Plan your Industrial Training. You'll never regret it.

Hi there! It has been more than 1 month I'm having my industrial training. I'm glad I still enjoy my training because this training taught me lots of things (I mean it, ouwh~) and of course I'm doing something related to my studies. but more with multimedia, not software. However, instead of looking it from bad side, hey! I'm learning an interesting thing here. I adores those who masters in the film making and montage making, you're the sifu! I salute those who have the brains to think out of the box to show the world the most jaw-dropping and magnificent artwork.

I think all my friends are happy with their internship placements. I hope this positive attitude will never last in our life. So for those who are planning for your coming internship placement, do not feel weird to plan from now because it's never late to plan for the future. I heard some people complaining they have to do some tasks which are not related to their field. Let me tell you honey, you choose the company, the job scope and you must make sure your training must have something to do with your field. Never say any regretful thought once you have started your training. Why don't we look through some steps to search for a compatible company with your career prospect.

1. CHOOSE
What are you expecting from your internship? having a better understanding in your field? or just to pas by the internship because you want to finish your studies immediately. If you are looking for work related to your field, choose the companies which their core business is related to your field. If you want to choose something out of your field, you can choose other companies too. but later, do not regret with your choice you made. Remember.

2. PLAN
Plan which company you would like to work with. There are tonnes of them out there. First, choose the company which has the highest rank. Go for the best! DO NOT limit yourselves towards one company only. Make a list of companies you would like to have your industrial training. Make it until 20 to 30 companies. No worry, we just open ourselves for an option.

2. RESEARCH
do some researches regarding the companies you would like to go. Open their websites and learn what services they offer for you. Some companies will provide some information about industrial training they provide for practical students. They are hunting for people with top attitudes for their companies so it's your choice to perform your best work later. Please make yourself available for any talks from companies who visited your university. who knows you can find your placement when you attend the talk? And search the company core business and how you as practical students can learn from the company.

3. APPLY
Once you are convinced there are several companies which you like to have your internship, apply to the company with a proper approach. Use proper words and if you received any offer from any company. Do not simply decline an offer. and Please, do inform Person-In-Charge from SIIU so they will know your status. and never feel lazy to call them. if you try to tell them n receive no reply from them, that is not our problem. Ahakz~

4. CONFIRM
If you have made your mind to accept the offer, please reply your confirmation immediately. If you do that, you have make at least 3 people smile; you, the HR personnel who call you, SIIU personnel who handle your internship. The rest, Insya Allah you will face no problem.

5. LOCATE
It is wise for you to find the nearest house to your workplace because you do not want to increase your transportation cost. If your internship place is near to your house, why not just stay at your house. Free accommodation and food. You just need to worry bout the transportation only. But if it is far away from your hometown, it is better to find the house and some housemates~ it is quite expensive to pay the house rent by yourself. So do plan where are you staying and with whom you are going to share your house.

6. FOCUS
This point has no relation to the internship. Just focus on your final exam. Do not get distracted with this thing. but still you can carry on with confirmation of the house, the deposit, ect.

Any way, Good Luck peeps!
