Meg spent quite a bit of time early in September applying for summer internships through the Kelley School of Business career center. She was excited at the time, but a little nervous about hearing back from anyone. In the end she was asked to interview with every company that she applied to except for two - KPMG and Proctor & Gamble. None of us were surprised by that as those were two of the most challenging interviews to acquire.
Last Friday she had her first interview with Ally Bank. She was glad that it was her first as it wasn't one that she had her heart set on, but it gave her a lot of experience. This week she had four more interviews including one that she really was interested in - Plante Moran. Meg practiced all weekend responding to questions and even had a mock interview with Nick's stuffed moose. She prepared questions, researched each company and bought new business clothes as well.
I was glad to hear from Meg that she felt that the four interviews this week went well. There were a couple of hiccups, but only minor. She was excited about each opportunity and hoped that at least one of them would land her a second interview. She decided to take a break from applying for internships at least until the weekend. I was proud of how hard she worked. I remembered from Brett and Cal's experience that interviewing and looking for an internship/job could be exhausting. I am excited to see what she finds out and hope that she has some answers soon.
