Secured My Dream Sales & Trading Internship: A Journey of Persistence
I am thrilled to share that I have finally landed a Sales & Trading internship! This experience has been nothing short of challenging, and I hope my story serves as motivation for anyone else in a similar position.
For those of you who are feeling disheartened in your job search, I want to emphasize the importance of perseverance. I can relate to the feeling of hopelessness that comes from applying for countless positions, only to receive interviews that don’t align with your career aspirations. That was my situation not too long ago.
Two weeks ago, I participated in an interview for a Sales & Trading role, and honestly, I left feeling as though it had gone poorly. The uncertainty was overwhelming, and I was on the verge of accepting an offer from a Big 4 firm out of sheer desperation. But to my surprise, just this week, I received an offer from the bank. It was a reminder that we often underestimate the outcomes of our efforts.
What made this accomplishment even more surprising was the approach I took—I applied cold, submitting my application directly through the bank’s online portal, without any prior networking. This experience has reinforced my belief that determination and resilience pay off.
If I can navigate this challenging process and secure a coveted internship, I truly believe that anyone else can do the same. The key takeaway here is to keep pushing forward.
Remember, the worst thing you can do is to give up or stop striving for your goals. Stay motivated, and continue applying—your opportunity may be just around the corner!
