How I Discovered My True Calling With Internshala

By- Internshala

25th March, 2020

I was in my third semester when I realised that I didn’t want to become an engineer. What I hadn’t realised yet was what I did want to be. I knew that I needed to make my resume attractive, but I had no idea where or how to start.

"

"That’s when my cousin came to my rescue and told me that internships are a great way to add to one’s resume."

Having done two internships himself, he recommended Internshala to me, and I registered on the platform. In my confusion and cluelessness, I sifted through the platform, applied for non-technical internships and hoped for the best.

Joining Internshala

Getting An Internship!

After four months of struggle and patience, the clouds finally parted. After my profile was shortlisted, I was directly hired for a market research internship at Kriger Campus, a mobile-based education network.

My ideas were appreciated and implemented which encouraged me. My performance during this internship gave me confidence and clarity about what I was truly interested in, and that’s when I decided to pursue market research.

Shifting Career

Learning From Internships

My four internships completely rebranded my skill set and gave my career a direction. When I first started looking for internships, I didn’t know what to pursue, so I worked in various fields before realising that I wanted to do market research.

All these experiences also taught me to persevere and believe in myself, and I’m thankful to Internshala for making this possible.
