SINGAPORE – As Singapore Polytechnic student, I knew it would only be a matter of time till I had to do an internship, since it was part of the criteria for finishing my course in creative writing. But the inevitability of it didn’t make the idea any less scary to me.

Mr So said that although an internship is an opportunity for employers to see if a candidate is a good fit for a full-time position, it is also a chance for the intern to experience this new environment.

“I expect interns to challenge themselves and strive to discover their potential. Excelling is optional, but seeing interns put in effort means everything,” he added.
