gosh.... something that I have been wanting so damn much... i've finally gotten it.
my summer internship in london for 6 wks.
I'm contemplating whether or nt to accept the offer right now..
been trying to refrain myself frm cursing but what the hell... I feel so confused now.
I was so excited at first. but after attending the Career Fair that my school had yesterday, I've decided that I want to apply for Wynn Hotel in vegas for my summer. not that I will get it for sure. but the recruiter was so nice.... when I told him that I was gonna graduate in dec 2008, he said it will be just in time for me to be part of their family cause a full-scale resort is set to open at the end of the year, as an expansion of Wynn Las Vegas. They will have to hire 5,300 employees and marketing majors will definitely be in demand. so he said, summer internship with them will help me gear for the full-time entry level position in december. that is again, IF i ever get the internship. there's all those interviews ya daa ya daaa... which i tend to screw myself in.
speaking of which, I havent been screwing up my interviews! yay!!! hahahah passed the 2 rounds of interview for the london summer internship. and the internship that Im doing right now. phewww!! after all, failures bring success.
okay back to the summer internship over at london:
pros-
-gain an invaluable first hand experience in an unfamiliar business territory with different business climate.
-great networking experience
-see good looking people
cons-
-expensive (the 6wks will cost me USD20,000= GBP 10,273.20 = RUPIAH 185,070,000.00 )
-unpaid internship
-very far frm US and having an internship at somewhere so far away in summer is such a bad idea when friends and families are coming
-giving up my chance of applying to Wynn Hotel
-get fat
more cons than pros. dang it! but Im so unwilling to let go of this great great great opportunity.. sound so cliche. but whateverrrrr...
