She shares the problems she faced in finding a job<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> despite\u00a0her qualifications and tells how a virtual internship helped her\u00a0rebuild\u00a0her career.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">At quite an early stage in my life, I discovered that I wanted to pursue a career in teaching. So, after completing my bachelors in Hindi, I started teaching in a nearby school. Then, I completed my masters and worked as a TGT Hindi professor in Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya, Nagaland. So much was my interest in the field that I also\u00a0did\u00a0B.Ed later on. However, as luck would have it, my family fixed my marriage, and I\u00a0had to return home.\u00a0This put\u00a0an end\u00a0to my teaching career. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">I got married and came to Ghaziabad with my husband. The city was in\u00a0stark contrast to Assam, my hometown. Adjusting to the culture and climate of the city, I couldn\u2019t find time to restart my career. Once I got familiar with this <em>Gateway of UP<\/em>, I started looking for jobs. I applied to a few schools and was called for interviews too; however, I couldn\u2019t land a job because apparently, I needed to be proficient in English too\u00a0for teaching\u00a0Hindi! As\u00a0I do not speak English, all my efforts went in vain. By this time, I had given birth to my first child and was\u00a0busy looking after him. Fast forward six years, my son didn\u2019t need focused attention and I had some spare time. So my husband encouraged me to get back to work and regain my independence. I had my inhibitions about this; I couldn\u2019t gather how I would proceed with something that I had left 8 years ago. My husband suggested that I start my own business but I knew that it would require extreme focus and time. Also, being in a nuclear family, it wasn\u2019t feasible for me to step out of the house to work.\u00a0That&#8217;s when\u00a0my friend introduced the concept\u00a0of virtual jobs\u00a0to me. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Thrilled by the idea, I began my hunt for online jobs and landed on Internshala. I found out that this was a platform which provided internship opportunities across various fields, so I registered on it and made my resume. I was quite apprehensive about getting an internship\u00a0that required proficiency in the Hindi language. Thankfully, I was proved wrong! Of the ample opportunities I found in my desired profile, I applied to an editing internship at <strong>Inventia Business Solutions Private Limited<\/strong>. My skills were aligned with their requirements, so I was shortlisted for it. They inquired about the availability of internet and computer at my place and extended the offer thereafter. Since I was a rookie in this field, they provided me a with a practice session for 15 days wherein I had to pick significant news excerpts from different news websites and compose them in 80-100 words, ensuring that there was no grammatical error. I had to prepare 30 articles in a day and submit them in two slots. I quickly grasped the concept and began my internship. Currently, I am working at\u00a0the company\u00a0as a news editor for their Hindi audio news app,\u00a0<em>Khabri<\/em>. It\u2019s been 5 months of delight and independence so far!<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">The best part about this internship is that I do not have to go out of my house to work. Along with taking care of the needs of my family, I stay updated with the worldwide news. I thank Internshala for bringing out such meaningful internships and helping people resume their career. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Are you also struggling to pursue a career in the field of your interest?
