I was attached to an events company during my internship in polytechnic year 3. It was a very small company where there were only 7 personnel in the company including the boss and us, the 2 interns. When i first stepped into the office, I was feeling a little disappointed. The office was a terrace house where the boss used the upper story as his residence and the lower floor, a simple make shift office. In my heart, i was thinking that this may be a tough 6 months to survive through my internship.
As interns, we were made to do and learn everything that we could to assist in the events projects that the company was handling. It was a 6 months internship and due to the fact that there were only limited manpower in the company, the boss had high expectation of everyone in putting their best performance at work. As newly minted employees in the company, the learning curve was very steep under the strict supervision by my superior.
This internship turned out to be better that i initially expected. My 6 months attachment with the company enabled me to learn many skills and knowledge that were unable to be taught in the classroom. I had many take aways from this internship where i grew to have better time management, being more organised and ability to work under stressful conditions. My events company had also provided me with the opportunities to see the world where i had travelled to Abu Dhabi, Guangzhou, Kuala Lumpur and many other places to work in despite the size of the company.
Up till now, i am very grateful to my boss and company to groom me to be a better person and the opportunity to work along with them where we shared laughters, arguments and joy together.
