Why Career Planning is Important?

Everything needs a plan, you or your parents must be already planning about education since junior high school until college. For example, you want to go to the Top university. But if you didn't accepted, what college you will choose? You will have to make a backup plan. The same thing happens to a career. It is important to make career planning from now. You should think, what you will do after finishing college, 5 years and 10 years after.

Career planning is closely related to financial planning. It's better if you already know about financial planning. Career planning means the same as increasing your monthly income. By reaching the top, your monthly income will increase, therefore you should plan your career as best as you can.

“Virtual Internship & Increasing Productivity During Corona” Webinar

On 13th of July 2020, Bright Internships held a collaboration with another PPI from Melbourne University, MUISA. With lots of preparation and training, we were able to do the webinar successfully with over than 50 participants joining us.

In this webinar session we talked about what is going on around us on this virus season, because of the virus, we put a lot of things on hold. While things are changing, should we adapt or just stay the same like we always do? The answer is we must adapt. We need to change our point of view and not just think of the negativity, but we must think of the positivity it brings as well. In this session, we learned about so many opportunities that we can reach by thinking out our comfort zone.

At first, we were talking about Virtual Internships, what it means to be a virtual intern. What can we do and most importantly, what can we get by doing so.

What are your plans for the next 5 to 10 years?

As a living being, we tend to have a desire to reach something better for us, our loved ones, community, or even maybe the world. It’s always good to remember what your goals are. When you have them set out, it’s easier to see where you’re headed. It helps you sort out your vision a little more. For example, for tomorrow, you plan to have a delicious and fun lunch with your group of friends. Or maybe next week, you have plans with your family to go on a trip to the beach.

What is virtual internship?

A virtual internship is a work experience program, where the intern gains experience while working in a remote professional setting and is not physically present at the job location.

Online language courses

In this globalization environment, we are forced to understand the language of certain countries to be able to communicate easier and find a better common ground. The world is now fast-paced because of the internet and the practicality of transportation. But, for some people learning a new language can be very hard and complicated because they need to learn new grammars, words, phrases, and maybe other alphabets from other languages. And because we are stuck at home, might as well use our free time to learn these languages online. There are a few apps that can help us learn new languages such as:
