Virtual Onboarding Experience
Embarking on a new internship journey always comes with a mix of excitement and a dash of nervousness. This week marked the beginning of my fully online internship, and I must say, it’s been an enriching experience so far, thanks to a comprehensive and well-structured onboarding process.
The first few days were dedicated to familiarising myself with the company’s mission, values, and the overarching goals. Although I’m navigating this from behind a screen, the digital resources provided gave me a clear understanding of the company’s vision. I spent time exploring their website, current projects, and future plans. This deep dive into the company’s ecosystem helped me align my expectations and understand how my role would fit into the bigger picture.
One of the highlights of this week has been chatting the Communication and Marketing team. Despite the physical distance, the team has been incredibly welcoming. We use Microsoft Teams for our daily communication, which has become a vital tool in bridging the gap created by the remote setup. Chat features have made it easy to connect, share ideas, and discuss ongoing projects. From the outset, my teammates have been supportive, providing me with all the necessary information to get started.
