Summer Internship Experience At Aditya Birla Fashion & Retail

1) Group discussion
2) Two personal interview rounds

The first elimination round is a group discussion followed by a personal interview with HR and then with another representative from the Sales division of the company. An important point to remember in the entire process is that humility plays a big role in clearing the interview rounds.

Talking about the induction, my mentor and buddy showed me the way in the initial phase, they helped me in understanding the functionality of different domains and how exactly things go forward. E-meetings with the top delegates of the firm made me feel ecstatic. The ease with which we could approach and connect with them was amazing.

I was fortunate to get an opportunity to work as a Learning & Development Intern under the Retail HR team. It was exciting as it involved understanding the learning of the workforce, intensive competitor’s bench-marking, and providing an improved L&D framework. My internship with Aditya Birla Fashion & Retail Ltd. helped me improve the ownership factor and performance within a limited time frame. In fact, I can go as far as saying that I have mastered the skill of doing my work way before time! The major takeaway from the internship is that an in-depth understanding of the business is critical to maintaining the pace of the project. Secondly, it is necessary to have periodic discussions with your immediate superiors so that the project is executed on the intended lines. Also, these sessions pointed to me the areas that I needed to work on. Overall, the entire stint with the company was great and impactful. The whole L&D team was a treat and helped me not to lose track of the project in this WFH scenario and worked towards giving the best results. They helped me to discuss and resolve the challenges in the project.

In the end, Just a little piece of advice, Organizations seek interns who are motivated and exhibit a "go-getter" attitude. Employers also want people doing internships in their company who have a strong work ethic and are dependable and work well independently and in a team environment. Also, Take advantage of your student status and ask questions about everything you don't understand. Employers believe that students who ask questions are motivated and really want to learn all they can about the industry. As an intern, employers do not expect you to know everything about the job or industry. Internships are a great learning experience and the more questions you ask the more you will learn about the job and how the industry operates.
