I am at my senior year in college, and I’ve been trying to apply for internships/jobs, but haven’t had callbacks. I was wondering if there is anything wrong with my resume. Any advice on how to improve my resume/experience is appreciated.
Hello, I am currently a student studying for IT and I have been applying for IT Internship positions. I've applied to multiple internship postings, and so far only one reached out to me. The company is a start-up Christian/Conservative-based finance company, and they sent me a one-way video interview as an initial screening, so first impression is extremely important. It seems like the interviewing process is extremely competitive and rigorous, according to an interview review on Glassdoor. Other than that review, there is not much information on them, except for their website and job posting description, and the fact that they are a start-up. I don't have much experience in interviews, so this will be my first interview as an intern. I have never interviewed for a Christian-based company before either, so I am unsure of how to prepare for the questions. I need help on how to go about this interview and what to expect. Thank you for your time and advice.
Edit: I will probably get downvoted for this, but I understand that there are some red flags to the company, and trust me, I saw the red flags before I made this post. However, I don’t have to want to be discouraged, because this is an opportunity for me, especially in this job market. I’ve been a longtime lurker in this subreddit and I’ve seen many bad stories. Besides, this is an internship that will only last a few months, so I will go through with it even if the company is bad. I just want to gain experience (since I don’t have any), so I can put it on my resume and hopefully will make me stand out amongst other applicants. To add, I will be applying to other companies as well, so I am only seeking advice about what to expect in the interview process from this type of company. I will go through the interview process, even if I’m wasting my time, and if I don’t get in, I will learn from that lesson, and move on.
The color is almost burgundy but description says “berry”.
I will be going to a wedding next weekend in North Carolina. I’m not sure if I would consider it in a Deep South, but I believe the wedding venue is somewhere by a farm. The bride and groom are both southerners and the groom is a farmer. Not sure if that explains much, because there is a stereotype about wearing red. It also black-tie optional.
