Applied through an employee referral two years in a row. Second year, applied through multiple employee referrals. Interviewed two weeks before the position was supposed to start and was told I was the only qualified candidate. A week later was told that they were pursuing more qualified candidates. I've spent a lot of time trying to get an internship with this company as they have worked with and helped provide funding for outside projects I have played an influential part in, but an individual who is barely qualified and has a family member working at MOOG gets an internship without even trying. I've been recommended by many current staff and my work has been passed along to higher-ups, and yet individuals who are less qualified are the ones getting the positions.
