WHAT IF YOUR INTERNSHIP
ISN’T THAT GREAT?
Not all internships will be thrilling. Some
days youmight feel like a glorified photocopy
machine. Some supervisorsmight forget your
name (or call you
“Lai”
for the entire three
months).
But even these experiences have value.
You learn how to communicate, observe
office culture, and figure out what kind of
work you enjoy–or definitely don’t. Even the
most uneventful internship beats sitting at
home binge-watching K-dramas and calling
it “career research”.
YOUR CAREER STORY STARTS
HERE
Internships aren’t just filler in your timeline,
they’re chapter one of your career story.
They’re where you make mistakes, ask
questions, and (hopefully) discover what
lights a fire in you.
Whether you’re crunching numbers at an
audit firm, helping plan events for a local
NGO, or updating social media for a start-up
in Jerudong, take the experience in stride.
You’re not just gaining work experience.
You’re building your confidence, expanding
your network, and stepping into the Bruneian
workforce one day at a time.
So, if you’re feeling unsure about what to
do next, maybe the answer isn’t sending
out 30 job applications in a panic. Maybe it’s
finding a good internship, or applying for the
Government Apprenticeship Programme, and
giving it your all.
Who knows? That coffee run you volunteered
for might just lead to a contract.
