I have realized that it is very hard to find a job as a student. Even a simple intership can be stressful to find. I am currently studying Public Relations at the University of Johannesburg and in order for me to graduate I need to do work integrated learning through an internship program. A lot of companies don't understand how stressful it is to find placement. I think a lot of students like me do not expect permanent positions but rather appreciate it if we were given the opportunity to get some form of experience through internships and temporary jobs. I plead to companies and industries to be considerate to us students, and understand where we come from, especially in this new era where we are required to have work experience to be able to be employed.
