HELP! 10-week summer internship clashes with exam time
Hi guys,
First of all I am aware that you shouldn´t ask for holiday during a 10-week internship but my internship starts during my exam time at University. How many days off do you usually have during a 10 week summer internship? I will probably need 5 days off for exams. (but over a 2-3 week period, so not 5 days straight). Otherwise I can´t accept the offer. Any advice? Anyone with a similar situation in the past? Is this possible?
Thanks.
Anyone?
It's best to tell HR and provide some sort of evidence to show that you cannot miss the exams.
If it were me, I would make arrangements to take my exams early.
I had fellow interns in this situation and they sat their exams early.
Take them early. Me along with a bunch of other interns at my bank had to do this.
thanks for the responses, unfortunately it isn´t possible to postpone the exams. So if I don´t take them I fail automatically. It really sucks...
Don't postpone, take them early.
When I was graduating from UG, I had a job offer that i ultimately accepted but they needed me to start May 1. All of my professors except 1 allowed me to sit early (exam period was like the 5-9 or something like that). The one who didn't allowed me to sit for the final at an Exam Testing site close to where I moved.
Tell your internship and try to sit EARLY (not postpone)
Take them early. If that does't work, see if you can take them remotely, perhaps with a local alumnus serving as a proctor.
To answer your question "how much vacation time do interns get." The answer is expect none and be surprised with what you get. If your bank has a Saturday off policy, great, those also apply to interns, assuming you aren't on live deals. In addition to that, you may get July 4 off (if you are in the US) but will need to check with your teams. It's not a viable strategy to think you can take exams in your off time as an intern since it's so unpredictable.
I have the same issue, except I am also missing the last week of classes too. My school doesn't allow you to take exams early, so I'll be taking all my exams at the bank and someone from the bank will proctor. They have had to proctor interns before.
