One of the interns asked, "Rohit, how should I decide if I want a PPO at the organization (provided I am offered one)?" Firstly, I appreciated that the intern had the courage to ask a question typically avoided when addressing seniors in any organization. My answer encompassed three key factors - 1. Compensation - Compare the average package offered on campus vs provided by the organization being interned in. Additionally, assess the risk and reward of rejecting a pre-placement offer (PPO) in light of the current market downturn 2. Nature of Work - Evaluate whether the work being offered is something they would genuinely feel motivated and content to engage with daily. Additionally, consider if this industry aligns with their long-term career aspirations. 3. Culture - Understand if this culture and its people align best with their personality. Ultimately, the deciding factors could be one or a combination of the above. Also, the priority order of the factors could vary from one person to the other. The fact that they have reached the level where they are interning with such a prestigious organization is a testament to their abilities. No matter the decision made, they will have countless opportunities to succeed in life, whether with this organization or elsewhere Did I miss any factor? Let me know in the comments.

🎓How do we create more ways for grads to enter the working world? ✨Congratulations to these grads for their acceptance into the MultiChoice Group Graduate Programme 2023! The competition was incredibly fierce, having received over 5000 applications for this. The hardest part is having to "say no" to so many talented and capable applicants. It is Intern Collab’s Mission to encourage businesses (no matter the size) to create opportunities for younger people to get experience and start their careers. There are a few ways you can do this -  ↳ Hire graduates!  ↳ Set up internship programmes within your business  ↳ Support businesses that do hire graduates Working with graduates offers a breath of fresh air to stale problems. The rules have changed. In a digital world where 16-year olds make millions overnight, interns add significant value. They offer an opportunity to tackle business problems inventively and imaginatively. 💬 What are your thoughts on the hiring of interns? Fanelesibonge Mbuyazi Kutlo Mogorosi Thibedi Phathela

It's disheartening to see companies overlook the potential of new graduates, denying them paid internships despite their lack of experience. This unfair treatment puts recent students at a disadvantage. I believe companies should give fresh graduates without experience a chance to prove themselves. By offering opportunities to these individuals, companies not only promote diversity and inclusion but also benefit from the fresh perspectives and innovative thinking they bring to the table. It's crucial for organizations to reassess their hiring practices and recognize the valuable contributions that inexperienced graduates can make to their teams and industries. #freshgraduates #softwarehouses #inexperiences

🤯 Tell me, that it is me who is going crazy 🥴 About a year ago, I was studying abroad in Malaysia and started thoroughly researching software engineering internships for when I returned home. I ended up applying to 20 companies in Denmark, but faced rejection and an extreme lack of response from several companies, amongst Nets Denmark, Nordea, Capgemini, SoftPay, HBK, and Royal Unibrew just to name a few. To put it briefly, out of the 20 companies I applied to, I only received a response (including rejections) from 6 of them. To me, it’s outrageous that just 1 out of 4 companies bother to reply to applicants who have put in a significant amount of time and effort into researching the company and writing a well-written application? I found myself feeling confused and frustrated, trying to understand why my emails were met with complete and utter silence. While I understand that companies are busy and competition is tough nowadays, it wouldn't be too difficult for them to set up an auto-reply email for applicants who have reached out two months ago, stating, “Sorry, we cannot fulfill your request, but we wish you the best.” I know this because I have implemented something like this on my own, and it only took a day to set up! However, amidst the disappointments, I remembered my interaction with Schneider Electric (unbiased opinion). They were responsive and willing to have a quick chat to assess my potential. They even replied to my email within 3 days, which was completely unheard of for me at that time. I ended up securing an internship at Schneider Electric, and currently I am writing my thesis with them. I couldn't have asked for a better opportunity. This experience has forced me to highlight the issue of lack of response to internship- and or general applicants when speaking to other young people who are also searching for internships at software companies. Somehow, we are forgotten amidst the flood of emails and phone calls. This is something that needs to change if we want to attract and retain talented applicants who can contribute to our companies on a day-to-day basis.

"Anishka, ever wondered if there's a sweet spot in time to apply for internships?" As a college student, time is of the essence to us, so why waste time? Let's dive into the internship game with the art of timing! 🚀 Smart Research Matters: Identify the hiring style usually of companies:- (i) Regular Hiring Companies (ii) Hiring in peak seasons, like summer, winter or spring internships. Before applying, understand their recruitment cycles and if they have a soft spot for certain months. 🚀 Strategically Planning: We all love landing opportunities right after semester exams, but the key is to plan smartly. Aim to apply at least 1 month before as the application process takes time. 🚀 Networking for the Win: Some giants like Nestle, HUl, Deloitte etc usually hire interns through their annual competitions, like Nesternship, and Deloitte GSM. In this case, connect with professionals in these companies or who already participated in past to get a better understanding. . . Remember, it's not just about the application it's about applying smartly! LinkedIn | LinkedIn for College Students #internships #LinkedIn #students

🌟 Exciting News: Shared My American Express Summer Internship Interview Experience! 🌟 Hey LinkedIn fam! 👋 Just dropped a blog detailing my American Express summer internship interview journey. 🚀 Here's a quick glimpse: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/g67a9WBZ My Journey: In my second year, I began learning DSA. At times, when I struggled to approach problems, I would become disheartened too quickly. However, I'd advise against succumbing to that feeling. My intensive journey to secure a summer internship commenced in May, as I started receiving notifications about upcoming internship opportunities. I practiced DSA using the Striver's sheet and refreshed my computer science fundamentals through InterviewBit . I began participating in online assessments. Despite successfully solving all the questions and passing all test cases, I faced rejections and couldn't advance to the interview stage. I made a strong comeback and eventually succeeded in securing a position at American Express . Lesson learnt: I learned during this process is to never fear rejection, as it's an integral part of life. Always hold onto the belief that the best you deserve is on its way, and you'll attain it in the end. Special thanks to Manan Bansal , Pratyush Jaiswal and Mansi Garg for trusting me throughout the process and always motivating me . #AmericanExpress #InternshipJourney #NewBeginnings Can't wait to connect and share more.
