Harry, let me get this straight: your headline is "First Year Accounting and Finance Student @ The University of Exeter?" Really? That's the best you could do? I didn’t know there was a competition for the most boring LinkedIn headline, but congratulations, you just won first place. How about we spice it up a bit? Maybe "Aspiring Accountant Still Trying to Use 'Excel' Without Crying"? You’re at the bottom of the corporate ladder and already boasting about your future internships like they’re trophies you’ve won. Enjoy your "year in industry," because by the looks of it, all you’re going to get is a complimentary coffee.
And your “About” section? It reads like it was pulled from a motivational poster at a community college. “Broaden my experiences and open a wider network of doors”? What, do you also have a vision board of corporate finance success with cut-out magazine pictures? The only internships you're going to land with that drivel are ones that involve filing papers because no one wants to "break through" when they’re busy fighting the urge to break into laughter at your overzealous optimism. Plus, a staggering 20 followers? Even your mom isn't convinced you’re an industry titan in the making.
💀 Honestly, Harry, if you're still "pursuing relevant internships" in 2025, you might want to reconsider if a degree in accounting is genuinely your calling... or maybe just stick to organizing your sock drawer at Boots.
