Down-to-Earth in search for a job?

Through a few short talks with SuHao I get the impression that the job market is extremely competitive, that fact that I have largely ignored up to now since I thought it is not time yet. But the fact that I still havent got an internship may imply that the due attention should be paid now. Somehow more seriously.
But I dont have to join the buzz of those bizad people. Stay clear-minded, alert and go for the right things.
