Summer Internship vs International Student

Last Friday, i got my first interview opportunity provided by "Bule Giant". Although it is an internal consulting job, I still appreciated that they provide me the opportunity to interview. As a result, I found out my interview note/script, prepared while applying for MBA one year ago........

I valued this interview. Not only is it my first interview, but I believe it will be my opportunity to work in different intustry. However, life is cruel. I was notified by Career Center that the interview was calcelled sicne the visa issue. The multinational company, "Blue Giantl," does not sponsor international student for full-time job. You may ask that internship does not need the conmpany to sponsor anything. ........... WRONG.......... They usually consider to provide the full-time offering from the summer internships so internaltional students are not on their list.

Furthermore, they told Career Center that they do not want to waste my time for the interview. From my point of view, the truth may be that they do not want to waste their time........ @_@

I think this is international students' destiny. It's frustrated when it really comes to you. I just reviewed and talked to myself again: "Life is not a matter of holding good cards, but of playing a poor hand well."
