Howdie, mates! waddup...
So, I've come to this phase where usually I've never talk or think about it but somehow it eventually comes to me (to blog about it). Nope, it has nothing to do with puberty, gosh! It's internship. Yeah, we get the lame jokes since this post title already highlighting the topic clearly. Duh!
So, internship...or some people like to refer it as practicum or industrial training. ~require some big time decision making among graduates/under-grads to build their career path. Some believes that the opportunity given to having an intern on that any particular company they're placed at would mean a secure after-grad-placement. Thereby, most under-grads(like me) were too keen with which company they want to work at. Thus, making them being too choosy and overlook the main goals for having an internship which is to gain as much experience instead of moolah from a real life industry.
To discuss about this issue it would be a never ending debates but one thing for sure I'm still waiting for a reply from any two distinctive ICT company that I've applied to. FYI, I've just submitted my resume somewhat few hours before I made this post. So it might takes a week or so for me to update this blog to give you the result whether I've been accepted or not for an internship placement.
Just now, Mom told me, "Don't put all the eggs in one basket". She's telling me to not just stick with one option...which I usually does. I used to only focusing on one thing, but eventually if that one thing didn't work I would be left in despair and frustrated. Same goes when I'm applying for this internship, I only have this mind of mine which telling me to go for only this one company and somehow being over-confident that I would nailed it. To think that back again, I do know there are a lot under-grads like me (and even better) that would to-die-for working at that company...thus the competition is stiff.
Right now, heck I'm nervous waiting for the reply.
