My summer internship experience
Being a fresher I was eager to gain work experience in some form or the other. As soon as the process at my campus started I wanted to get placed. But I wanted to keep my options open. Hence, I reached out to my sister who was working at an NBFC in Kolkata. She asked her boss and the HR at the company if there was a vacancy for an MBA Intern. Although the request was placed well in advance, the company was willing to have a look at my resume. After sending across my resume and a couple of follow ups, I received my offer letter. I was offered the position of a trainee in the core treasury department of Magma Fincorp Ltd. The company was headquartered in Kolkata and that’s where I had to intern. The good thing was I was getting the chance to Intern from my city and live comfortably once again with my parents for a period of 2 months. However, I was not offered any stipend, something I had to come to terms with when compared to my fellow batch-mates who were all getting paid internships.
