9 to 5....hmm actually 5.45

So I am back to work and doing my internship now. It was serious work right from the first week(It has been three weeks since I came here). The people are nice and I have some how managed to get what I am supposed to do on track. I have never done an internship before . My under graduation didn’t require me to do an internship and so I didn’t bother. None from my undergraduate class also did one as far as I remember. So it is a new experience especially if you are working for a grade. I didn’t want to miss my last internship opportunity too considering the fact that I have to write a thesis which was the other option if I didnt want to do an internship. The current economic crisis didnt help it. Making a company to actually hire you as an internship and proving to them you did actually learn something(*wink*) in the MBA is actually tough in these times. Some how I managed it and it wouldn’t be fair if i say it was all luck : I worked for it. Also I didn't want to go back to India for my internship. I wanted to experience the work life here . Being the only Indian, infact the only foreigner among these Filipino IT guys is fun. They all think all Indians are some IT wizards and I have no objections to that :)).
I think AIM’s career management services needs a mention there. Though I didn’t get an internship through them, they have helped a lot more students than the previous years to get an internship through the school . Things are changing for good.
