You Didn’t Get the Offer: Put Your Tears Away
This is the follow up episode to S2: Ep 7 Internship Midpoint: Summer Schmoney Moves Part 2
In this episode, we talk about what happens when you don’t secure the Summer Schmoney bag and you don’t get a full time offer after your summer internship. Guess What? More interns DON’T land full-time offers than do.
I have two special guest joining me today.
From the S2 Ep 7 Internship Midpoint: Summer Schmoney Moves Part 2, Jessika Banks, a former intern at the previous blue chip CPG I worked for. Jessika is smart and ambitious and one to watch. She holds an MBA from the University of Alabama, holds the First Place title for the most recent National Black MBA Association Case Competition and is a go getter rock star ready to take the corporate world by storm. I was fortunate enough to meet Jessika at National Black MBA Conference where we recruited her for the MBA summer internship program.
My second guest is someone I am proud to call my friend.

I’m excited about the discussion you are about to hear. If you know anyone who did not convert their internship to a full time offer, please share the following conversation with them.
