Why did you choose to complete an Internship?
Internship brings one’s book knowledge to working practice. It is where one will learn about the professional working and real-world aspects. With this internship, I would like to enrich the technical and communication skills while being supervised under experienced supervisor and esteemed organisation. I can take forward the things I learn and the suggestions I get from this internship.
What have you learned the most during your internship?
I have learnt about time-management and how to apply the theoretical and engineering studies in decision-making, problem solving, executing tasks and work life management. With the feedback I can really reinforce my performance and improve the portions where I am lagging back which is very helpful to know being a student.
What benefits do you feel AI contributed to your internship and time in Australia?
Australian Internships (AI) attributes a key role in providing internship for students to gain working experience and getting familiar with the working principles in Australia especially, for international students. The unceasing support from supervisor and AI team through inductions, seminars and guidance makes intern comfortable by knowing the things prior to start.
What advice would you give future interns?
As I am at the starting weeks of my internship, I cannot advice much. However, I would suggest one thing for future interns, feel the internship as your first ever job so you can make mistakes, learn things, pick yourself up from the errors and you will perform well in future.
What do you enjoy most about Australia?
The lifestyle and diversity makes Australia one of my favourite countries. The encouragement for skilled professionals irrespective of streams and the dignity of labour together augments it. I feel it very pretty about the quite greeting smile, easy-going nature and sense of humour from most of the people here.
