My summer internship experience with JSPL was enriching and important in helping me in developing a career plan for myself. Here are the top four learnings from my summer internship experience are listed below:
· Never take your internship granted as what you will do during this period will decide your career. You should take it seriously and do justice to it. After the hectic schedule at the b-school, students always make a mistake to take it for granted and in the end, during placements they do not have much to deliver. SIP will give you an enriching experience and you will enjoy it if you take it seriously and do justice to this opportunity.
· As I have mentioned above, on the first day, when I met with my mentor, he asked me about my interests and the organization. So I will advise you to go with the complete information about the organization and try to answer the questions-‘Why I am joining this organisation and how it would help me in building my career?’ These questions will help to get clarity on your goals.
· Summer Internship gives you an opportunity to interact with the professionals and learn from them. Don’t consider it just a formality of academic curriculum, try to interact within the organization and build good relationship with them. It would help you in the near future.
· During your summer internship, there will many stages where you feel disappointed thinking that your mentor expects more from you. At that time, just calm down and ask your mentor to guide you. It would help you learn new ways of doing the same work.
In the end, I will say this corporate experience will teach you so many things; there will be many ups and downs. Sometimes, it pulls you out of your comfortable zone but you should remember the expert in anything was once a beginner.
