IMPORTANCE OF INTERNSHIP IN YOUR CARRIER.

Internships are the most important part of a student’s life. But, do they prepare for cracking a good internship? The answer is no. Why is this so? Because most of the graduates or professional students are busy preparing for their final placements, ignoring the stepping stone of their career. And even if people prepare for internships, they mess up in the middle getting no clue about how to proceed. As a result, they screw up in the interviews.

This problem arises because people have no prior information on how the internship galaxy works. We have seen students of finance applying for marketing internships and students of ITs end up doing sales. This is due to a lack of planning and guidance. And this reflects clearly in the interviews as well.

For example, if an HR of a marketing company asks a finance student what’s your strengths and weaknesses, the candidate starts telling how strong he or she is in finance. Believe me, a marketing HR is least interested in how well you balance the balance sheet. The interviewer expects you to tell your strengths and weaknesses in marketing. The interviewers expect you to market yourself in front of them but unfortunately, you end up marketing the wrong product. This is not because a finance guy is applying for a marketing job. This is because the candidate doesn’t know how to intimidate the interviewer.

Human nature is to dream about getting success, but they forget that to become successful they need strategies that will lead them to the finishing line. An internship is one of those strategies that will buy you the best placements. And to make this strategy effective the candidate has to crack the hardest of the internship interview panels. So, it is very much important that students prepare for the interviews well. There is no room for common mistakes in interviews. And lesser the error you make, the higher is the chance to stand out of the crowd.

Minimizing errors will make you a perfect product but interviewers want a unique product with perfection. And for this, you have to structure your critical thinking and frame ideal answers to each question. The HR recruiters will always try to bombard you with tricky questions. But after mastering the required skills it won’t be difficult for you to impress any hardened interview panel.

The candidates must remember before writing an essay we have to master the grammar. Just like that before starting our professional career we have to master the skills to run our work-life smoothly. And internships help us to learn those skills. It is not only important to choose a good internship but also an internship that will help in the long run. The students must not do a particular internship to get their names imprinted in the letter of recommendation. They must do an internship to get the skills imprinted for lifelong.
