Those Internship Offers at the Start of the Quarter

<p>At the beginning of the quarter there are always some people who come into classes and talk about Summer internships and pass around piece of paper to sign up on. I remember them saying that they're ranked among the top 100 internships in the US and that people make up to $10k, but does anyone know just what it is?</p>

<p>You build and paint houses</p>

<p>Serious</p>

<p>Sounded like a scam in the info session</p>

<p>I know we had a guy come in to one of my classes the first day! we all thought he was the teacher so we all filled out the paper and then he goes and says "yeah you can make 8-10k a summer" i immediately thought "oh crap! i want that slip back!" </p>

<p>They actually called me today (during the GAME) and i told them that i thought it was the teacher and it was in a way misleading and that anything that says you can make 8-10k in just a few short weeks sounded suspect to me. The girl said "I'm sorry you feel that way" and hung up! lol </p>

<p>A really good internship program probably doesnt do it's recruiting in that manner!</p>

<p>I actually went through an interview and then got an interview with some higher up guy. I show up and it's not the same guy I was told was going to interview me and he made a big deal about the fact that I didn't wear a tie. He wanted me to go back and borrow a tie OR reschedule and bring a tie next time. <strong><em>? O.o I had dress pants, dress shirt, shoes etc. I was dressed for an interview. I was *</em></strong>ed so I never showed up for the next time.</p>

<p>My advice, don't bother.
You can also google College Works Reviews. There's a lot of complaints about the organization.</p>

<p>EDIT: wow, I didn't realize pis$ed was a swear word... O.o</p>

<p>Wow, painting, huh? Thanks for the responses, I just saved myself from a confusing interview.</p>

<p>What's your career interest?</p>

<p>Well I'm a comp sci major so I'm leaning towards software. I still haven't found what I want to specialize in, though.</p>
