I intern at the green taxi company , allowance : by far the best, i intern twice before. (first at the convenience store factory: allowance 1k everyday go R&R to curi makan, work very boring help to key in and check sales and purchasing + at the end of every month i will do stock check, sometime i almost fell asleep in work)
My second intern at green taxi company( fintech department), allowance 1K ( havent cut off EPF and socso) + lunch everyday ( they took this away already cause too much good waste) + EPF and socso. What i was doing there was marketing and communication stuff, we deal with drivers we sell stuff to driver, for the few 2 months,I need to prepare the inapp message, Google form, SMS. As very active uni student, all these are not new to me, the only thing that i am not familiar with is their application. For the next 2 months, i was doing customer services work because they lacking of people there was another full timer doing the same thing as me, replying email and checking payment slip( i literally want to kill myself for this, tons of work but work that does not require a uni degree). However, i love the culture of the green taxi company, very good place to work at + they let you to have creative freedom there is SOP to follow but if you can find a way to improve the SOP they are willing to change the SOP that was what happen to me( me find better way to do work), just the work very boring. At the end of my internship i did told my manazer that the work is very boring and i dont feel like doing it, she reply was then why did you tell me earlier, so what do you want me to do to make this internship experience better in this last week, I replied : just let it be, it is already the last week. I did told my manazer perhaps next time clearly inform the candidates regarding the Job description during the interview or email, my dumb dumb manazer replied : "I did ask you is there any question to be ask then you answer no", then she end interview. my manazer did not explain the JD and she just ciao and expect i know what is going on.
I thought that intern at green taxi will be good cause always hear the saying of startup you can learn alot and very good experience, but taxi is not a startup anymore they are too establish. It is partly my foul because I did not ask fully about JD because i accept the role, at the time i was very down because big big companies all rejected me, because I does not have a good result focus too much on non academic stuff and the green taxi + fintech sound like something interesting, so i just took it. Soon after I accept it, there is some big companies call me for interview and i turn all of them down because i malas
Conclusion, my first internship i was doing intern work with intern pay, my second internship i was doing full timer work ( although it is actually very low work)
but getting an intern pay. I is a business student
Thing that i learn during my internship, whatever company also they will throw u intern work like photocopy, carry stuff, low skill job, sometime something interesting, dont expect too much from it. intern is always an intern no matter which company you go for. In term of learning, it really depend on what you want to learn, some people might think that my internship learning was good because it is something new to them, some might hate it.
Moral of the story, dont rush to accept internship, really understand the job before you accept it.
