5 Reasons Why Youre Not Getting the Internship

5 Reasons Why You're Not Getting the Internship pexels.com Never following up This may seem like a minor thing, but many employers think highly of candidates who follow up after an interview. If you forgot to follow up or just thought doing so would be unnecessary, have no fear you can try it out for the next internship. Within at least a few days after the interview, simply send an email, keeping it short and sweet, to thank the interviewer for his or her time. You may be surprised by how much of an impact this could have. After initially getting rejected from an internship I applied to, I sent a brief, simple email to the employer thanking her for her time and wishing her a good summer. The following week, she contacted me again to tell me she thought a lot of my thank you email and was reconsidering me for a position. (I ended up interning at that company for the whole summer.) In some cases, a little goes a long way. It’s just not the right fit for the company or for you Sometimes, not getting the internship is out of your control. It may not have been anything you did specifically, but perhaps the company or the position itself is not the right fit for you. And that’s totally alright. Keep your chin up and always remember, there will be many other opportunities for you to impress future potential employers.
