Intern / In-plant?? These words have surpassed the dominance of songs/ voice messages/ caller tunes. In sharp, they have muted these all time chaos of a college student.
Find a collegiate (possibly not 1st year) at random and pop a question on his holidays. Either his reply must be an in-plant or an internship. Special cases always prevail. Be it a mini project or an amusing vacation!! (Chicks and geeks ever exist).
I’m unclear of calling myself lucky or unlucky. I did both, which gave me a chance to have to varied experiences. Here is my comparison between them.
Internship was really hard to find on first hand and it was even arduous and strenuous to get it. (As you know it’s always tough to put the follow on). The most laboring part was to sustain it. The pitiable fact is I wasn’t paid for the internship!!
But it gave me a greater and deeper insight on recruitment and workplaces. I found how stupid I could sound in interview. Though I’ve attended seminars and workshops on entrepreneurship, working with a start up made me analyze and construe its working. The transparency of the company to an intern illustrated me the hurdles they cross through.
As a stark opposition to my internship my in-plant training was a fun learning time. We went. We ate. We listened/ learned (as it’s always up to us) and we found new friends. I thank the million dollar companies for this great opportunity.
It was a class other than your class room. It was more informative than one could think of. It brushed our basics and enabled us to find if we could see a future in such a company. But in-plant training didn’t live to its name. It was rather an in company training. Though they cited safety reasons for their procedure, I don’t blame them because it was really horrible to roam under hot sun!!
Though both experiences are different it taught me one thing in common. You are here and this is the moment.
