University of Pittsburgh

Hi, I am a sophomore at the University of Pittsburgh looking for internships for summer 2023. I’ve applied to internships at all the big 4 firms as well as big banks (MS, GS, Bofa). (Within Big4 I am interested in consulting/advisory/strategy) So far I have had no look with applications even progressing to interview stages. They all just say application submitted. What can I do to get my application past that inititial submission stage, whether it be networking, going to career office, etc?

I applied online. I interviewed at University of Pittsburgh (Johnstown, PA)

Interview

They expected me to pay well over $1000 up front to cover the costs of my hotel, airfare, and Ubers to and from the airport in order to come to campus for the interview, giving me very little notice to shop around and get the best prices for things. I feel it's unethical to ask job seekers to pay so much money just to interview.

Interview Questions
  • I could not complete this interview because I did not have the funds to pay over $1000 for a chance at a job.

Account Manager

Today had my fourth interview . I interviewed with two upper management folks. I thought the interview went well and conversation flowed nicely.  They did not mention next steps and for some reason that freaked me out. Also, the interview was scheduled for 1 PM, but did not have an end time. It lasted about 40 minutes, so I’m not even sure if that is a good amount of time.  I haven’t switched companies in 15 years, so I honestly am really out of practice with all of this.

It is customary to ghost prospective employees After an interview? I’ve seen that happen and think it’s very unprofessional. If a person takes the time to fill out an application, do assessments, interview once or twice, I would think they should hear back from the company either way. I was a small business owner at one time and I interviewed and hired people. I always let the prospective employee know right away if they were being hired.
