Internships are the best source from where one can grow and progress. Here, Rahul throws light on lessons that he learnt. He shares his wonderful story of courage and perseverance with us.<\/em><\/p>\n

My internship taught me more than I could have imagined. As the HR Intern, I feel my duties were diverse and ever-changing. Sometimes it\u2019s tough to recall everything I have taken in over the past months, but I feel that these are some of the most beneficial lessons I have learned.<\/p>\n

1. I\u2019m not alone: Coming into this position, I felt that I had no idea where my career was going and I lacked confidence about what I could do and what I am really good at. My internship has definitely given me a better understanding of my skill set and where my career may take me, but most importantly, I\u2019ve come to learn that I am not alone. This job has taught me that almost everybody is in my same position. Very few college students know what they want to do, and it is something that is simply not worth worrying about. Thanks to my I know that if I continue to work hard things will fall into place.<\/p>\n

2. To keep writing: This was huge for me. I have always enjoyed writing, and always felt that I was pretty good at it. Yet, what this position taught me is that I really didn\u2019t have the writing skills I thought I had. Writing takes practice and I simply was not practicing enough. Writing for the web and writing your average research paper could not be more different. I had to learn to adapt a new tone with my writing, something that took a little getting used to. This position kept me writing something new every day, and I can say that my writing has improved drastically.<\/p>\n

3. How to behave in the office: This being my first position in an office atmosphere, I didn\u2019t know exactly what to expect. The environment here at Experience is quite relaxed, yet it taught me how to behave in the workplace. Simply working in the office and getting used to everything here has definitely prepared me for whatever my next position may be. Just observing the everyday events has taught me more about teamwork, and how people can come together to get things done. Although sometimes I have to remind myself to use my inside voice, I feel I\u2019ve adapted to the office life relatively well.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. How to build my resume: Like I said, this internship has improved my skills a ton, both off paper and on paper. I didn\u2019t realize it all of this time, but this position served not only as a positive learning experience, but a resume builder as well. I came into this with a resume that was basically naked, now I am leaving and I have lots of updating to do. My resume doesn\u2019t need a makeover, it needs to be restarted from scratch, and that\u2019s a good thing! I underestimated how much work I did that actually translates to my resume.
