How to write the answer to the assessment question?
The answer to the assessment question i.e. ‘Why should you be hired for this internship?’ is the
first thing that the employer sees. I would like to share a fact that it takes only 6 secs for an
employer to reject your application. Therefore, this question should be answered with the utmost
care and should reflect your zeal to work for the organization
1. Keep it simple and structured – You should introduce yourself briefly i.e. what you are
currently doing, and state why you are a good fit i.e. skills you possess for the job with
examples of activities you have done in the past that prove you are the perfect candidate
for the position.
2. Keep it personalized – You should not copy template answers. This has never helped
and will never help. Many students just copy paste a generic answer to this question from
the internet which is one of the major reasons that their application gets rejected. (If you
can Google the question, the employer can also Google your answer).You can do some
research about the role offered and the company. This will help you connect the skills/
experiences you have with the requirements of that particular role and organization.
Proof-read your answer - You should make sure there are no errors in the answer. If need be,
you could consult someone (with really good written communication skills) to help you out with
the errors. Grammarly (free online tool) can help you check grammar and spelling errors.
As getting an internship is a time taking process I will now share with you few secret tips to quickly
get an internship
Secret tips to quickly get an internship
1. Understand that it’s a competition – The more internships you apply for, the higher are your
chances of getting hired. This means that till you do not get a confirmation from the employer that
you have been hired, you should continue applying for internships matching your criteria.
2. Get noticed – Applying to internships that have been recently posted at Internshala, will
improve your chances of getting noticed by the employer since the internship would not have
received too many applications. You should check for ‘Posted At’ date in the internship section
and apply to the ones that have recently been posted.
