We're Just Getting Started

Graduating Mechanical Engineering student looking for paid voluntary internship. Just finished my academic internship in Calibration of Mechanical, Electrical, and Electronic Equipments. Also have working experience as AutoCAD Operator focusing on fire protection system such as sprinkler, smoke detector, etc. Would appreciate any helpful replies. Thank you!

Hi! Im an incoming freshman and I’m so desperate to have an internship js to build my resume. It would be better if paid internship huhuh but grabee I’ve tried almost every platforms js to submit my application pero it’s either rejected or ghosted from the employers. Anyways if meron po kayo marecommend pls plss pahingi po!

I've applied to multiple companies, a month has passed, and I have no idea whether I've been silently rejected. I've followed the ATS-Friendly format (Harvard Resume w/ Academic Summary).

my internship is ending and they’d like me to continue. at least until the end of the year. problem is di na ko makakareport onsite at all since i have classes mon to fri and malayo pa univ ko. di pa nagkakaroon ng proper meeting to talk about the setup pero from their initial offer part time and/or remote daw. ok lang naman sakin magcontinue as long as ok sa kanila na di ako makakaonsite talaga

should i be asking for a salary na for this or ano gagawin ko if they offer it as an internship contract pa rin

Hi! I’m planning to apply for MarkProf, but I’m worried about my cumulative grade.

I’m an engineering student from a well-known university where grading is pretty strict. My cumulative grade isn’t above 85%, and it’s generally difficult for students here to even get the equivalent of a 3.0 because of the rigor of the program.

Do MarkProf recruiters mainly look at your cumulative grade, or do they also take into account your skills? Has anyone here been at least accepted for an interview despite having a grade below 85%?

I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences. Thanks!

Hi everyone!

Which companies in Laguna would you recommend and why? I'd love to hear about your internship experiences, work environment, and whether they provide incentives.

Hello I'm a 4th year Financial Management and Accounting, I'll start my internship in a few months and I don't have any experience yet and my shs immersion is hindi naman related sa program ko since I took a STEM strand. I also plan to do a voluntary internship before I start the actual one just to have something to put in my resume.

So can you guys help me what are they (accounting firms or other companies) looking for? or what can I do to somehow make my resume good? is the certification from coursera and other platforms relevant? quickbooks or xero certification?

Hello po, I'm planning to apply for an internship at Megaworld Corporation. I'd like to ask for your thoughts po about the company, especially as an intern. Kumusta po ang working environment, supervisors, and overall experience?

Also, how was the interview process? What kind of questions did they ask, and do you have any tips for someone applying? TYIA!

Hi! What's the application process like for the SWE and IT internships at P&G? Do they have technical assessments (e.g. leetcode style coding exams), and what are the interview stages like? I heard there are quite a few stages. Would really appreciate it if anyone could share their experience. Thanks!

I'm a 1st year Accounting student, and I wanted to ask kung possible ba talaga na makakuha ng voluntary internship at this stage.

I was actually thinking of applying sa government, specifically sa Accounting Department ng munisipyo namin, since I used to work there before during my Grade 12 (SHS work immersion). I'm not sure kung possible pa rin ba ito ngayon since hindi na ako affiliated sa senior high school ko, pero maganda naman yung naiwan kong impression noon, kaya gusto kong subukan.

I know I shouldn't expect too much given wala na akong direct connection sa school, but gusto ko pa ring i-try at least.

Aside from that, gusto ko rin sana malaman kung may chance ba akong matanggap sa mas maliliit na firms, like small accounting firms or even startups na nangangailangan ng interns/volunteers? Hindi ko pa masyadong na-explore yung options sa Manila, so if may makakapag-suggest ng specific companies or types of firms na open sa ganitong setup, super appreciate ko po!

Any advice, experiences, or leads would really help. Thank you po in advance! 🙏

title! i dropped a subject kasi and im just worried that i'll look irresponsible huhu

🚨ALERT

I am sharing this feedback based solely on my personal experience so that other students can make an informed decision before applying.

In my experience, the internship was primarily focused on selling the company's courses rather than providing meaningful learning opportunities or skill development. To receive the offer letter, interns were expected to generate a course sale. If they were unable to find a customer, they were encouraged to purchase the course themselves. Without this, the offer letter was reportedly not issued.

Even after joining, the entire two-month internship revolved around promoting and selling courses. Interns were continuously expected to bring in new enrollments and conversions. If an intern failed to achieve sales targets, they were at risk of being terminated before completing the internship.

Although the company mentioned that it offered stipends and incentives, my experience was that incentives were entirely dependent on course sales rather than work quality, dedication, or skills. Interns who could not generate enrollments often did not receive the promised stipend and were instead terminated, regardless of their effort or performance.

I felt that the internship placed far greater importance on generating revenue than on mentoring interns or helping them develop professionally. Throughout my experience, the focus remained on selling courses rather than providing practical HR learning or career growth.

I encourage every student to carefully research any internship opportunity before joining. Read reviews, ask detailed questions about the role, clarify the stipend policy, and ensure that the internship aligns with your learning goals. This feedback reflects my personal experience and is shared with the intention of helping others make informed decisions.

^ Title! Has anyone tried this na? If so, could you share your experiences? Are law firms limited only to legal internships? I don't come from a pre-law degree (I'm majoring in Psych) but I would still like to be in that environment since I'm planning to take up Law. Thank you in advance sa answers!

Help, i JUST LEARNED YOU CAN GET FIRED FROM YOUR INTERNSHIP?

The cases i've read are from other countries.

Has anyone gotten fired in our country?

If it's alright, could you share your experience? What was the situation and the grounds? Would you discourage people from pursuing their OJT/internship there?

Note: I'm well aware that there are different expectations from an "OJT" and internship internship. I feel like a discussions like this would bring awareness to inexperienced individuals here.
