Hi there!
My name is Darren Ng, and I’m currently in my third and final year at Nanyang Polytechnic (NYP), majoring in Marketing. I’m very grateful to have the opportunity to kick-start my first internship experience at Jublia.
The onset of Covid-19 brought out a lot of uncertainties. One part of me that was looking forward to meeting new people in an environment different from the usual school settings ended up with me being on a Work-From-Home basis for the entirety of my internship. Moreover, I wasn’t sure if I would receive the same kind of working life experience like my previous seniors.
Being the new guy on the block, I remember being an overly nervous wreck in the early stages of my internship. This feeling, fortunately, didn’t last long as I started to feel comfortable and welcomed within Jublia. Despite a switch to a different working environment, the vision and culture of Jublia still remains strong in these unprecedented times.
One of the things that really stood out to me during my short stint at Jublia is that interns are given equal opportunities and real responsibilities. Although it was daunting at first, I’m thankful to have the opportunity to represent Jublia and add value to the Business Development team by working together to address the potential opportunities and challenges. That gave me the chance to hone the technical skills I learnt from my team into practice, and having the ability to translate my knowledge into a successful marketing campaign was a satisfying moment for me, which gave me motivation to work harder. There’s absolutely no doubt that Jublia places a huge emphasis on the growth and development of their interns, as well as a supportive work environment.
It’s crazy how fast time flies and I would like to thank everyone in the Jublia Team for being there as not only colleagues but also friends. I would highly encourage anyone looking to be part of a dynamic team to apply for an internship at Jublia. My biggest takeaway from my time here is definitely the friendships I’ve forged with my fellow colleagues and interns, which I thought I wouldn’t have an opportunity to know them before due to the circumstances. Yet, I felt very fulfilled to work with the Jublia Fam over the past four months. Thank you!
