Impact of Virtual Internships on Landing Jobs

 “With the world giving in to Social Distancing, it’s ironic how opportunities came knocking on our door” Introduction: The outbreak of COVID-19 in 2019 has completely changed the way the world viewed the work culture of Tech Giants, startups as well as small businesses. Recent trends suggest that workers have shown more inclination towards working from home, which is a very promising beginning of a new revolution where most of the companies will shift to working from home for most of their tasks and only a handful of employees would be required to come to the offices. These recent shifts have opened the gates of Eden to opportunities for students to enhance their skills and build their careers without requiring them to leave the comfort of their homes. While most companies have acknowledged this sudden surge of work from home culture and have allowed their employees as well as interns to work from their respective homes, those who haven’t yet managed to adapt to this shift are planning to come up with strategies to enable them for the same. How Virtual Internships can help in your Career Growth? Before the sudden surge in COVID-19 cases and the countries announcing lockdowns, the awareness regarding the domain of virtual internships wasn’t much acknowledged and emphasized. However, with the sudden shift in circumstances where organizations had no choice but to function remotely, both the recruiters as well as the students witnessed the amazing benefits of organizing internships virtually. From the recruiter’s POV, these internships are an excellent means to analyze the skills and work experience of students and therefore it makes the shortlisting process for the most suitable candidate more convenient and hassle-free. This is only one-half of the story. Viewing this situation from a student’s perspective is where the real advantages unfold. Participating in Internships virtually means that you don’t need to waste time and money on traveling to the office campus, you can conveniently participate from the comfort of your home. The time and money you save this way can be used to further invest your skills to even a greater extent which means your productivity surges significantly which undoubtedly lays a strong foundation for your resume. What’s more is that now that you don’t have to worry about office hours anymore, you can harmonize the balance between your college and work life since many students start working as interns in the later phases of their college life. Thought this was it? Well, there’s more! If we jump back in time 5 years, for most of the students it was impossible to win an internship into a reputable organization if their campuses were not in the vicinity.
