Amid the unpredictable waves of the pandemic, Volunoid’s journey to conduct internship surveys speaks volumes about adaptability, creativity, and the indomitable human spirit. Join us as we recount how we faced unforeseen challenges and turned them into opportunities.

 

Blueprinting the Internship Survey

Initiation and Planning:

With our clear objective to scout for potential interns, our initial plan was to visit universities in the bustling city of Semarang. Comprehensive briefings and meticulous planning laid the groundwork.

Emphasis on Effective Communication:

Human connections lie at the heart of our strategy. Thus, briefing sessions prioritized teaching our staff the art of effective and polite communication.

 

Unanticipated Setbacks: The Pandemic’s Curveball

Campus Visits Thwarted:

Our well-crafted plans hit a roadblock when pandemic restrictions stopped us from accessing university campuses. “The reality of the pandemic threw our briefing discussions off track”, laments Shafira, reflecting on the unexpected turn of events.

The Agile Pivot:

However, the Volunoid team was undeterred. Initial adjustments to the original plan were deemed insufficient in the light of new challenges, prompting further innovation.

 

Virtual Innovation: The New Normal

The Digital Shift:

Angga weighs in, “With physical interviews out of the equation, we turned to virtual platforms. We tapped into our networks, seeking friends to serve as respondents.” This strategy not only bypassed the restrictions but also expanded our respondent pool.

Harnessing Technology:

Google meetings became our prime tool. Each potential intern respondent was approached and interviewed, emphasizing the importance of digital adaptation during these testing times.

 

Team Synergy: The Backbone of Success

Collaborative Approach:

Despite some team members falling short of set targets, the spirit of teamwork was undeterred. Challenges were addressed collectively, underscoring the importance of unity and shared responsibility.

Building Relationships:

One of the beautiful byproducts of this endeavor was the creation of new relationships. The interactions with respondents transcended beyond formalities, sowing seeds for long-lasting connections.

 

In Reflection: Gleaning Insights from the Journey

The Volunoid team’s commitment and adaptability during this project highlight resilience’s true essence. Not only did they manage to stay on course despite the adversities, but they also strengthened ties, learnt new approaches, and showcased unparalleled teamwork in the process.

 

Conclusion: Embracing Change, Celebrating Adaptability

In a world where change is the only constant, Volunoid’s tale of persistence, creativity, and camaraderie serves as an inspiration. As we look back, we’re reminded that with the right mindset and collective spirit, no challenge is insurmountable.
