The wish to dive into English literature has found its way back when I was in standard 10; Internshala opened ways in which I could improvise upon my skills in it. I have had a very sweet and sour experience here. Well, sour in the beginning because all my applications got rejected sooner or later.

I applied for four-five internships all at one go desperately hoping to get selected in any of them. Now, I had one more issue. I was at my hometown Gaya, where there weren\u2019t any options available. The only way was work from home internship.

I have been shortlisted in eight of them in a span of 15 days. My confidence is at par and I\u2019m ready to take up exciting challenges, workload, and experience at Savemonk.

How much time you put into this content?\\nMe (confused whether to say the truth): I started working after 12 am and completed by 2. It took me time doing research on the topic. (Sighing deeply on mentioning the truth)\\nInterviewer: Great. So tell me something about yourself.\\nMe (Hell yeah, I\u2019m feeling comfortable): I\u2019m a computer science student studying in West Bengal. Writing for me is love. I read, write, and take part in literary activities. I usually hunt for new words in free time. And I am here, to improvise upon my skills.\\nInterviewer (A bit impressed): Good. How many such articles can you write in a month for us?\\nMe (I had no idea what to reply): I guess I can write 12. \\nInterviewer: We have a minimum requirement of one article per day. Will you be able to do that?\\nMe (Startled): That means thirty articles a month?\\nInterviewer: Yeah, close to that. The articles will be quite similar to each other, so not much research is required.Me (Not wanting to lose it in any case): My classes are beginning the next week but I do want to take a shot at it. \\nInterviewer: Do you have an idea about SEO?\\nMe: Yeah, I helped some of my seniors while they were hunting for keywords to optimize their webpage to make it distinct from the rest. \\nInterviewer: Okay. So the articles you\u2019ll write will be majorly SEO centric. And you know about our website?\\nMe (smiling): Yeah. I hunted over it all, yesterday. \\nInterviewer: It\u2019s great to know that you are interested. We offer a decent stipend that is subject to increment next month onwards based on your performance.\\nMe: I would compel you to make it twice the next month :P\\nInterviewer: That\u2019s a good spirit to have.

Then, I was interviewed online by one of the employees, an account of which you might enjoy reading.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Interviewer: Hello Hera, I\u2019m from Savemonk.<br \/>\nMe (heart beats getting faster; nervous): Hello Sir, how is the work proceeding?<br \/>\nInterviewer: I went through your article. How much time did you put into this content?<br \/>\nMe (confused whether to answer honestly): I started working after 12 am and completed it by 2 am. It took me some time to do the research on the topic. (Sighing deeply on mentioning the truth)<br \/>\nInterviewer: Great. So tell me something about yourself.<br \/>\nMe (feeling comfortable with the question): I\u2019m a Computer Science student, studying in West Bengal. Writing for me is love. I read, write, and take part in literary activities. I usually hunt for new words in my free time. And I am here to improve upon my skills.<br \/>\nInterviewer (impressed): Good. How many such articles can you write in a month for us?<br \/>\nMe (no idea whatsoever, how to reply to this question): I guess, I can write about 12.<br \/>\nInterviewer: We have a minimum requirement of one article per day. Will you be able to do that?<br \/>\nMe (Startled): That means thirty articles a month?<br \/>\nInterviewer: Yeah, close to that. The articles will be similar to each other. So, not a lot of research work is required.<br \/>\nMe (Not wanting to lose the opportunity): My classes will begin next week, but I want to take a shot at it.<br \/>\nInterviewer: Do you have any idea about SEO?<br \/>\nMe: Yeah, I helped some of my seniors, while they were hunting for keywords, optimize their web page to make it distinct from the rest.<br \/>\nInterviewer: Okay. The articles you\u2019ll write will be SEO centric. Do you know about our website?<br \/>\nMe (smiling): Yeah. I had a look at it, yesterday.<br \/>\nInterviewer: It\u2019s great to know that you are interested. We offer a decent stipend that is subject to increment next month onwards based on your performance.<br \/>\nMe (sarcastically): I would compel you to make it twice next month.<br \/>\nInterviewer: That\u2019s a good spirit to have. I\u2019d get back to you after a discussion with my team.<br \/>\nMe: Sure, Sir.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-sheets-value=\"{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot; Towards the Road to Internships\\n\\n Like a harbinger it came\\n And filled the empty spaces\\n In my barren CV \\n I owe a mighty thanks to Internshala\\n For fueling my passion\\n In Content Writing\\n\\nSo it all began this summer, the game changer of my internship narration. I always had this thing in the back of my head about earning online, getting certificates, beautifying my resume and so on. And guess what, one day I came across one of the world\u2019s leading internships platform- Internshala. I tightened my seatbelt, buckled up my shoelaces to fasten to my dream internships. I filled my Internshala resume, my first ever it was. \\n\\nAlthough I\u2019m a Computer Science undergrad, writing has always been on the pinnacle of my interests. The wish to dive into English literature has found its way back when I was in standard 10; Internshala opened ways in which I could improvise upon my skills in it. I have had a very sweet and sour experience here. Well, sour in the beginning because all my applications got rejected sooner or later. My resume was pathetic, since I had no idea how it was meant to be. Plus I had no work experience; that being the major reason for my despondency. I applied for four-five internships all at one go desperately hoping to get selected in any of them. Now, I had one more issue. I was at my hometown Gaya, where there weren\u2019t any options available. The only way was work from home internship. Not losing my track, I kept striving for any of the content writing work from home internship offer to knock my doors. Bravo! \u2018Shortlisted\u2019 my dashboard read; if only I could explain how lovely that moment was, full of hope and excitement and self-boost. \\n\\nI checked my mail almost every day. Each time I saw my dashboard there was a magical confidence kind of thing shaping up inside of me. After waiting for say a week it finally gave a verdict-\u2018Not selected\u2019. But this does not end here. I rushed to my inbox to see if there was any mail from the company but no, there wasn\u2019t. There was something from Internshala, which till date whispers in my ears to not lose hope, work on my application and apply to more internships. \\n\\nOne thing I\u2018d like to share is that the major force which drove me towards my preferred internship was not merely the stipend, but the learning experience, the perk of getting a certificate, and my love for writing. I wrote a beautiful answer to \u2018why you think you should be hired\u2019 for a content writing internship at AWOHES, a Delhi based NGO. I checked their website and blog posts and though unpaid, it allured me with their work for humanity. The very next day I received a message from the organisation regarding my application. Guess what, now my dashboard read \u2018Hired\u2019. \\n\\nMy journey from \u2018shortlisted\u2019 to \u2018not selected\u2019 to being \u2018hired\u2019 has been phenomenal in ways I have learnt to explore it all. From getting my work published to a great work experience, I had an awesome time working with the team. There are just so many things I learnt that I could talk about. \\nFrom thereon, I edited my resume, build a strong profile and wrote much sincerely on the questions asked in the application. I have been shortlisted in eight of them in a span of 15 days. My confidence is at par and I\u2019m ready to take up exciting challenges, workload, and experience at Savemonk. After being shortlisted, I was asked to write a sample article using the given keywords. I was then interviewed online by one of the employers, an account of which you might enjoy reading.\\n\\nInterviewer: Hello Hera, I\u2019m from Savemonk\\nMe (heartbeats faster\/nervous): Hello Sir, how about the work proceedings?\\nInterviewer: I went through your article.
