How effective our communication?
A one-on-one call with your Career Advisor is a dedicated time for focused communication, typically scheduled regularly. It’s a crucial opportunity to build rapport, discuss work-related matters, and foster professional growth. Effective one-on-ones require preparation from both the advisor and the internship trainee to ensure productive and valuable conversations.
