GOMBAK, 12 December 2020: One should never underestimate the importance for undergraduates to undergo internship when this would provide them with opportunities to be exposed to the industry, to discover for themselves their career ambitions, and to acquire experiences to secure jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Head of IIUM Counselling and Career Services Centre (CCSU), Saiful Redza bin Mohamed told a webinar on “Internship: The Do’s & Don’ts” yesterday that internship is actually a bridge for real employment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0153It depends on the luck, sometimes it is unfortunate for the student after their excellent performance during the internship, it’s just that at that particular time the company was not recruiting, so they did not secure the job,\u009d Saiful Redza said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0153But still, whatever experiences you went through during internship, it is something that is valuable that you should put it in your resume, so it will support your application for job,\u009d he added.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saiful Redza pointed out three criteria that students should have to secure a job after internship at the organisation – company’s reputation, experiences, and job placement probability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To find information about internship placement, Saiful Redza suggested for students to always seek advice from their seniors on their internship experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said, \u0153Because there are a few companies out there, when you hear the name, you will simply be amazed by their reputation, but in reality that particular company does not give you any real working experience.\u009d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0153This happens due to the company not having a well-planned programme for their interns,\u009d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the session, Saiful Redza discouraged the students from applying to do internship in government agencies, instead encouraged them to apply at startup companies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said, \u0153While in the startup company, you are working in the open space and you will always meet up with the CEO or co-founder.\u009d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0153So, if they are happy with your work, they will directly offer you the job,\u009d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0153In government agency, no matter how well you performed, at the end of the day, you wont be able to secure a place because the hiring process is subjected to the warrant from Public Services Department,\u009d Saiful Redza added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The webinar was organised by Communication Internship Class and attended by some 60 students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the webinar, Saiful Redza also shared tips on the do’s and donts during internship as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
