Not just internships and jobs though all students should be working part time btw . Students need to expose themselves to as much harsh criticism as possible . I ' ve dealt with far too many grads from different schools that get triggered by a manager ' s tone , and they just can ' t handle criticism . I only want to hire people who are ready to lead . A 4 . 0 GPA with only a couple of clubs no leadership in those clubs and a weekend job doesn ' t get the job . If I wanted to hire people who only have booksmarts , I ' d recruit from the local high school AP classes . Employers want top performers . <| sep |> Eat some turkey and move on . I would delete the screenshot and hopefully you find somebody with similar interests in your findafriend app .
