Hi Fishers, I have accepted Walmart offer and my BGV has started 3 weeks ago. How do I check my BGV status? I will be joining in mid May. Also, I have been hiding one of the company where I had worked for 45 days and then absconded due to personal issues. Would it create any trouble? They had created my PF account though. Any help would be highly appreciated
Hey, Fishies! We’re launching our first Interview/Q+A series "Portfolio Rewind: Would You Hire You?"
Like a portfolio review in reverse, creative leaders will share work they created when they first started out and critique it as if were a book that had just landed in their inbox. Then, tell us if they’d hire their younger selves knowing, and expecting, what they do now.
Drop in for get the chance to ask questions, and get your book reviewed by our guest. Hope you can make it!

I actually didn’t do a formal internship before getting my first sales job. I started out in a retail role where I learned how to read people, handle objections, and build relationships on the fly — skills that translated directly into professional sales later on. That hands-on experience taught me more about persuasion and customer behavior than any classroom or internship could. Once I moved into a true sales role, the learning curve wasn’t as steep because I already understood the rhythm of selling.
It doesn’t have to be a sales-based internship. Almost any of them will teach you a lot of skills, and all of that can translate into your first real role.
