Upon finishing an interview there is a sense of confidence and hope that is until you receive a call or email that begins with "Unfortunately". Once that word comes up, it’s like all sense of hope is gone, and you wonder what exactly it was that made them not like you. I have felt like this for the past few weeks, I have had three interviews and so far I have heard two No's, each one left me more discouraged. On top of that I have sent my resume and applied to numerous companies, yet I have heard nothing back. Searching for a summer internship has by far been the most difficult job search that I have ever been through. But just when I was about to have a break down, I talked to someone that gave me some very encouraging advice. It was to not take it personal and contemplate if you would actually be happy working for the companies. I thought about it long and hard, though I would have loved any of these positions, I am not sure if any would make me happy.
Until recently I wasn't exactly sure what I wanted to do, all I was sure of was I wanted to be in the fashion industry. Last weekend I volunteered with a local PR company at a fashion show, though it was only a few hours, I loved every second of it. From stuffing swag bags to figuring out seating arrangements, it gave me a sense of fulfillment. I think that I have truly found something that I enjoy and would love to pursue a career in. Though it may sound cliché, I have found my perfect fit and will now focus on trying to obtain a public relations internship for this summer. I still have high hopes of landing an internship in New York but no matter where I land, it will get me closer to New York!
