INTERN OF THE MONTH
Rakesh Kethu - IT Graduate
How did you benefit from the internship?
The internship helped me gain skills required to kick start my professional career in the Australian corporate market which otherwise wouldn’t be possible. I got to know the office culture and the common etiquettes required to be part of a professional team. After 3 months of my internship, I was offered a full-time position by the company.
What did you learn on the job?
Though it was an intern role, I had a chance to work on some real-time projects with the help of a mentor. I had ample time to learn about the job profile and day to day routines. Mentor was very helpful in answering any questions related to the job throughout the internship period.
What role did Studyandwork play in helping you enter the industry?
Studyandwork provided exceptional service in reviewing my CV and explaining to me the options I have moving forward and the current job market in the city I am living in. Once they understood my academic background and my interests, they arranged an interview with an ASX listed company within Melbourne. The company liked my profile and after the interview, they hired me for an internship role that lasted for 3 months. Later the same company offered me a full-time position.
Have you recommended the internship to anyone? If not, would you?
Yes, I’ve recommended Studyandwork to my friends and fellow graduates from my university.
How would you summarise the experience as a whole?
My experience as a whole was exceptional right from the start to the first day in the office. Studyandwork kept taking my feedback right throughout the internship until I was offered a full-time position.
Were you offered a job after the internship?
Yes.
Are there any further comments you would like to add?
To the prospective candidates who’re looking for an internship, I would advise them to know about the company before they’re going to an interview and to ask the right questions to the potential employer.
