Interning at an NGO is an excellent way to sharpen your social skills while making a meaningful contribution to society. At ASH Educational Research, we believe that hands-on experience in the social sector allows you to engage with diverse communities, develop empathy, and enhance your communication abilities. Working closely with others on impactful projects builds teamwork and leadership skills, fostering confidence in professional and personal interactions. Additionally, you’ll expand your network by connecting with individuals who share your passion for social causes, providing valuable relationships and career opportunities in both non-profit and corporate environments.
Furthermore, interning at an NGO allows you to expand your network by connecting with like-minded individuals who are passionate about social causes. These relationships can lead to lifelong friendships, mentorship opportunities, and future career prospects in both the non-profit and corporate sectors.
First impressions count so make the effort to dress appropriately and professionally for work to leave a positive impression on your employers or clients. During meetings, make sure you bring along a notebook to take down notes as it will sharpen your focus on the key points of the meeting that will help you with your assignments.
Feeling lost on your first day at work is perfectly normal. Never be afraid to ask questions and clarify any doubts that you may have to get the necessary support you need to carry out the tasks required.
Be a team player and take a proactive approach. For example, if you have finished your tasks ahead of time, ask your team mates if there is anything else you can help with.
Think about how you can add value to the team or projects that you are working on by offering team mates relevant suggestions or going the extra mile to help them accomplish their goals.
It’s not all work and no play! Participate in the company’s social events and use the opportunity to mingle and make new friends with different people and colleagues from other departments.
Maintain professionalism at the office. Actions like falling asleep at your table, flirting with colleagues or coming into the office dressed inappropriately are examples of unacceptable office behaviour. In addition, to ensure greater productivity at work, limit your mobile phone usage and social media browsing during office hours.
Embrace the feedback given to you by your supervisor or colleagues positively without taking things too personally. Learn from past mistakes, move on and ensure that things will get done better the next time.
Tardiness does not reflect well on anyone. Make it a point to leave your house 15 minutes earlier than you think is necessary to give yourself more time to settle down rather than rushing and risk being late.
There is no perfect intern or employee at the workplace. When faced with any challenges, adopt a can-do attitude and seek help from seniors and colleagues when required.
There is no place for ego or rage in the office. When caught in an unpleasant situation, take a step back, think calmly and give yourself some time to reassess the issue.
