Own Thoughts #1 | Internship Insecurities

I'm 21, currently in my Year 3 studies in University. In this semester break, my plan is to search and prepare myself for my upcoming internship. I want to do my internship internationally. Specifically, in China. This is because all the best Supply Chain and Logistics Systems are great there. I want to see it and be a part of it.

Stress-free smile before I had this insecurities.

During this search and sending resumes to companies, I constantly felt like..
I started too early to send CVs and Letters to the companies that I've applied.
I am not capable to be selected by great companies.
I am still too young for this fast moving experience working world.
I don't have any values to offer (internationally).

These led me to have high insecurities.

None of my classmates want to do it internationally --- Because it's safer to do it locally.
My grades CGPA weren't good enough --- Good grades open more doors for opportunities.
Zero experience in my field of study --- I could only imagine the scenario of the theories.
Old in age, young in real life experience --- Family were too loving to set me free.
Not just low in knowledge based values, monetary values too.

Common Stuff you search in Google,

1. There are many websites provides opportunities to go internship overseas, but it requires expensive advance payment (in USD), and it caters more for Westerners to go Asia. I'm already an Asian.

2. There are many websites provides informative guides to prepare yourself for the next phase, but it does not have a perfect manual to follow.

Right now,

I still haven't got any answers from my email. No replies from Whatsapp. Feeling lost and not sure what to do next. The only thing I can continue is to be caught in small amount of anxiety. Of course, best way to reduce these anxiety is to share it to people. I seek out few close people and tell them my anxieties and hopefully they calm me down by sharing their experience and tell me that I was doing fine. These was their reply :-

First person said (Rephrased),

Well the most common procedure is to send it to the HR department. Sometimes it takes very long to reply, Or HR don't reply at all. That's why people usually blasts out resume to multiple companies instead of waiting for one. If both get back to me, I got choice to choose which one I wanna go.

Second person said (Rephrased),

The more you send, the more you feel numb with it. I've waited for 5 weeks for for them to process 2000 over applications, and 3 weeks to process after my interview. So, it's normal to have the waiting period. I'm proud of you that you did it early.

What can I do now?

1. Go get your resume and cover letter being checked.

I had a subject in my university where students are required to prepare one (fake) resume and mock interview. I actually used this chance to make a real perfect one for my future internship and make my tutor go through and guide me what amendments should I make. She said: "There is no right or wrong in a resume, as long it's easy enough for the manager to know you more".

I've also seek help from friends. One helped me to design my resume, it was a REAL confidence booster. Another one pointed my language error and modify my Cover Letter into a nicer version. it was general enough to be sent to all kinds of industry, instead of just focusing on one small industry. I felt more secured, dumb errors are reduced.

2. Just send them

It only take few minutes to do so. "Copy Paste Insert Attachment Send Button. "
The Send button is always the worse one. Go get something to eat once you've pressed the send button. Chocolate will do.

3. Knowing there is nothing called "too Early"
No one knows when is the right time to do anything. By logic, the ones who is always early are the one who receives most respect. So, just do it whenever you think you should.
