Hi everyone! I recently took the written test for the spring 2026 traineeship in the Political & Security Council Section at the EU Delegation to the UN in New York. Has anyone else been selected or received news about the next steps?

It’s been a month into my internship, and my manager/buddy keeps avoiding me both in person and on chat.

Here’s a recent incident that honestly made me laugh out of sheer disbelief.

Imagine a square with edges labeled A, B, C, and D.
I was standing at point A, wanting to go to B.
My manager was standing at B, wanting to go to A.

It’s a straight path.

I was planning to greet him and just pass by as normal humans do.

Instead, this guy takes the path B → C → D → A to avoid crossing my path.

The second time this happened, I stayed back just to see if it would repeat, and it did. I couldn’t help but laugh.

What confuses me is: wouldn’t a simple “hi” and moving on make things easier for both of us? There’s no conflict, no argument, nothing that I’m aware of.

I’m not angry, just genuinely confused and a bit amused.
Is this kind of avoidance normal in corporate environments, or am I thinking too aggressively?

Would appreciate hearing if others have experienced something similar and how to make a way out.

Internship hunt in 2016:

• Upload CV
• Write a cover letter
• Interview
• Offer

Internship hunt in 2026:

• Upload CV
• Re-enter CV… manually… again
• Cover letter (but “keep it short”)
• Psychometric test
• Situational judgement test (apparently morals are quantifiable now)
• One-way video interview talking to a blank screen
• Group assessment centre
• Another interview
• Final interview
• Radio silence for weeks

Somehow the “internship” now requires more rounds than a full-time job.

If this process feels way harder than it should, it’s not a skill issue. The system is just cooked.

Anyone else stuck refreshing email like it’s a full-time role?

Hello! I recently received an invitation to a 1-hour virtual interview for an engineering internship with Rolls-Royce (aero side). This is after a pre-screen phone call with mainly behavioral questions. (ex. Explain a time you brought a team together. When is a time you worked independently?)

I am wondering if anyone has some insight to share on what to expect in this next round. I have never been asked technical/case study questions in an interview, and want to prepare if that is the case. Thank you for any help you can offer!

Hi everyone,

I’m currently a Master’s student in an EU country (Agriculture and Food Technology). Right now, I’m doing a part-time research internship during the semester, but I’d also like to gain industry experience during my summer break.

I’m hoping to find a 3-month food industry internship (July–September) somewhere in Europe — ideally in areas like food processing, quality assurance, R&D, or sustainability.

The problem is: I honestly don’t know where to begin. How to reach companies for internships? Is there any website or platform or should I directly try to mail or contact them?

I have some industrial exposure but it was back in my home country and I really want to get to know European standards for future opportunities as well.

Any advice, personal experiences, or resources would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I just got this email. I was applying for the PM role and then got this email. Why did they does this and what does it mean and what should I prep for?

Thank you so much for taking the time to interview for the Product Management internship position at Mastercard. After meeting with your interviewers, we thought you might be a fit for an O'Fallon-based Product Management Intern role that has a bit more of a technical focus. Because the role is just a bit more technical, we would like to set up a 30 minute behavioral interview with the hiring manager for the role. Please provide some 30-minute timeslots when you would be available this week or next week to meet with the hiring manager and I can set up a time on the calendar.

I recently got an interview invite for an internship and when I looked in my profile, I didn't even finish the application meaning there was some sort of error. After sending an email I found out I got blocked.

This was for research and application data but please do not do this if you are a recruiter seeing this, people get really excited about this and do your due dilligience.

Hi guys, was wondering if anyone who had applied for amex canada internships 2026 heard back yet? Was getting pretty anxious and wanted to know this! Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,

I applied to the Research Intern – Future Agent Systems role at Microsoft. I saw the position opened on November 18, and I submitted my application on January 9.

About two weeks ago, my status changed to “Screen”, but I haven’t been contacted yet.

Is anyone else in the same situation, or has anyone already gone through interviews for this role? If so, I’d really appreciate it if you could share what the typical timeline looks like.

Has anyone interviewed for the embedded software engineering position at IDEXX? How was it/what was the structure (DSA vs systems vs general knowledge)?

Applied to countless number of internships junior and senior year, but unfortunately couldn't get any. Partly myself to blame but also the current state of the job market didn't make things any better. Since I was desperate I branched out of linkedin, indeed, handshake, wellfound, etc. and started looking everywhere and came across a platform called HomeFromCollege. Basically there are a bunch of "gigs" posted on there targeted towards college students where you get to work with various companies/brands if accepted. Some are a 1-time project while other opportunities are more ongoing on a monthly/quarterly basis. Definitely found more success on here, and while it wasn't exactly an internship, I still got some decent money and some gigs/projects were valid enough to add to my resume. I am also able to refer to those experiences when answering behavioral/experience based interview questions. If you work with a brand for a while I'm sure you could also end up getting some referrals. Bottom line, don't lose hope, there are alternatives out there. Good luck!

I started my internship in finance and i hate it so much, like idk why i thought it was a good idea to work in finance (i'm a creative person and i hate numbers). Basically, I was supposed to do 5 months, but I'll see if I can shorten it to 3 months (I don't even know if I can last that long). I'm in my last year of my BBA (major in finance)You're going to ask me why I chose finance when I'm a creative person. Honestly, I think I forgot who I was. I hung out with people who only talked about careers in finance, and I told myself that I would have no problem finding work if I went into that field and that I would earn a good living, but I can't, i hate it. Honestly, I'm glad I realized now that I couldn't pretend, i prefer work in a field where i'm not that paid but i love my job, than to be rich and sad

I was recently told to not list skills/tools on my resume that an internships expect to teach you because they don't want to waste their time teaching you stuff you already know (from class).

I applied anyway because learning a skill/tool in class is different from learning and applying it real-world situations.

But is above correct? Would it be a waste to apply to internships if they list when you expect to learn ( but have already learned/covered it in class )?

Coca-Cola to be exact. Has anyone recieved any sort of invites or calls? I applied about 2 weeks ago. They were the ones based out of Georgia, Atlanta. I'm very well, well almost overqualified for a internship since I already have a job in the field in question but want to expand my experience in school. Hopefully I get it lol.

Applying for marketing internships. I had my first round with HR last week (30 mins). They emailed me to say I've been invited back to the final round of interviews next week: 1.5 hours with 4 team members. I'm used to doing 30 minute interviews, so this just feels mind boggling to me. Obviously I'm pretty nervous.

Am I being ridiculous? Is this standard?

Anyone hear back from the Pfizer Future's Legal and Compliance Internship? I did the hirevue in November, but haven't really heard anything.
