This is super cute Cassandra, I had the privilege to meet Rob as well last year at school so I can say with confidence this probably had meant just as much to him as it did to you, such a sweet guy with a heart of gold. You are both doing so well and come such a long way, your mom would be proud

stay strong!

Comment on You don’t deserve to be hired if you don’t have that “thing” by Erin

I love this post, Cassandra! I completely agree with you. I’m also definitely guilty of feeling the “Gen Y entitlement” you reference – and am consciously trying to become more realistic and work harder to achieve my goals, rather than expect to receive positive feedback regardless of the quality of work I’ve produced in an internship.

I don’t think your perspective is harsh at all, and instead, very useful for young people to read. It’s also important for interns to remember that every bit of work experience is worthwhile, and just because you’re not hired by the company of your choice does not mean you should be discouraged. Hard work will pay off eventually!

Comment on How do you know when your high expectations are too high? by Roman

I disagree that your expectations are too high, in fact when hiring someone for a position you need to have high expectations or at the very least an assurance that when the time comes they can meet your expectations. Hiring a person is all about finding the right person, and the right person would be the person who fits all your expectations however high they may be. Then again it may also be the person who comes closest to meeting your expectations as well, not everyone is amazing at everything right?

Just because the world works a certain way does not mean you should let it dictate your choices. Eventually someone will appear that will make the world shudder to a brief halt, and then you know you have the person you want!

Hope this helps! Good Luck.
