Add the information carefully to your Internshala profile
Internshala Profile is one element in your selection process. It allows the employers to have a sneak-peak into your details, as mentioned in the application. In addition to this, the Internshala profile comprises the following information which is-
● Education details.
● Experiences.
● Positions of responsibility.
● Training/courses.
● Skills.
● Portfolio samples and achievements
As a mindful student, one should be able to add details carefully. These factors will help the companies in deciding your selection for the internships. Moreover, not only this but there are other factors of interest too, like filtering the type of internship based on your preferences, followed by the location of the work, the stipend proposed, start date while choosing the internship type. You can apply such details as you navigate the Internshala App while finding the option of preferences on the dashboard. After doing so, you will come across suitable internships you’re interested in which even fits your profile.
Dealing with questions asked in the application form
The frequently asked questions in every application are all about – why do you think they should hire you for this role? The answer to this question varies based on your perspective, performance, and the skills you possess that can benefit the company.
Some most common errors the students make while answering these questions are –
Mistake 1- Some students try to adopt a clever strategy by pasting the copied version of the answer from the Internet. They think such responses are perfect, as they are automated and structured to catapult the job offer. Surprisingly, the company makes sure that they double-check their answers as a way of checking their originality. If they get caught with the plagiarized answers, the application status shows ”Not selected’.
Mistake 2- The major reason for your application getting not selected might be because of the incorrect English with poor grammar or lack of structured sentence framing. Make sure you’ve submitted well written, detailed and to the point answers.
Mistake 3- Another major mistake made by the applicants is copying the same answer format for every other application. If one does not improvise the answers based on the company’s needs, then the entire worth behind answering the question turns out to be useless. Therefore, one shouldn’t write similar answers for every other internship.
Advice – An ideal answer should have working experience, skills and willingness to learn, along with one’s capabilities.
Mention your past working experiences
An employer is interested in hiring students with past working experiences. If you have one, then mention it in your Internshala Profile. You should highlight or mention only relevant experiences associated with your domain of work. But not the unnecessary details. Once you follow the tips as mentioned, then you’re surely going to benefit from this. As a student, you should be mindful while filling the application form and re-read and validate it before sending it out. Maintain a more professional, formal profile with an updated CV. The more experienced you are, the more opportunities will come your way. So mention and highlight your detail, which you think is remarkable and is worthy of mention in the application.
Is Your Resume Not Getting Shortlisted?
Keep your information updated.
It is to note and remember that your information or details should remain updated and revised by you more frequently. Because if you’ve applied for an internship, mention your contact details, otherwise you are likely to miss the opportunity. Then, in this case, companies won’t shortlist you while simultaneously hiring another suitable candidate for the position. Such carelessness is likely to cost you if you do not remain mindful. Keeping a more revised, edited and updated profile will let you know your application status, relevant internships for you and other updates. If a student gets shortlisted, they will receive notifications and updates via email or a message.
Keep the following points in mind before applying for any internships.
We conclude one needs to have a more strong profile with all the details with past working experiences, academic projects, achievements and much more. The above article mentioned the pointers to be kept in mind while applying for any internship.
Thus, think, plan, and execute wisely.
