We want to first remind you that you are a talented individual and that the DEI Collective is not only about the opportunities to seek out an internship, but it is also about getting and refining your tools to thrive beyond the collective.
Based on employer feedback, a limit on interview openings, and your applications, we know that:
- companies are truly engaged in wanting to hire the talented students of JHU
- it’s practically certain that candidates who were not selected for these interviews will go on to other awesome opportunities. Take this student for example. She sent us an email last year after getting turned down by two companies.
“Ok thanks, but what do I do now?” – great question- and we are here to help you answer it!
