How to Find an Internship or Job in a Challenging Economy

One of the Biggest Lies is that “there aren’t enough jobs!” But, even in a challenging economy, there are ways to find opportunities.

In this episode of Big Lies Shattered, I spoke with Sophia Danziger, a senior at Cornell University at the College of Human Ecology who turned her summer internship at the Royal Bank of Canada into a full-time job. Our conversation will change your perspective and shatter the Big Lie that there aren’t enough jobs. In addition, Sophia will share insights on how to turn your internship into a post-grad job.

In this episode, Sophia and I discuss:

The Big Lie that there aren’t enough jobs How to foster strong relationships while at college Using your network when applying to jobs Abandoning the fear of asking a “silly question” What makes someone stand out during an interview How to leverage your authenticity during the interview process How Sophia turned her internship into a full-time job Shattering the Big Lie that careers are linear

I hope you enjoy the insight from our conversation!
