A few days back, I had my first ever interview with an HR. It was on a video call with around 50 other students. The HR was going through resumes and, honestly, rejecting people right on the spot. When she saw mine, she straight up said my resume couldn’t be selected—it was too weak. I was so confident about it because I had shown it to my relatives, and they told me, “Nobody can reject this, it’s fine! For an internship, you don’t even need special skills.”
But seeing her reject it right in front of me… I was like, “Oh God, what’s happening?” I had created that resume just a few days ago. It had my name, address, education, languages I can speak. Compared to many students on the call who had done so much in the past two years, I hadn’t done much. I thought maybe that wouldn’t matter—they’d just ask a few questions, and I’d get the internship. But nope, she rejected it on the spot. That day, I made one project just so I could show something next time.
