Sent out so many internship applications but no response yet. Are we cooked?
I have been applying for internships and jobs (full and part-time) since mid of June 2026, nobody even bothers to reply anymore. Like I know for a fact I am doing everything right. I applied for Paramount Pictures internships, they even accepted me for their online assessments. I gave the assessments for 3 different internship positions and they rejected me. Worse? they sent one rejection mail 2 weeks after the assessment (so it's fine) but for the 2 other roles I was left marinating for a month before I received the rejection (an automated one). Few rejection emails I received were also automated rejections with the same line "due to the high volume of applicants we cannot provide individual feedback but unfortunately we are not moving forward." The AI being used for hiring process is insane! My dad doesn't even accept that I am trying my best! I literally apply for every job which matches my skills. If anyone got a job after you almost gave up, please share your story in the comments, I need some hope and motivation. ;-;
