I don't have enough experience and I'm too old at 25 to get an internship. Literally what is this shit?
At one company I even met the head of the department the internship was in and gave him a firm handshake. He was pleased and said he'd call the guy in charge and see what he can do. Got a generic email the next day that said I don't qualify.
