I guess I'll have to record all my internship days somehow to do my logbook when the time comes. So I thought why not set up a blog to talk about all the job and experiences I've gone through over the years.
If not, getting me to think of it all at the interviewer's desk will be a major headache.
It all started back in 2004 after my "O" Levels where I was just slacking away and not doing anything to look for a job.
Somehow in one way or another, I landed up working for the brand of Lucieno Shoes at Metro Paragon. Everyone will be wondering why would I be hanging around at the Ladies' Shoes Department. haha!
I feel odd too initially, but there are like more males as compared to ladies in that department actually.
Then it goes on and on, the job-hopping. I will engage in a whole topic on its own, one by one in the future.
Right now, I've sent out quite a lot of applications for internship positions;
1. Teo Keng Siang & Partners Law Firm
2. Citibank Singapore
3. UBS AG
4. FreemantleMedia Asia
5. Singapore Exchange
Teo Keng Siang didn't really work out as Mr Teo only had three spaces down at his office, not constrained by positions but by space (his office is really cramped up). So there was 4 applicants all from my course, a guy who was promised the position due to his influential dad, and 2 other girls, my girlfriend and her friend who was taken as I lived the farthest away as compared to the both.
Went for the interview at UBS next after Teo Keng Siang, and I doubt it went well. So I think I should start shooting out resumes soon. Citibank's interview is on the 21st June, and I believe I'll not fare well as compared to the rest of the interviewees who've applied due to Citibank being the second highest paying company on the SIP list.
Freemantle didn't even reply me. haha! I doubt I'll have much chance with freemantle due to the amount of people again. A thousand dollar monthly pay as compared to the rest of 400 to 600, who wouldn't want to head down there? But of course, quite a handful just didn't want to carry on strictly in the legal industry like I am. Afterall, what I really wanted to enter back then was Mass Communications, Law is the second language course I can fall on. It has been fun till now. As my interest in the financial industry grew, I thought it will be a great experience to work in a bank or financial company to pick up skills and knowledge of investments and finances. Therefore UBS, SGX and Citibank.
So right now, I'm awaiting response from Freemantle and SGX. Hope they reply soon.
