LITTLE CORNER THOUGHTS

This is a question I hear quite often from students. Many believe HR is looking for someone with the highest grades or the most impressive resume. In reality, that's not always the case. As an HR Manager, I look for students who are willing to learn. You don't need to know everything before your internship. That's exactly why internships exist—to help you gain experience. What stands out to me is someone who asks questions, accepts feedback, and is genuinely interested in lea

When people think about Human Resources, they often imagine interviews, recruitment, policies, and paperwork. While those are definitely part of my job, there's another side of HR that I genuinely enjoy. I love preparing team activities and decorating for our employee events. Whether it's a simple celebration, a themed event, or a team gathering, I always look forward to planning the little details. Seeing an empty space slowly come to life with decorations is something I fin

One of the questions I hear most from students is: "How can I secure my internship in a good hotel?" My answer is always the same: It starts long before you send your application. As someone who has worked in Human Resources in the hotel industry for many years, I've interviewed and met hundreds of students. I can honestly say that getting into a good hotel isn't only about having high grades. It's about showing that you're ready to learn and willing to work. Start preparing

I hear you. That feeling is completely normal — even people with years of experience go through the same thing. It doesn’t mean you’re failing, it just means you’re in a tough phase of the process. Maybe this is a good time to pause for a moment and reflect a bit: Take a fresh look at your CV — is it really showing what you’ve done and what you can offer? Think about how you’ve been applying so far — are you just sending applications, or adjusting your approach along the way?

I get why that feels frustrating. It’s not just about jobs — it starts to feel personal when no one replies. But here’s the honest truth: most of the time, it’s not you — it’s how you’re showing yourself on paper. If I were you, I’d stop mass applying for a moment and reset a bit: Make your CV very clear, simple, and focused on results (not just responsibilities) Tailor it slightly for each role instead of sending the same one everywhere Add a short, human cover message — not

This is one of the most common questions in interviews, and honestly, many students feel nervous about it. I understand why. You might be thinking, “I don’t have much experience… what should I even say?” But here’s the truth — as someone working in HR, we are not expecting a perfect or long answer . We just want to understand who you are, what you’re studying, and what you’re looking for . Keep It Simple You don’t need to impress. Just be clear and honest. You can follow this

I hear this a lot from students. Many think that gaining experience only means getting an internship in a company . If they don’t have an internship yet, they feel like they are already behind. But honestly, experience is not limited to internships . There are many ways you can start gaining experience while you are still studying. For example: Volunteering in your school Helping in community activities or projects Joining school organizations Taking initiative in group proje

If you are a student and you feel worried because you still don’t have an internship, I want you to pause for a moment. First, don’t lose hope. It is normal to feel tension or frustration when you see other students getting internships while you are still trying. Many students go through this stage. I understand that feeling. But remember this: not having an internship right now does not define your future. Yes, internships are good. They help you learn and gain exposure. But
