The economics company I applied to finally responded after I interviewed with them a week ago. They sent an email about how unfortunate they can't offer me the job right now blah, blah, blah etc. That was...fast. It doesn't really bother me though because quite honestly I didn't expect to get the job much less even get the chance to interview with them. Though I have to wonder if it was because I didn't have what they were looking for or if it was because I screwed up on the telephone interview.
After having no response from pretty much every internship I applied to, I'm changing my strategy. I'm actually removing prior experience to make it seem like I freshly graduated or something. I applied to an entry level marketing analyst position several days ago, just waiting to see if it works. The student accounting jobs I applied to responded and I interviewed with them in the past two days. Like the face to face interviews previously, I didn't experience any nervousness and I think I did okay on them. Strangely, another government job/internship invited me to take an exam to see if I'm a good match. I really don't get what's going on. Apparently I'm absolutely unemployable in the private sector yet I'm desirable in the government sector. Really strange.
Note to self: Keep working on interviews and body language.
