Summer Internship is often the gateway to the world of corporate for many MBA students, to associate with top brands of the world and to be a part of the legacy of some of the finest global organisations. While the focus of the summer internship narratives is on the project that was given to them, how the interns went about it, and how the mid and final reviews panned out, my takeaway from the summer internship was much more about the feeling of organisational unity and smooth interpersonal dynamics between my colleagues and me. During my eight week stint as a Human Resources Summer Intern with Citi, there was one thing that I realised almost instantly: once you give your job your best, everybody around you (in office/in different locations/in different business subsidiaries) does everything they can to help you out. To subtly quote JK Rowling, “Help will always be given at Citi to those who ask for it.” Usually, summer interns are a bunch of nerves before they join mammoth organisations such as mine, across sectors, and across geographies. The individual accountability during a summer internship is immense, and more often than not, if looked at from a bird’s eye view, this responsibility can be very overwhelming. At the same time, there is nothing that can make you learn more about your domain (and yourself) than having a practical work experience via the summer internship route. In hindsight, I see the ups and downs of my internship: and there is one factor that stands as a constant – the support that I received from all my senior colleagues during the entire two-month experience. As the MBA batches of 2021 have come in across B-schools in the country, I am actively addressing their concerns and queries regarding preparation for the summer internships, and here are some things that a summer intern like you and me must keep in mind before entering into an organisation: (Purely based out of personal experiences and learning.) A summer internship is the right time to be open to experimentation and a willingness to learn: be vocal, ask for the organisation’s support, and give it your best! Unnecessary pressure can only harm your efficiency at work. Think about giving it your optimum, regardless of the result, and just hope for the best!
