<p>-How many of you worked while in college?</p>
<p>Did it help you in your first interview? Did it help you in your career. How?</p>
<p>-How many of you did not work while in college? Did affect it your first interview? How?</p>
<p>I am working in college. I will graduate with work experience in my field (yes that is going to help), and it has impressed scholarship boards and various other competitions I have entered. A lot of people graduate without relevant experience and end up working an unpaid internship after graduation. No thanks!</p>
<p>If you graduate college without any work experience at all you are going to be in trouble.</p>
<p>I didn’t work in high school, but I picked up a part-time blue collar job last summer and I continue to work after school and on weekends while enrolled as a full-time college student.</p>
<p>I don’t know how having this minimum wage job will help me when I start interviewing for internships in my field (which is finance), but holding such a job, at minimum, connotes that I function well in a workplace.</p>
<p>i never had an interview :P</p>
<p>but i had the grades they wanted and the reccomendations so i got in.</p>
<p>worst eperience would have to be HS :P</p>
