The one key learning from this internship was to always have an open mind and to constantly think if something can be done better, while always questioning the purpose of a task as you are going along with it. EY, as a company always wants an individual to think of why first and then how and bring your individuality on the table. Because of this belief, I was able to learn better and grow as an individual.
Another element that helped me perform well in my internship was perseverance, something that I have learned during the first year of my MBA. SCMHRD has instilled ‘an always give your best, no matter the circumstances’ belief in me. Even the ongoing pandemic and the internship being virtual, I used to go on with my day thinking that no matter what happens, I will give it my best each day of the 6 weeks that I was working with EY.
After having completed a year of my MBA and my summer internship I believe, no matter which company one does an internship with, one should always question the why before one jumps into it. Asking the right questions at the right time provides more clarity in terms of the direction of the project and better results at the end. The approach that I followed during my internship was to talk to others that have worked or interned in the same domain and at the same time to reach out to experts of any subject matter, relevant to my project, on LinkedIn.
