The conflicts btw the SA and my uni.
Hello.
My summer internship will start in the beginning of July. But my summer break will not start till the end of July. And the university won't let me go before the exact ending date of the term.
What shall I do now? If I negotiate with HR, will they let me join the SA program a bit late?
Anyone can give me some suggestion? Thank you sooooooooooo much!!!
Well, I know my firm didn't hire you.
CALL HR!!!! HOLY SHIT!!!
damn
He has been waitlisted for your summer internship. :)
You have no choice but to negotiate with HR. What's the alternative, fail all your classes this semester? Or miss the first month of your internship?
If it eases your mind at all I did this exact thing for a BB in NYC this summer. I am a student in the Uk and our school calendar doesnt match up with the US but they still let me come..
im a student in the UK as well. This intern offer is from HK. I have tried to negotiate with my uni. And they insisted that I have to attend the final presentation of my dissertation at the end of July :((((((( did u do well with ur intern in the end? how abt FT offer?
No this is for my upcoming internship this summer. I don't think it will make any difference to be honest.
Your university won't let you go? What the hell does that even mean?
Talk to your professors to see if you can take the final early. I would speak with your professors on a very personal level before you talk to HR. This of course, will show how articulate and how personable you are.
From my limited perspective, and if I were HR, I'd replace you in an instant since there are many other qualified interns to replace you.
not every university works like your university. There are some certain rules in the world that can not be changed. Also, I assume you are studying in an American university. The universities in the UK have tortally different rules. No one can take the finals earlier here.
Yeah, HR doesn't care about you. Try to work it out on your end first and go to HR as a last resort.
Just a note about HR-
They dont actually care about your internship or experience. This could play either way- they ditch you for someone else, or they just need a body to be there as many weeks as YOU can that may or may not get a FT offer after.
I am not sure that a conflict is terrible for you, that said, still talk to professors first.
The thing with HR worked for me but that was because the head of my division told them to make it work!
Thats a pretty terrible situation, I would call HR and try to have someone at the university talk with them
Just a question: do you have to be present at university all the time? If not, ask for three days off during your internship (you will have to explain why), fly back to the UK on day 1, attend presentation on day 2, fly back on day 3. This will cost you some bucks, nerves and time (jetlag inc), but a career is worth more than just that.
I'd find out first what is going to happen if you don't attend the presentation (if its a minor penalty, just suck it up ). You should definitely work on the university side first and only go to your SA employer and ask for a postponement of the internship if nothing else works out.
