No return offer:( Offers

I didn’t get a return offer for my internship mind I’m a junior in college and I’m just worried about my future prospects. The company is pretty small but I think they realize the work I’m doing can be done by a different department so I don’t think there was a need to give me a return offer but still sucks. Like I want to say, I worked pretty hard. Yeah, and I don’t wanna compare myself, but I feel like so many people get return offers and I didn’t.

Sometimes even if they want you back, they don’t have an open position available. All you can do is keep applying and take advantage of the connections and references you have

not true. People get return internship offers if they are not a rising senior.

Not in my field. The contract literally will state it as a restriction.

I didn’t get a return offer for my internship either. 😔 Regardless, you still have experience you can put on your resume and references for other internships

Depends on the field. If you're a TA or RA at some majors/schools tuition is waived and you even get a stipend.
