This week I directed a symphony… Most of the work I do, and oversee, is done remotely via email, text, and video calls. I typically coordinate everything without being in person. This week it was different, I was physically present in the office. The work we did was intense yet amazing. My interns and I had an in-person project. I was hesitant to give the interns a lot of work because I needed to make sure things would be done correctly. Then the thought came to me, “They can do it, you just need to direct them”. So I did just that, I gave instructions for each task. These two talented people were magicians with their computers as we worked together to build documents, surveys, content, and more. They continuously got instructions for the next assignment as they were wrapping up the one they were busy with. There was little interruption and lots of efficiency & productivity. It was like orchestrating a symphony, with lots of things going on but in the most harmonious way. By the time we were done, I thought maybe it was just me who felt the adrenaline of those 2 hours of grinding out work, until one of them said out loud, “That was fire!”. With smiles on our faces, we left and performed a case study for our product. I have worked in remote environments for almost 4 years and I love it… but there’s nothing like being able to high-five your team after overcoming a challenge and seeing them perform live. I cannot express how grateful I am for these 2 insightful individuals who, believe it or not, I got working with me almost by accident as I was not originally looking for any interns. This experience reminded me of a few things; - Having the right people in the right place can and does make the difference. - Trusting your team makes things go better. - People are amazing. - Learning how to drive the boat without touching it, it’s hard yet, we need to. #internship #product #controlgroup #leadership #workingremote #WorkingInPerson #UX #software #seftwaredevelopment Kate Grow (Bailey)Irish Wolfe

Too often, we confine our children to the narrow lanes of 'Safe Careers.'  But what if we gave them room to explore? What if we encouraged them to listen to their inner calling, even unconventional ones? A career isn't built on what's expected—it’s built on passion and the freedom to pursue it. As a #founder, I’ve seen firsthand how creativity, when nurtured, can lead to extraordinary things. At BegetBiz, we’re doing something different. We’re not just offering internships; we’re offering a chance for young talent to shape their own future. So, we are #hiring - A Music Intern! Haha, strange, isn't it? Our Music Intern role isn’t about fitting into a mold. It’s about recognizing the power of sound to elevate content and create deeper connections. If we give young minds the right space, they can transform the world of digital media—just by doing what they love. We want someone who believes in the impact of music, who’s willing to learn and grow, and who understands that the unconventional path can be the most fulfilling. This isn’t just an internship. It’s a step towards realizing what happens when creativity meets opportunity. If this resonates with you—or someone you know—reach out. Let's build careers that matter.

Lately, I've been applying to many companies for internships and got rejections from Visa, Agoda, Google, JPMorgan Chase & Co., and the list goes on. Every time I open LinkedIn, I see at least one post about someone landing an internship at some company, proudly posting their internship letter. And you know what's common on those letters? The "MSME" tag in the bottom right corner. Let me tell you about their hiring process—it's incredibly tough. It has only one round where you submit a Google form, and boom, within one day you get your internship offer letter. I mean, come on, why bother solving hundreds of LeetCode problems and making projects when you can easily get an internship offer letter this way? Moral of the story: Set your priorities straight.

Interns, have you ever created something for a company but never got credit for it? Would love to hear in the comments. Did you know that the format and design of Spotify Wrapped came from black woman named Jewel Ham who as an intern at Spotify?

I came across a LinkedIn post saying: We’re on the hunt for Product Manager Interns who are ready to dive into the deep end! 🌊 Here's the catch: the role is full-time and requires mid-senior level experience. 🤔 Yes, you read that right! Because who needs "actual" interns when you can have seasoned pros running around like they’ve just entered their first job? 😂 In the world of Product Management, we believe in pushing boundaries—so why not push the limits of job descriptions too? If you can navigate this paradox, you're already halfway to mastering the art of product management! 😉 #ProductManagement #Internship #JobPosting #LinkedInHumor #HiringParadox

INTERNSHIPS MIGHT NOT BE ENOUGH TO GIVE YOU PRODUCT MANAGEMENT EXPERIENCE If you are a new product manager and want to understand deeply the topics, frameworks, and everything that concerns product management, I would advise you to work on case studies. When working on case studies, try to collaborate with other skills involved in the product development cycle. Work with data analysts, UI/UX designers, and, if possible, developers—whether front-end, back-end, or mobile—so that you will understand the different aspects of your work and how to collaborate with them. One great aspect of internships is that they provide structure and guidance. However, internships can sometimes be limiting because they are often streamlined and structured. While internships provide valuable experience, the structured nature of these roles may not always offer the full breadth of learning you need. To truly understand product management, it's essential to go beyond the scope of your internship by engaging in diverse projects and practical exercises. Case studies are an excellent way to deepen your knowledge. They simulate real-world challenges and require you to think critically about solving problems. Collaborating with professionals from different fields—data analysts, UI/UX designers, and developers—can give you insights into how various roles contribute to the product development process and improve your ability to work effectively with cross-functional teams. Remember, the goal is to build a comprehensive understanding of product management. Practical experience, coupled with theoretical knowledge, will prepare you to tackle the complexities of this role and help you grow into a more confident and competent product manager. #productmanagement #productcasestudies

💪 From a 50-day challenge to my first US internship to a FAANG role! 💪 📈 As many of you know, I kicked off my job search journey with a commitment to apply to 50 jobs every day for 50 days. My goal was simple but ambitious: to secure my first full-time role in the US. This journey led me to an incredible opportunity as a UI/UX Design Intern at Zolve, where I gained invaluable lessons, connections, and experience. 🚀 But I kept pushing forward, knowing my ultimate goal wasn’t just an internship—it was a full-time position. So, my journey continued for 100 days, filled with applications, rejections, interviews, and a lot of perseverance. Finally, in July 2024, I secured a contract position as a Lead Production Designer at Hero Digital in Austin, Texas! 🥳 This was for a FAANG project! I’ve worked with a super-talented group of designers. It was a short 50-day contract, and some exciting things happened afterward which I'll share in my next post. 🙌 This journey was anything but easy. Every rejection taught me something, and every setback only made me more determined. To anyone in the job search: tough times are part of the process. Don’t be discouraged—work hard, believe in yourself, keep going, and All the best 🔥. #SanjeevSriram #MSinUSA #masters #firstjob #internship #Graduation
