INTERSHIP EXPERIENCE

34
INTERNSHIP EXPERIENCE

Internships are an important part of any business degree program.


They give us real world experience and knowledge that augments
what you learn in the classroom and provide valuable insight to
the career we want to pursue. Even more importantly, they can
help us build
connections and sometimes even lead to that first job. Many top
companies expect new hires to have internship experience. So, in
some instances, the internship isn’t just a nice to have, it’s a must.
Entry-level positions are increasingly competitive, and without a
strong resume, it’s difficult to find a job after graduation without
some experience. Internships give you that real-world introduction
to business that can complement your degree and can set us apart
from other job candidates. When we highlight them on our
resume, be sure to detail specific projects you completed, the
skills you applied during the internship, and success metrics for
everything that we did. Internships help you meet and work with
professionals you can’t meet in the classroom.
These early career connections can offer career guidance, advice,
introductions, and mentorship. When it comes time to apply for
jobs, they can also act as references. That’s why it’s critical that
during your internship, you develop a reputation as a responsible,
hardworking team member so that your connections feel good
about helping you or vouching for you in the

CHAPTER-5

CONCLUSION

36
CONCLUSION

This Internship has been a very useful experience in which I


learned the functions of the CA firms. However, I do think that
there are some aspects of the Job that I could have done better
and that I need to work on. The two main things that I learned
after my experience in this auditing firm are the importance of
time management and being self-motivated. I have learned some
soft skills such as tally prime, Microsoft, etc., and I am thanking
the organization for granting me permission to proceed with my
internship in their firm. I have gained some personal experiences
other than theoretical knowledge through this internship.

LIMITATION OF INTERNSHIP

 Limited Skill Development: The short duration might


restrict the intern's ability to develop a wide range of
skills and competencies relevant to the field of
accounting and finance.
 Limited Networking Opportunities: Building meaningful
connections and networking within the firm or with
clients may be difficult in such a short time frame.

 Lack of Real-World Experience: The intern may not have


the chance to experience the full cycle of accounting
processes or witness the challenges and problem-
solving required in real-world scenarios.

37
 Incomplete Project Exposure: Complex or ongoing
projects may not be suitable for a 15-day internship,
leading to a lack of exposure to critical projects.

 Limited Mentorship: Time constraints could restrict the


availability of mentors to guide and mentor the intern
effectively.

 Inadequate Learning Curve: Learning and adapting to


the firm's practices, software, and tools might be
rushed due to the short period.

 Difficulty in Understanding Culture: Fully grasping the


firm's work culture and values may be challenging
within such a brief timeframe.

 Limited Exposure to Client Interactions: Building client


communication skills might be difficult with minimal
exposure to client interactions.

 Incomplete Exposure to Software and Tools: The intern


may not have the chance to fully learn and use the
software and tools that are essential for the firm's
operations.

 Missed Exposure to Tax Seasons: Depending on the


timing of the internship, the intern might miss out on
experiencing crucial periods like tax season, audits, or
financial reporting cycles.

 Restricted Understanding of Regulatory Compliance: A


short internship might limit the intern's exposure to

38
understanding and complying with various accounting
and financial regulations.

 Difficulty in Assessing Fit: Both the intern and the firm


may find it challenging to assess whether there's a good
fit for a longer-term working relationship.

 Limited Depth in Specializations: If the firm specializes


in various areas of accounting, the intern might only
scratch the surface of a few specialties without going
into depth.

It's important to note that while a 15-day internship has


its limitations, it can still provide valuable insights and
experiences that contribute to the intern's overall
understanding of the field and the firm's operations.
