Talk about internship, it depends how are think about the purpose,
For instance, some of them might think that this is a very good chance to expose to what is the future for them.
Some of them might think that this is just a waste of time, one of my friend even said they are working like a dog, and get paid like a maid, because we are cheap labour for them.
So i happen to work in a company name "Perception Management". A PR agency which their work are very formal, internal, corporate. For example, Pantai Hospital, Tropicana Medical Centre, Department of Standards Malaysia. Where this is a Office work, so I am working from 9.00am to 6.00pm, every weekdays. A very standard Office hour for the OL and OB.
Hmmm.. and for myself, for the 1st week, i do really learn a lot of things. Some of the job scope are totally beyond what i thought as a PR should do. For example, media interview for Hospital because they are not allow to advertise themself. Messenger coaching to the CEO, to teach the CEO how to talk how to present their thought when the media question them and so on. This is really a nice and precious experiences!
However, when it comes to second month and so on, i felt very boring already! The consultant / senior only call us to finish the things that they could not finish on time. There are tons of call and follow up with the media everyday, which is also part of our job in future.
I am very active person. I like to engaged with the client and media. I prefer client servicing and handling the media during the event. I felt very frustrated when i have to sit on the same place, same sit, facing the same laptop everyday from 9.00am to 6.00pm. The only thing that can make me feel excited is lunch time. How lifeless am i? I hate office work from the bottom of my heart !!
Like finally, it has come to the end, on the last day of my internship, the company belanja makan at KOPITIAM. Thanks for the lunch. The colleague are very friendly and nice when it comes to lunch time. I understand when is the time for work and for fun, so i do really appreciate the lunch time with them as they are really very fun person!
So we have a speech session to talk about what do we think about our internship, which my colleague and classmate -> Kenny is giving his speech before me.
Thanks for the precious experience and the things that you all teaching me. For sure i will drop by to have lunch with you all in future. However, i would never come back to work for you all. =)
