Dear Garai, I agree with your views and I appreciate you for your genuine thinking towards an internee. Thank you very much. Regards, Valentina. ----- Original Message ----- From: Atanu Garai/Lists <atanugarai.lists@gmail.com> To: lis-forum@ncsi.iisc.ernet.in Sent: Mon, 21 Jan 2008 18:05:47 +0530 (IST) Subject: Re: [LIS-Forum] Openings in Indian School of Business, Hyderabad as a Interns <html> <head> <title></title> </head> <div> I consider this to be an unprofessional HR practice by the Indian School of Business. Please see below explanations:<br> <br> 1. According to Wikipedia, "An <b>intern</b> or <b>stagiaire</b> is one who works in a temporary position with an emphasis on on-the-job training rather than merely employment, making it similar to an <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apprenticeship" title="Apprenticeship" target="_blank">apprenticeship</a>. Interns are usually college or university students, but they can also be high school students or post graduate adults seeking skills for a new career. Student internships provide opportunities for students to gain experience in their field, determine if they have an interest in a particular career, create a network of contacts, or gain school credit. (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intern" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intern</a>). <br> <br> >From this, we can fairly say that an intern can not be given an option of recruitment for two years. In general, internship/ apprenticeship is part of the coursework, as elaborated above and should be in general practised by even graduate courses in computer science, business administration, etc. <br> <br> 2. Internship is generally conducted to impart practical training to students, new graduates. However, the "Job Description" does not provide any scope for training, rather it provides list of tasks that the would be interns are required to deliver. In general such jobs are delivered by full time experienced professionals. This also becomes apparent from the odd duty hours given to the interns .......They are expected to work in shift system on a rotation basis since our Centre operates from 8 am to 2 am. However the working hours for Interns will be 81/2 hours per day and one weekly off will be given..."<br> <br> 3. And, a working hour of 8.5 would be mentally and physically challenging for an intern. It is not sure if the relevant state laws can permit this.<br> <br> In view of this, I hope IBS changes it practice of recruiting interns to do the works of full time staff workers. They should be able to adhere to professionalism of a business school and what they teach at their MBA classes. <br> <br> Atanu Garai<br> <br> <br> <br> Naveen M wrote: <blockquote cite="mid:dae14a5e0801210138w5a1dabfaxc4df38c324fc2db7@mail.gmail.com"> <pre>Details for the Position: LRC- Interns Number of vacancies – 3 (Posted on January 09, 2008) Eligibility Criteria: * Post Graduate in Library and Information Science OR * Graduate in any discipline and Diploma in Computer Sciences Soft skills required: * Good communication skills * Take initiatives and result oriented * Systematic, logical and hardworking * Team player * Able to interact with different kinds of customers * Ability to work under pressure Job Description: LRC- Interns would be involved in the following activities: 1.
