Students should definitely take up internships. They should grab the opportunity to work in any organization, gain exposure and develop the necessary skills. The experience that we build over the years helps us in getting a better job profile.
The BEST part of my job is that I get to act as a sounding board for (really) experienced people and offer my thoughts on their ideas, plans, and dreams, whilst also contributing my own.
The coolest thing about my job is seeing the end product. We have so many people working here, and so many different processes that it is easy to get lost and forget the end goal. But part of my job involves seeing the gold at the end and knowing that all the hard work we all do is very much worth it!
