There is simply no substitute for experience. InternGuru is where we invite you to share yours. A host of this “experience exchange,” my goal is challenge the establishment and to gain wisdom through the generosity of those willing to share their experiences and insights. Be it about academic institutions or employers, career services or HR – anything goes; and does. Why are things the way they are, can we effect positive change and, if so, how and by when? Learning happens in direct proportion to risks taken. I’m willing to put myself out there and even go out of my way to be wrong. Are you?
