On the first day of my internship, I was informed about the hierarchy of the organisation, and the various functions performed by the HR department at PNB. My mentor was very kind to me and she explained my role and my project to me with patience. After seeing a demonstration, I started doing the work but often I would stumble upon some HR policy and she would help me graciously. I was made to feel like a part of the organisation from the very beginning of my internship, thanks to the amazing work culture that they have. All the employees worked as a family and not just like co-workers.
From the day I entered the organisation, till the day I left, I was surrounded by people who were goldmines of knowledge and experience. Just sitting in their company would transform a person into a learned individual. In spite of being such senior professionals, they were surprisingly humble and welcoming. Often, the Assistant General Manager sir would ask me how was I finding my work at PNB, and if I have any concerns. Other employees were also always willing to help me and treated me as their mentee.
My mentor was always willing to help me figure out work. She created a great learning environment for me where I could work and learn without inhibitions. PNB gave me the opportunity to have a practical approach towards what I had learned in the first year of MBA. The concepts I had learned in HR in my First Year at MBA helped me understand the HR policies and regulations followed by the organisation. This helped me learn quickly and easily. Working at PNB I got to learn the ground reality of various business issues and how to handle them.
I had a great summer internship where I got lessons to cherish for a lifetime which I will always be grateful for. Thanks to Punjab National Bank, for giving me this enriching opportunity.
