Yes! I know what you did (in your) last summer (training)!!

Summer trainee or management trainee is one of the fanciest occupation….it simply means that you owe nothing to  the company and nothing is different in the case of that company. Although you might have been told in your institution that you are the ambassador of your institute, yet you always remain that decade-old Bajaj scooter which not only need many kicks but has to be tilted in a certain comic angle to suit the company’s needs.

Here are 7 highly effective ways in which you can improve your image (not possible if already dented!)

1. Cram the most typical words you got to know during your academic years. Use those words to show fake understanding of any topic being discussed in the meeting.

2. Be updated and information ready. Anybody, at any moment, can ask you a tricky question. E.g. what’s the score?

3.Be quick in approach and techno savvy because company don’t  like lethargic persons and spoon feeders You should be able to quickly hide your chat window and decipher the need to choose a computer kept in corner  without being said so.

4. Come office in a clean look. YES, the one which you sported on your last date which happened just after the Jurassic age.

5. Try to interact with people in your office no matter if they belong to the B&W Doordarshan days .In this way, you will be able to gauge the political leaning of office staff and can lean yourself accordingly.

6. Be attentive and maintain attendance. I know you never did it in your academic years but believe me you can fake it. Where is a will, there are ways to use it in your sentences as in following “I will do it in best possible ways’’, “I will do so as you say”.

7. Try to bring productivity in the company by your valuable insights. Any idea buried within your mind is worth a bomb and you have every right to explode it on the head of  the organization.

More to come… in next blogs…stay tuned!!:)thanks for reading....

10 benefits of being a management trainee

Management trainee is a kind of animal who is usually raised in the sanctuary of academic field and then suddenly pushed into the corporate jungle.  A trainee usually sees this opportunity as …well nothing but as an opportunity  to get a job after the completion of his study. Wait! Did I hear learning, exposure, experience and PPO? buwaahhh!!!
