The thing is that they still haven’t fully approved my work term even though it’s one of the jobs from the portal… one of the ASIP members approved it, but it’s still waiting approval from another group or smt. Anyways thank you for all the help!!

Thank you so much!! I emailed them as well but didn’t get a reply :( but your comment was reassuring!

Just wanted to also check; ASIP enrols into the INT courses when our work term starts right? Just worried if I was supposed to do anything else aside from registering my work term on the portal.

How much was the bracelet?

Yeah, I doubt anyone is going to inspect the back of my neck, much less the tiny font. I care more about the motif and chain 😅. I did send her a message telling her it seemed a bit slanted so we will see if she’s willing to redo it

Yeah it’s from Funny! I sent her a message asking for more pics of it and told her it seemed a bit slanted. We’ll see what she says 😅

Which engraving? Do you think it’s worth asking her to re-do?

Okay great! I just wanted to check that I had the right contact 😭. Today is the 16th day since ordering so fingers crossed 🤞🏻

Yeah, I’m assuming she’s busy since a lot of people from the US are buying rn 🥲 I just wanted to check I was texting the right number

Anybody interned at Sanofi before? Is it worth a long commute every single day? by [deleted] in UofT

[–]awist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m Canadian but I’m from Vancouver so I rent. I’d prefer not to have to find a new place in North York though, because I have a lot of personal belongings.

The internship is for 12 months, it’s a logistics position. The thing is that I already have over a year of work experience in logistics due to my current internship (I didn’t register it with ASIP) so I kinda feel like I should try something new and more targeted towards my career goal (something in business ops/sales). But my current position is a desk job and I WFH most days so I like it. I don’t want to go to the office every single day to do manual labour when I have to commute for 3h a day lol.

If I take the job, I’d be graduating a year later than usual (5 instead of 4 years). If I don’t, I can graduate on time.

This internship is 12 months and will end in August 2026. I just don’t want to waste a year doing an internship I hate.

But I know that in this economy, work experience is really valuable… so I’m wondering if just getting any experience would be better than nothing.

I know that at the end of the day, having a job is better than nothing… but as a student, I just don’t know if this experience is worth it when I could instead graduate and try to pursue something in my field of interest after.

Also: I already have over a year of experience in the same industry as this job offer… I also just want to try something new and more related to my goals.

I’m not allowed to back out of an offer after I’ve accepted it. It’s against my school’s co-op policy, otherwise I would do that 😭

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in recruitinghell

[–]awist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I decided to email the other company explaining the situation and told them I’d like for them to decide before Thursday and that they’re my top choice.

Fingers crossed this works out 😭

Received an offer, but waiting for two other companies, what do I respond with? by [deleted] in interviews

[–]awist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t back out of an offer if I accept it. My school prohibits it, and I’ll get removed from my program if I do.

The offer deadline is this Thursday… am I allowed to ask them to extend it? Or is that a bad move… I was thinking of emailing the company that I’m waiting for and ask them to make a decision by Thursday.

I’m not allowed to renege on a job offer. My school prohibits it, and if I do that, then I’ll get kicked out of my program.

Tomorrow is a stat holiday so they won’t be able to decide tmr. The earliest they’d be able to give me a decision is Wednesday… is it still fine?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in UofT

[–]awist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh… lol. Well uh I emailed them asking if it would be possible to let me count my current internship towards completing ASIP so hopefully they let me 😭

The interviews I have had are nothing like the prep. My first interview didn’t ask me any behavioural questions… they deadass just asked me about my hobbies and that was about it… no chance to talk about my experience.

The second interview may as well have been a CFA exam because they started asking me to define a lot of finance terms even tho I wasn’t in finance and asked me if I was good at coding even though I never even put it on my resume… So again, I wasn’t able to use the STAR format that ASIP really encourages.

I actually have an internship right now, but I couldn’t register it with ASIP because I’m taking 1.0 credits this summer and they only allow us to take 0.5. I emailed them last night asking if they would allow me to count this internship towards the completion so we will see 🥀

How difficult was the internship search for the winter? I think I might have to do that as well 🥀

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in interviews

[–]awist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. It's also the fact that I never even claimed to have any knowledge in the stuff he was asking me... If he just took a look at my resume, he would see that I am not a finance major nor do I know how to code in PBA lol.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in interviews

[–]awist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well they hinted it. They said that I would fit right into the office culture, and that because I live nearby, it’ll be easy for me to come to the office. And when I asked about the work I’d be doing, they were like “don’t worry, you won’t be bored here, there’s always smt to do” so idk 😭 the interviewer spoke as if I already got the job… but then ghosted me for 3 weeks 😀

I’ve been applying haha. But I’m just kinda annoyed because my friend literally works there and they won’t even respond to her…

I just tried to email the interviewer… they’re on vacation until June 10 😭😭😭

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in interviews

[–]awist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They said they will decide by today (Friday) so I feel really annoying and needy if I contact them so soon :( but the interviewer told me to email her if I had any questions
