Crazy time of internships is here!
This is it. The first time when you get to make or break your career. From tackling 3 interviews in a day to idle brain time - this Term 2 has it all. Course load is fairly balanced, given how much we stress over getting those internships! A breather for sure after the hectic Term 1.
While some of us have already secured their summer jobs, the process of interviews has just begun. This month has been the month for Finance and Consulting focused students. First round of interviews are on, some have had the second rounds. It seems like end of February would paint a decent picture for these functions.
That said, I cannot stress enough how important prioritizing your goals at Rotman is. Once you do that, you know exactly what you need to focus on. While some students don't really need to care about grades per se, Consulting and Finance roles siphon most students based on that and of course the profiles and cover letters and resumes. But if you do have the grades, you need to focus less on creating a stellar resume or cover letter, because a good grade and a good GMAT gets you the spotlight at least for the first shortlist. Whether you do well after that, of course depends upon how good you are at behavioral (and case interviews - for Consulting profiles).
I wish all our classmates a good luck for this entire grueling process! The phase of good news has only just begun! :)
