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.
