The best part of the internship was interacting with stakeholders and getting to know the business insights. Though it was a virtual internship for a short period of 8 weeks, my projects demanded interaction with the entire HR team across locations in India and I was able to do so. The entire team was so generous and helpful and insights from the entire team was a great value addition and helped me achieve my goals.
If I talk about LEAR’s culture, I never had to think twice before approaching my mentor or HR functional heads. Everyone was so supportive and always open to patiently listen to my ideas and guide me in the right direction. LEAR’s culture is really friendly and I felt connected and belonged to the organization.
My key takeaways from this internship would be:
a. To always break down your entire project into small achievable weekly goals and try to accomplish them as planned.
b. Your ideas must always be relevant, always back your solutions and suggestions with examples and industry practices.
c. Keep your mentor/guide always informed about the direction you are working in, because it may so happen that you research and work too much on a particular suggestion but it is not fit for the organization.
I have a few suggestions for the upcoming batch of 2020-22. Whatever you learn during the entire first year, just make sure to follow practical implications of every concept. Keep upskilling yourself, follow HR trends and articles and always stay industry-relevant.
My internship with Lear was my first step in contributing to the HR fraternity, it was indeed a memorable experience!
