U sure u wanna do marketing?
Cos it seems u can't even market yourself

Do improvise ur resume and ur interview skills
Marketing jobs require creative minds, just out some creativity to the design on ur resume and make it stand out (ie; some nice graphics or template design of the resume)

Think out of the box, literally face palm seeing these kind of posts

TBH now it's the last quarter so there won't be much openings and movements because most people are waiting for their aws.

I feel that if by the end of this month there is no news, you can take up the internship and while you are at it you can still jobhunt at the same time. Firstly, to keep you occupied and try to earn some experience (be it useful or not) and also to earn some allowance.

By the way, did any company get back or offer you any internships?

Hi, fyi, i did thought of this, its just that i believe a resume should be a piece of formal document with minimal graphics.

I have just sent so am still awaiting if there would be any replies.

Won't it make more sense to do temp jobs that are paid by the hour than waste time on some boliao fake internship that dont learn anything?

Retail sector is shortage of manpower now, every outlet is putting out ads to hire retail assistants on $7-$9/hr or $1600+ per month. These jobs seem better paid and provide real exposure to working as long as you are willing to work shift and do some real dirty ops work.

If I'm a hiring manager, I would appreciate people with more real life exp in the retail sector than some graduate guy who cannot get a job and take up some $700 internship doing admin/filing work.

A graduate with a 5 month unemployment gap follow by a short term internship is a disaster for the CV... I agree with others who ask you to take up temp/sales/retail jobs first.
