Is it okay to apply for internships as a recent graduate?
I recently graduated in May with a B.A. in English, but the job search is feeling very difficult because there doesn't seem to be many openings for the positions I want to do (grant writing or editorial/publishing). There seem to be more internship (paid) listings, some of which are open to recent grads, so I was wondering if it would be a good idea to apply for these internships so that I can at least hopefully earn more experience in the meantime? Or is it better to focus on trying to find a full time job? Thank you.

When should I start applying for jobs as a final year student? What job boards are useful other than linkedin and indeed? Should i pursue my masters degree or work first?
Hi! I'm a student who's just about to begin my final year in Business and Management in England. From those who graduated, in your experience would it be better to go straight into pursuing a Master's degree or to get work experience for a couple of years before getting into that? :) If it's better to get some work experience, I want to know if now is a reasonable time to begin searching for entry-level jobs? Other than Indeed and Linkedin, what are other websites I can apply to?

First Ever Job Interview?
I just thought to share this because I'm extremely worried. So I'm 16 years old, I applied for many fast food restaurants and even retail stores but the only company that got back to me was Jack's. After I applied to them I literally received a message 30 minutes after completing the application to schedule and set up an interview up with them. So the interview I set up took place yesterday, it was my first job interview ever. Didn't know really what to expect and it went like this. So I first got there, was relatively 15 minutes early so I waited then met with the woman who was hiring me I guess. Honestly she looked like a younger employee not a HR manager. So we sat down and she didn't introduce herself at all, she immediately ask for my name, email, and was this my first job, which I thought was normal. Although, the message said to bring my ID and SSN card she didn't even bother to ask for it she immediately begin the interview with the question why do i want to work there. Mind you this interview was scheduled to be 30 minutes it literally only lasted 5-6 minutes she only asked me 2 QUESTIONS which I thought was very weird and a red flag. After that question she asked what days would I be available when school starts, so I gave her the info on that. Then after, she spoke about how they were letting people go because the employees they had would not be working and would often be on there phone and she gave me expectations on what she expects of me I guess. So after that, she said that was all and said the interview was over and that it was all she needed to here. She didn't ask what questions I had or anything she just ended it right then and there and got up. What really confused me is the fact she said she would send paperwork after the interview was over and im not sure what she means by that. I even asked her again will I be expecting a call back for the job offer or paperwork and she stated that I will be receiving paperwork again. Honestly, a no experience kid like me in the workforce, I just said ok and walked out of the store and thought nothing of it. Until it hit me on the way home, how would she send paperwork? Through the mail? What would the paperwork be about? When could I be expecting this paperwork? If i was paperwork why couldn't I do it there? It overall was just very confusing and I thought it was super unprofessional because she even cussed at one moment before we even began the interview. Mind you after all this I still don't even know the woman who was hiring me name. Does this mean I didn't get the job? is this a sign? Can any of you guys please share your opinion on this?
