Ask Shweta Seth, an HR enthusiast whose journey from Apeejay School of Management to a prestigious internship at Gartner is nothing short of inspiring.

In this conversation, she talks about her love for HR, how ASM shaped her journey, and her exciting career aspirations.
HR and Marketing — Why do you think they’re the perfect blend?
HR and marketing are deeply interconnected. Just like marketers pitch products to customers, HR professionals pitch organizations to potential employees. The skills overlap—communication, persuasion, and branding all play a role. That’s why I chose to combine both in my specialization.
How well did ASM prepare you for campus placements?
Apeejay School of Management played a huge role in my success. I was serious about placements and had a strong intention to secure a great opportunity. The college brought in top companies, including Gartner, and I was immediately drawn to the organization. I’m glad I made it through and I’m enjoying my journey here!
What kind of training did ASM offer to enhance placement readiness?
We had extensive preparation sessions, including soft skills training, group discussions, mock interviews, and resume writing workshops. These really helped build my confidence and made me interview-ready. The faculty’s guidance was invaluable in navigating the process.
What makes Gartner the perfect place for you?
The organisation’s work culture and brand reputation were major factors. I’ve always been passionate about Talent Acquisition, and at Gartner, I’ve had the chance to deepen my understanding of the field, work with advanced tools, and improve my time management and presentation skills. It’s been an incredible learning experience.
What’s next for you?
My goal is to secure a full-time position at Gartner. If that doesn’t work out, I’ll continue exploring opportunities in Talent Acquisition. This field excites me, and I’m ready to push my boundaries to grow further
