Madadgaar Foundation Work Experience as Content Writer Intern

My first internship experience at an NGO 

Description of the company 

Madadgaar Foundation is an NGO where I found my first internship opportunity as Content Writer. It was started by some of the seniors of other departments of my college.

Interview round 

I got the chance for the interview by winning an event organized by the foundation. It was my first interview so I was nervous but all went well and I was selected. Later I was promoted to technical head based on my excellent performance and obedience.

My designation and responsibilities :

I joined the organization as a content writer and was later promoted to technical head. I worked in the organization for one year.

Key responsibilities as a content writer :

• Writing content for daily posts for social media handles.
• Writing articles and blogs for the website.
• Writing content for events organized.
• Writing content for special celebrations.

Key responsibilities as a technical head :

• Guiding interns about their work.
• Hosting online events.
• Hosting orientation sessions for the organization.
• Reviewing the content submitted by interns.
• Managing the schedule of events and proper conduction of the events.

What did I learn?

I learned to work in a team and understand how it feels to work when you are in a team. As our team distributed several necessary items to the needy and poor people, I also went to places for distribution. I have seen and felt the ground reality of the life of the poor.

My writing skills got improved. I also got to manage the interns which enhanced leadership skills in me.

Pros :

• Flexible working hours.
• Guidance is available.
• Supportive seniors.
• Healthy working environment.
• Appreciated for good performance.

Cons 

• As a head, managing all the interns and getting their work done by the deadline became challenging sometimes.

I will always be thankful to the foundation and my seniors for giving me a chance to start my career path.
