Human resource is not just recruiting people in the company; it is lot more than it! People generally confuse human resource professionals to be just another recruiting person of the company after the recruitment their job is done. Human resource is for the employees throughout their tenure in the company and thereafter also! A professional in this sector is responsible for recruitment, training on company policies, documentation, needs to solve any issues between the management and the employees, conduct healthy practices for the work culture improvement in the company.

The internship provides us the real life job experience without actually being an employee for the company. It gives students an idea of active projects, job responsibilities and team work. Choosing a right internship program is tough but many students go for those internships which are paid or has some minimum wages promised. It is good in a way that you are being appreciated by money for your time and skillset but do you think it should be the only criteria while choosing? What about the unpaid internships, why they are not providing stipends? Let’s dig deep in this matter …. A non-paid internship is that whose interns do not get any monetary benefits but they acquire the acknowledgement from the employer apart from on job experience. Small start-ups or many of research and development firms may not have funds for new employees but they need assistance in their project so they offer free internship programs where students and graduates have the full liberty to get a hands-on experien...

Interning in a big city can seem scary and overwhelming; however there is more to gain from the city than a rural area. More people bring increased networking and new surroundings create independence. Whether you are in Dubai or Singapore, each city has its perks similar to the others. The skills you gain from city internships will be useful in the long run. Of course, internships are for learning jobs skills and creating efficient habits.

Just last year, I was headed on a path towards a career in criminology. As a sophomore at Lynchburg College, I was taking all the right classes for criminology major and was convinced a real life CSI-style career was what I wanted to do. Near the end of my sophomore year, that plan took a major turn in the road. I use to meet new people, I saw the company was looking for a summer marketing intern in a role they called “Global Friendship Ambassador.” This was an opportunity that had nothing to do with criminology, but I was intrigued. The position was described as an opportunity to work in a fast-moving startup environment on projects ranging from engaging with video production and social media campaigns. I felt I would really enjoy the role, so I decided to apply and landed the internship! A few short months later I was on a plane to San Francisco and reporting for work in the heart of the city. Following my gut feeling turned out to be a great decision. After a summer working , I ret...

One of billionaire investor and venture capitalist Peter Thiele’s major ideas is that “competition is for losers.” For example, he talks about how even though Google probably creates less value for humankind than the major airlines; the Silicon Valley Company is able to capture significantly more of the revenue. Why? The airline industry has incredible amounts of competition and so each firm tries to one up the others, leading to a spiraling effect where margins are incredibly slim. On the other hand, a monopoly in online search, Google is consistently able to cash out huge profits. Of course, in the article and in his book Zero to One, Peter Thiele is talking about building businesses and starting up. But the same concept applies to students and job seekers: competition really is for losers. Let’s take the internship search for example. Especially during the spring semester, it seems like every single college student is on the lookout for internships. After all, you want to be one o...

Congratulations, career-minded college students; you've officially made it to the halfway point of your summer internship! Spending hours picking out your perfectly-ironed first-day outfit and getting to the office 45 minutes early for fear of getting lost seems like it happened so long ago. You have a good feel for how everything works in the office now and you're settled in a familiar routine, so it's time to relax, right? Not so fast!

Now is the perfect time to make sure you're still on the right track to having your boss remember you as that awesome intern who they should definitely hire one day (or at least give a good recommendation to), so don't slack off now!

Internships and job shadowing offer a close-up look at life in the workplace, yet some high school students are so focused on academics that they pass up the opportunity, or they are uncertain about their interests and don't know where to start. But the push to improve college and career readiness and produce a better-prepared workforce is increasing the pressure on schools to build partnerships with businesses. What's more, educators realize that students are motivated when they see the relevance of what they are learning. "The central goal is to get students out of the classroom and into the real world so they can feel and see the entire work process," said Randy McPherson, the director of counseling services and college preparation for the Memphis, Tenn., schools and the American School Counselor Association's counselor of the year in 2011. "Otherwise, they don't really grasp what a day looks like or what a job entails." While there is no agency t...

Several weeks ago, I wrote about what to do if you hate your internship. As summer winds down and students roll off internships and head back to school, I thought it appropriate to offer some advice for those who are having a good internship experience. Why is that needed? Because it's just as important to zero in on what you like about your internship -- and what that might mean for the future -- as it is to determine what you dislike. I encourage interns to think analytically about their internship experience because this helps them articulate to future employers what they did and learned during the internship. If all you can do is say you had an "amazing" internship last summer, without providing any specifics about what was so amazing and why, it does little besides indicate an uninformed passion. A former student of mine once gushed about his cool summer internship at an event promotion company, while being surprisingly light on the details of what he did. It was a...

I was recently at an event with many parents of college students. During the event there was a lot of discussion about internships and how important they are in securing a job after graduation. Parents and students expressed frustration that most internship is unpaid and that many universities now require students to enroll in a class if the internship is unpaid. Hopefully, I can provide some answers to those of you who get frustrated or need more insight to internships. What is the purpose of an internship? An internship experience is designed to give students the opportunity to integrate classroom learning in a professional setting. Think of it as a new learning experience, not a job. This hands-on experience enables students to gain new skills, build confidence and expand professional competence. Through internships, students are given an opportunity to explore and experience career options and develop a professional network. An internship experience is vital to helping students m...

It used to be a matter of celebration if someone would get a normal graduate degree in olden times but as the time has changed and the competition has drastically increased people struggle on getting best professional degrees to do well in corporate but even that is not enough these days. The trend of internships has really changed the minds of recruiters. If you have already done the internships during your college course you chances of getting recruited increases and even the package goes above if you have experienced the industry before. Internships are absolutely beneficial for the students as they groom them in terms of personality and prepare them for the corporate. At least you don’t get that blow if you are already known to your industry. The best thing is as an intern if you make few mistakes you are forgiven easily by your seniors because they know that you are still learning but as an employee you are never forgiven because they are paying you a decent amount for which they ...

Internship vs. Degree? Who’s more likely to land an interview - a candidate with a business degree or someone who hasn’t finished their degree, but had an internship several years ago? According to a new study by the University of Wisconsin, La Crosse, the former intern has a 14% higher chance of landing an interview over someone with a business degree without any experience. As reported in the Wall Street Journal, the researchers sent out over 9,000 fake resumes for business-related positions. A quarter of the faux resumes listed internship experience as far back as five years prior. The researchers found that the “candidates” with internship experience were 14% more likely to receive an interview compared to candidates without any experience. Why are Internships so Valuable? Any kind of experience is going to put you at the top of the list of candidates when it comes to hiring. Business experience isn’t something that can be taught in school. It’s something you learn by working in...

For high school students who have never been exposed to a professional office environment, preparing for a career in the white-collar job market can seem like a daunting concept. An internship program that is coming to the Washington region aims to bridge that gap, training underprivileged high school seniors as information technology specialists and then posting them in paid internships at law firms, accounting offices and other companies. It’s a far cry from the minimum wage jobs high school students normally fill behind fast-food counters or at shopping malls, and it hopes to gives students a comfort level with the working world they can’t get anywhere else. Genesys Works, started 14 years ago in Houston, is planning to expand to the D.C. region in the coming school year, when it will assign 40 students from six Fairfax County high schools to spend the year in part-time internships at various local companies. Students and educators said the internship has the potential to give them ...

When companies look for freshers, they prefer students who have done internships as they provide a lot of exposure and make them work in a real life work situation. No doubt, a college provides theoretical knowledge and confers a degree, but one has to pass the real exam at workplace. So, you cannot ignore the important of doing an internship while you are still studying. Here we share 10 reasons you should definitely go for an internship without giving a second thought. Gain experience: As a student, you lack experience working in an office environment and this is the only way to get it. You meet many people and see how they work for a common goal. So, it is a good platform to learn as you will later be asked to do work on your own. 2. Strengthen your resume: If you have a work experience, you can add it in your resume. Generally students and graduates don't have work experience when they leave college. They won't be able to demonstrate they understand business, know how to...

Time spent at college includes a host of associations: Cramming for tests and deadlines, exploring new ideas and partying with beer pongs and coeds. Lately, campuses have become associated with controversy, with buzz terms like "safe spaces" and "micro aggressions" creating a debate between free speech vs. feeling comfortable and accepted at schools. But by the time you and your career in college, what really matters is that you have positive momentum moving forward with the rest-of-your-life career; parties and controversial noise will be left in the past. It's also important to understand that college grads today aren't dealing with their parents' or even older siblings' job market. While the jobs are there, the quality is less so. That's why at my organization, College Works Painting, we're interested in giving college students real-world entrepreneurial experience through internships while providing a service to customers. In this case, t...

Working an internship you despise can be a drag. There’s no better way to put it. Sometimes, it does not matter how thoroughly you have researched a career field, a company, a boss, a position. Things can go downhill fast, and you can feel like there is little you can do about it. And often, there is nothing you can do about it. You are stuck in this terrible internship and cannot leave; either because it is too late for you to switch positions, you cannot find a new position, or you must have the position in orders to graduate. There can be nothing left to do except grin and bear it. While you might be inwardly suffering, there are ways to make the best of the situation and still have a positive experience despite major setbacks. Read on to learn how to deal with an internship you despise! You Are Not Doing the Job You Expected You have been accepted to work with a great company in a great city in a field you would dearly like to work in … only to find that you are not going to be doi...

When is the best time for a college student to land an internship? Anytime they can get one! The tougher question, however, is how should the student go about finding an internship. Many students rely on their college career center, which may be fine for those attending a large university where internship opportunities abound. But most students will need to extend themselves beyond the offerings of the career center. Students looking for an internship must first decide on a goal for the internship. Do you want an internship in a Spanish-speaking country? Are you looking for exposure to forensic accounting? Will you go anyplace that will pay a high salary? Or maybe you will go anyplace that will hire you for free, just to acquire specific experience and get college credits. Once you know the kind of internship you want, create a resume that focuses your experience, skills and interests directly to that. A resume that is targeted to a specific kind of internship will attract more att...
