VIRTUAL INTERNING

#WorkFromHome by Amber Williams

AS A KID, I HEARD ADULTS COMPLAIN about how mundane the standard 8-5 working routine was. And boy, did it sound dreadful!

I always secretly dreamed about having a job that would allow me to work from home, while having a flexible schedule. Fast forward to 2021 and here I am, sitting at my work from home station wearing my warm pyjamas while writing an article as part of a task for my ‘virtual’ internship. Life can only get better!

#WFH The entire recruitment process happened virtually – from the interview to the induction to the internship itself. The interview was a bit daunting as it was my first virtual interview. Nonetheless, the experience was great as the staff made me feel at ease and I was able to have interview notes nearby. Not long after, I received a phone call informing me that I got the job and that it would commence remotely in January 2021.  UWC CAREER UPDATE 2021 |
