Ah, that must have been frustrating. Good luck on the interviews though!
I’m waiting to hear back from the colleges that I applied to and I’m crossing my fingers that I didn’t do anything simple and stupid that will prevent me from getting in.
