SUMMER INTERNSHIP AFTER BOARDS

As the XII board exams of every student end he/she will start dreaming about how they are going to spend their summer holidays. Most of them plan to go on the trip and explore various places but in all this they are ignoring their career. One should not only spend all of his/her vacations having fun only but should also become concern about their career and should find some internships to get practical knowledge about their concerned stream.

WHAT IS AN INTERNSHIP?

Internship means an opportunity given by an employer to students interested in gaining work experience from a particular industry they are interested in. Internships are mostly for 3-6 months.

Interns are supervised by professionals in the field.

Internships develop leadership skills and also helps to get along with the team raising the cooperation level.

Interns can view the workplace and get alongside with the professionals in chosen area and see if it matches expectations.

There are number of online web sites available where you can apply for the internship. LinkedIn, Internshala, Internmatch are some of the famous websites where you can apply for internships.

Another way of getting an internship is from the training and placements cells established at schools and colleges.

Benefits of internship:

Internship is very beneficial for students who still have to go to college as it will enhance their knowledge about their field and moreover it is helpful in deciding the which field we want to choose in their concerned stream like a commerce student can decide whether he wants to join field of marketing , finance, human resource management and operations.

•  Internships are helpful as they help students getting work experience before actually they go out        to find the job.

•  It helps students to explore the path they want to choose in their career as it is helpful  so they can     choose further studies/courses according to their field of interest.

•  Internships help students in exploring the hidden talents in them and developing their skills.

•  It is also helpful from the financial point of view as in paid internships students will be able to             handle their own expenses and will reduce their dependability on their parents.

•  Internship in a well reputed company will help the interns to get into a network of professionals        in the field.

•  Internships help in gaining confidence and improves communication skills.

•  Interns can also convert their internship into a job if the employer offers them so.

•  Internships are also helpful in boosting the CV of a student as skills and experience will add up.

•  As we know internships are for shorter period of time so it will act as a testing path for the career       the one wishes to choose.

•  Internships are also beneficial when you are next time into an interview and will show your                  potential to next employer.

So rather than wasting the time of laptop playing games and watching movies all the time one should go out and find a path for their career.

Still undecided about your career?

The common degrees for commerce students are BBA and B.COM. Each student either prefers B.COM or BBA for their career. The graduates with these same skills or rather I should say with same degrees are enormous in number and the job opportunities are less for the same theoretical students.

This issue leads to massive unemployment. As, the same skill is required by less Companies.

So, to keep your leg above others

Or

To place a cherry on top of your cake

you should do something extra for your career. By doing something extra for your career, your resume will definitely add an extra point which will lift your weightage in an interview.

Some courses you can do along with your BA, B.COM and BBA are as follows :-

DIPLOMA IN HR & ADMINISTRATION: Human resource means a lot in a company and also covers every stage of employment. An organization cannot build a good team of working professionals without good human resources. If you can spare 3 months’ time you can do certification in any module- Recruitment, Payroll, Training and Development, Performance Management or Office Administration.

In a country as big as India there is still a very  large  population who  are not using the benefits of banking. (typically, the population that is below the poverty line) who’s banking needs are addressed by specialized institutions like micro finance companies.

Soft Skills: Soft Skills are character traits and interpersonal skills that characterize person’s relationships with other people. It is more to do with who people are, rather than what they know. In the workplace, soft skills are considered a complement to hard skills, which refer to person’s knowledge and occupational skills. Soft skills are related to personal effectiveness, social influence and creativity. It is a collection of powerful professional skills such as communication & interpersonal, leadership, negotiating, public speaking, time management and influencing that are notoriously difficult to master.

MBA SEASON: WHY SHOULD I APPLY FOR SAE 2017?

Hahahaha, MBA Season. Every other Sunday there is an entrance exam and all the final year students gather and sit for an entrance exam. Many a times they apply just for practice or to test themselves. This leads to wastage of money and moreover precious time and energy is lost, which could have been utilized on exams which were more relevant for them.

Moreover, even after MBA, jobs are limited and average salaries have decreased. Even a MBA is treated as a graduate fresher.

In such a case applying for SAE 2017, being conducted by RMS: a training hub of TISS-SVE, for its management programs may prove to very beneficial for students who are sure they want to do a corporate job and progress in the same.

SAE is relevant not only because certification is by TISS-SVE but because it brings out your potential and focus on teaching practical skills. This is done through focus on soft skills and On Job Training/Internship. In the first year itself, students have been selected for internship at The Lalit, Fortis Healthcare, Max Hospitals and J.W. Marriott.

Further it is a relatively easier exam. There are just 5 sections: logical reasoning, decision making, current affairs, reading comprehension and error spotting. There is no negative marking. So someone who is not good at Maths can also apply for this.

Career Sense Check – Are you Heading in the Right direction?

At times it’s a good idea to sit back, reflect on life a little and figures out whether the career pathway we’re on still makes sense. Is it the right thing for us to be doing with our working day? Gone are the days when we used to follow the footsteps of one’s father in India. Now, life is very complex and these are the days of specialization. There is an infinite variety of professions and jobs, which may lead one to confusion and bewilderment. It makes the choice of a career all the more difficult.

Education is the harbinger of the modern era and is the basis for rational and logical thinking. It has brought in huge benefits for the people across every nook and corner of the globe.

Not all of us are lucky enough to be working or studying in the fields that we really enjoy. In India more accepted and therefore preferred education streams were medicine and engineering. Not much attention was given to where the interest or the competence of the individual lay. As the Indian economy and the job market in the country began to open up, parents and their wards became aware of a more diverse set of career choices. Role models in sports and other off beat careers began to emerge. More choices always come with more questions and more confusion. Deciding a career boils down to assessing 3 primary requirements: Understanding ones interests, Determining financial feasibility, Gauging future prospects.. A student’s interests, strengths and personality play a big part in determining which careers will provide them with the most personal satisfaction.

In the changing world scenario with regard to industry and the job market, there is now an overpowering need for skilled workers. Today, the world and India need a skilled workforce. If we have to promote the development of our country then our mission has to be `skill development’ and `Skilled India’.We also want to create a pool of young people who are able to create jobs and the ones who are not capable of creating jobs and do not have the opportunities; they must be in a position to face their counterparts in any corner of the world.
