My Learnings From An Internship

Following my plan of working in a company as a trainee, or as an intern was finally put into action, when I had taken up an internship in a start-up company before two months. The total internship period was of two months, and I was selected after undergoing a rigorous selection process, in which there were more than 20 students who were screened. I had done this internship during my summer vacations, and now the final year of my graduation has commenced.

While selecting the internship, I primarily focused on the learnings that I would be able to extract out of the same and not on the money part. Many of my other friends were just looking for a Paid Internship in India, and didn’t prefer the ones which only gave a small amount of stipend. But I, on the other hand was not interested behind just running after the paid summer internship in Delhi, and agreed for doing this internship at just a stipend of Rs. 3,000 per month.

I learned a lot by working in the company in which I took an internship in. My friends also realized that, when they compared my learnings with theirs after the internship period ended. This was the point that they also realized that there is no point in just running after the paid internship, but learning is what counts the most.

As my company for internship in Delhi was a startup company, they didn’t have separate departments or huge teams for handling the various operations of the country. The total strength of the company was of 6 members, and it was these three members, who handled everything. By working with them, I also got a chance to do everything. The team of members led by their dynamic promoter motivated me in all the aspects and also taught me all the things that I was not aware of. Secondly, the challenges that the company was facing as a startup were humongous! Being able to face those challenges required great dedication, will power, commitment and wits. We all were inspired by our leader and by directly working under the promoter (who was also the owner of the company), I was able to not only explore my potential to the fullest, but I was also able to develop the right kind of dynamism along with an improved personality. I would really like to thank the online portal www.makeintern.com, which had actually helped me to get linked up with such a great company. I can surely say that with the kind of an approach they have they certainly have very bright career prospects. 

My Learning Experience During Summers!

I am that kind of a person, who is totally focused towards studies. After completing my first year in graduation, I was more or less clear with my career prospects. The second year then, was totally dedicated towards studies by me, and I hardly took part in any extracurricular activities in the college or elsewhere.  But after the year was just about to get over, and the vacations begin, one of my very close friends suggested me to pursue a Summer Internships, during the summer break. At first, I was not that overwhelmed with her thought and didn’t give much importance to it. But then she started explaining me the importance of doing one and she also narrated me with her experience, when she had done it the previous year. This was a point when I started becoming more attracted towards doing a Summer Internship, and started discussing the prospects with her.

After getting a comprehensive idea from my friend, I also communicated about the same with my professors. They too insisted me to join a company where I could get something to learn in the field in which I was planning to make my career in. They also explained to me the various advantages that one gets in terms of getting a dynamic experience and exposure of the practical corporate scenario. It was this point, that I had also truly realized that pursuing an Internship is certainly going to help me, and is also going aid me in my career ahead.

After getting convinced, I started searching for internship opportunities in both start-up, as well as the big MNC's. But to my surprise, I was stunned to find out the kind of difficulties that I was facing to get a proper internship of my choice that I could join during my summer vacations. But it is said, that if you try with an open heart, then success definitely comes your way. And this is what happened as well. While browsing through the internet one day, I came across an online portal, which was running by the name of MakeIntern. This is a website that links the students and other professionals who are searching for internships to the companies who are providing the same. I posted my resume on this website, and in no time at all, I was able to contact numerous companies across the city, which were providing Summer Internship Program in my domain. MakeIntern was able to ease out my process of finding the Internship and now I also recommend the same to my friends!
