Did the Firm You Interned with Offer a Job to You?
By Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter
The correct way to answer this is to say, “Yes, I interned for them and did a great job for them. On graduation, I’m sure you realize that the economy cratered and they decide to cut back very dramatically on their internship hires. So, no, I wasn’t offered a position but no one else was offered a fulltime position with them. I’m sure I have great references from them and if you like I can put you in touch with the firm you to verify that.”
That’s really as complicated as you need to be. Acknowledge that you did intern there, that you weren’t there for a position, as a matter of fact no one was offered a position there, that you great references, and that you be happy put them together with them at the right time.
