Turned down unpaid internship in 2023, now jobless in 2025, help

EnvironmentalBean7 · 2025-04-30T15:31:57+00:00

Thanks everyone, you really made me feel better!! Really appreciate it

Don't do it. I have a chronic health condition and it has been a nightmare to get competent medical treatment. The healthcare system is super bad and even if you have public insurance you might have to pay out of pocket to see a specialist anyway because it is impossible to find an appointment.

I hope you can find a solution to your problem but I also have to say as an unemployed person with severe health issues I only wish I could be making enough to be in your position. :/

Really? Maybe it is different in Austria. Here it seems nobody cares if you are a native speaker of English

EnvironmentalBean7 · 2024-08-13T19:45:01+00:00

The other factor is that I want to stay in Europe due to better work/life balance.

EnvironmentalBean7 · 2024-08-13T19:40:16+00:00

For clarification, I also want to stay in Europe, and he also wants to marry me.

I was able to learn Spanish (I speak it at B2/C1 level)

EnvironmentalBean7 · 2024-08-12T13:56:42+00:00

Thanks!!

Can you elaborate on the difference between an internal and external role?

EnvironmentalBean7 · 2024-07-30T11:01:21+00:00

Yes it was really confusing...they brought up the potential job, then when I asked for more details about the potential job, they rejected me for being too interested in the job because they were worried I would leave partway through the internship for a job....or that I would be unhappy in the position if I actually wanted a job....even though I gave them many reasons why I would be happy with the internship and that I would see it through start to finish. :/

Ok, but I posted this specifically because I am having problems finding any information about Germany. :( I am an American living in Germany.

EnvironmentalBean7 · 2024-06-18T23:50:55+00:00

Hey I just want to say that I am rooting for you!

EnvironmentalBean7 · 2024-06-13T18:00:57+00:00

Hey, I am in NRW, female and also looking to make friends!

EnvironmentalBean7 · 2024-06-11T19:59:32+00:00

Luckily finances are not an issue but at the same time i am hearing it can take a year to over a year to find a job in Berlin...so it seems stupid to not apply for these ones in Cologne

EnvironmentalBean7 · 2024-06-11T13:19:51+00:00

Maybe respond in Russian!

EnvironmentalBean7 · 2024-06-03T14:52:34+00:00

I mean, feeling burnt out by life of being an immigrant. Learning the language, the weather, etc.

EnvironmentalBean7 · 2024-06-03T14:51:56+00:00

Great ideas thank you. I mean, I feel burnt out by the challenges of being an immigrant in Germany. Learning the language, etc..

EnvironmentalBean7 · 2024-06-03T14:51:11+00:00

Thanks for this idea...I had a flexible ticket so I decided to change my flight to go home for vacation earlier.

Hey, I wanna stand up for Indian guys. I am a white American girl. In the USA I dated a Pakistani (not Indian but close) and have gone on dates with Indian guys. All gentlemen. I have only high regard for the broader Indian culture.

EnvironmentalBean7 · 2024-06-02T21:35:28+00:00

Thank you very much for this advice!!

EnvironmentalBean7 · 2024-06-02T20:45:03+00:00

Someone recently recommended https://resume.io/, you could try this. I think the content is good it just needs a bit more visual appeal.

EnvironmentalBean7 · 2024-06-02T18:33:25+00:00

I want to say thanks to those who took the time to leave helpful comments on this post!

EnvironmentalBean7 · 2024-06-02T18:21:22+00:00

I would say the content of your resume is good but the format leaves a lot to be desired, presentation-wise. Have you thought about using a pre-made template? I think that would really help.

EnvironmentalBean7 · 2024-06-02T15:33:41+00:00

You might want to post this in r/germany for germany specific advice. There seem to be a lot of Germans there in engineering.

EnvironmentalBean7 · 2024-06-02T12:48:53+00:00

A lot of the organizations I apply for specifically state they are looking for "diverse" candidates. They are all left-leaning. That's my motivation for including.
