\"cd38a508-fc34-4e51-bed1-59722d332ddf<\/a>After graduating in mechanical engineering, I was searching for a job\/internship with a startup to learn about it’s culture, financialaspects and teething problems. You may well ask why was I so keen!<\/em>\u00a0It was because I love challenges. Furthermore, I knew that the experience would be really valuable when I come up with my own venture one day!<\/p>\n

Now, while looking for such internships on Internshala, how did I land up getting one with Internshala itself?<\/p>\n

I subscribed with Internshala and on the very next day I received an email from them with the subject line ‘8 internships matching your profile’ — an internship opening at Internshala being listed on it.\u00a0I applied for that internship and got another email; this time it said that my telephonic interview was scheduled with Sarvesh, the CEO of Internshala!<\/p>\n

You must be aware of the feeling that you have during the climax of an action movie. That strange pittish feeling in your stomach! I had exactly that the whole day. I was damn nervous, to say the least. “I was about to get interviewed by the CEO of a firm! Why? Why can’t a manager take my interview?” Such thoughts raced through my mind and I kept trying to compose myself.<\/p>\n

Anyways, now I do have an answer to those troubling questions — Internshala takes its interns really seriously and therefore leaves no loose end while hiring the same!<\/p>\n

Well, the interview happened and on June 9th, 2015 I had my internship offer letter. One of the happiest moments of my life!<\/p>\n

On June 13th, 2015, I left home for the first time ever; accompanied by sadness and tiredness. First of all, I was travelling with a bag much heavier than me (you may laugh), but what made it worse was the disturbing nostalgia. I was missing home and friends terribly in this new city. But amid all such troubles, it was the enthusiasm for this internship that kept me going.<\/p>\n

It’s been 2 months here at Internshala and office feels a lot like home already. For me, it is the informal and friendly aura surrounding this exuberant workspace, that makes Internshala\u00a0an amazing organization.<\/p>\n

I look forward to learn as much as I can about different verticals of Internshala, acquire and hone new skills and stretch my limits.<\/p>\n
