HireSetu's note
The apprenticeship rules screen you first
Read the eligibility list before you read the qualifications. No EPF or ESIC registration means anyone who has held a job where PF was deducted, even for a few months, is likely out. Check your UAN status on the EPF portal before you spend an evening on the application. The same applies to a foreign degree, current self-employment, and enrolment in another government-funded programme.
Aadhaar seeded with your personal mobile number and personal email is a mandate. Do that on the UIDAI site early, because it takes a few days and a pending update can stall an otherwise complete application.
Product work where AI is the subject
The day-to-day is analyst and product-owner work: sitting with business teams, working out what problem they actually have, writing user stories and acceptance criteria, keeping a backlog in some kind of order, and watching adoption numbers after something ships. You will also help run demos and training sessions.
Your tools are Excel, Power BI or Tableau, plus comfort with Copilot, Azure AI or ChatGPT. The models get built by the engineering and AI teams you coordinate with; your job is to make sure what they build answers a real business need.
Ordering the resume
Lead with the data tools and what you built with them: a dashboard, a messy dataset you cleaned, a metric you tracked over a semester. Then anything where you wrote requirements or ran user research, a final-year project or a college event counts if you can describe the problem and the decision that followed.
Agile sits in the preferred list, so if you worked in sprints during an internship, name the ceremonies you sat in. A line on how you use Copilot or ChatGPT for coursework helps only if you can say what you used it for.
Evenings in Goregaon East
The shift follows an EMEA desk and the role is onsite, so work out the commute home after 10:30 pm before you accept anything. Ask about late-night transport and whether the office runs a shuttle.
Confirm whether the shift stays fixed for the full twelve months, and what happens to apprentices once the programme ends.
