STILL INTERNSHIP
The Italian crisis seen from postgraduate students in Milan
How long do today’s youths have to study to reach their career goals? How much internship do they need to do before getting a job? These are the questions everyone was wondering to ask at the Career day, yesterday at the public University of Milan.
The event was made to put in contact students and recruiter from different companies. Danone, L’Oréal, McDonald’s, Polymedia, Allianz, Birra Peroni were some of the 100 national and international brands represented in the main cloister of the building. At 11.30, young people asking for consultation and leaving CVs surrounded every stand.
Monica, 22-years-old student of marketing, was totally excited: “I wish I printed more copies of my CV, I’d give it to half the desks here!” However, a part from her and a few second-year-students, disappointment was in the air.
Applying for as many positions as possible is one of the most popular strategies. Sadly, the competition is so high that you never know how many companies will respond. “They told me they’ll let me know as soon as possible, but I don’t know if they’ll even look at my profile,” said Francesco, 24, student of pharmacy.
