In response to "I interviewed with a company today and they practically offered me an internship on the spot." by Hotkiss

Do you have other options or prospects? All I know is I just heard a segment on internship placement companies that are growing fast...

...due to the number of internships not keeping up with the number of applicants... the competition is getting fiercer.

I haven't actually mailed out my resumes yet but I have 5 places I plan on pursuing heavily next week. - Hotkiss Jan 29, 16:40 3
- I would assume the worst. Stay in close communication. And don't be squeamish about accepting it, even if you're 80% sure you'll take something else -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 29, 16:43 2
  - I'd hate to cancel on them (although it's not like there's a deposit fee, I suppose). -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 29, 16:44 1
    - Yeah, it's not the nicest thing to do, but it beats the alternative of waiting too long and ending up with nothing. - Dr.Vermin Jan 29, 16:50
