In 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic started rapidly spreading across the nation, everyone started taking precautionary measures to combat the situation. One such measure was to turn to remote working.
Once you have built your resume, you could start applying to internships. The online platforms have the provision of various filters like internship profile, work from home, stipend range, etc.
Virtual internships require the interns to work remotely without constant supervision from their mentors and communication with fellow team members.
Both verbal and written communication skills are extremely important to work remotely through email, video conferencing tools, and telephonic conversations.
2020 has proved that remote internships can add equal value to a student’s resume by providing them with equally full-time and good practical work experience and teach them new skills.
In addition to the learning experience, the work-from-home interns also receive certificates of completion, a letter of recommendation and a fixed stipend.
