    Please people lets not reduce this to "oh no poor me, Im poor and thats the only reason I dont have an internship"...yeah sure if you're not stinking rich you have to work harder and yes, you may not get an internship even if you work your hardest but hey, that's life...deal.

    While it is really great to hear everyone's opinions I am not sure that they are all that accurate..... Firstly, Asia is a pretty big and diverse place so generalizing it is not really fair. I have an internship in Tokyo this summer and to be honest the whole process was totally transparent. Having said that, a lot of it is luck and timing so hang in there and you will find something.

    I agree that there is a distinct lack of opportunities this year for intern hires. I was quite naive about the thing really. I imagined the fact that I had researched the industry since I was about 16, that my academic record and extra curricular activites and responsbilities would secure me interviews at most places yet out of about 10 apps I only got 2 more interviews, one over the phone, and one final round which I didnt secure. I have a lot of friends though, not necessarily rich (nor indeed smart), but who know the right people, who have secured things they didnt even know about before this year.
    I think this year was quite hard, but I am hoping that when it comes to graduate apps, employers will realise this and not expect everyone to have an internship? Any comments on that?

    Also hans, are you looking for students, or for placements?
