Since my provisional acceptance into NCSV over a year ago, the much anticipated subsequent step in the NOC application process was the company interviews, and it’s something I’d been looking forward to this semester. The wait didn’t last longer than mid-October as that was the period of time the companies were scheduled to contact the [...]
The NOC experience means differently to different people, and making the decision to postpone it last semester forced me to reexamine my motivations for applying for this programme. I’ve always found the startup working experience to be the most attractive feature of NOC, and being able to intern for a year at the right company [...]
The Digital Marketplace Forum was held yesterday, and it’s probably the first and only event I’ll be involved in during this internship. The two weeks prior was spent preparing for the event, and for my part I was handling mostly the administrative tasks. It was slightly similar to what I had to do for GIC’s [...]
As the three-month sumer break began, I was fortunate enough to be able to secure an internship with the Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore (IDA) under the ELITe programme. This process wasn’t as frantic as a year ago, but it led me to think about my opinion on internships in general. Granted, my current internship [...]
The new year began with the familiar feeling the previous one did, that of worry and anxiety involving selecting modules for the upcoming school term. Despite trying to plan for the semester beforehand, complications always arise during CORS bidding with exam date clashes and what not. Besides the study break and examination period, these two [...]
The third semester of my university term is just about over, and this has by far been the most challenging one of all. I look back with the regret that I did not manage my time better and of the wrong choices I made, but in this position now I know that the last four [...]
I’ve been meaning to write this post for over a week, but despite the end of my internship, I’ve still been terribly busy with other commitments of late. I honestly never thought I’d say this about this past summer, but the last two months or so seemed to have gone by much quicker than I [...]
Two full weeks has passed since my internship with Kooshi started, although technically I’m working for 3 Little Pigs, a web development company contracted by the former company. Enjoyable is probably a slight understatement to describe my experience there so far, and to be honest there isn’t anything to complain about, except maybe the weather [...]
In spite of the seemingly strong feelings in my last post, I somehow managed to apply and land an internship over the course of the past week. I found the listing from NUS’s eJobCentre, and as a result of a technical glitch in the form submission process, I had to submit my application via email [...]
So a nervous four-day wait was ended with disappointment earlier this afternoon, when my interviewer from the Singapore Police Force called to inform me that I did not get the internship. I guess it was silly and complacent of me to assume that I was going to get it, but a series of assumptions had [...]
