Ever wondered how GEIP Remote internships are like

Ever wondered how GEIP Remote internships are like? 🤔 Jaslyn Khoo shares how her experience went as a remote intern at SocietyOne (based in Sydney, Australia!) ✨

“I was an Operations and Special Projects Intern with SocietyOne, a FinTech company based in Sydney, Australia but instead of going to Australia due to COVID, I spent my internship in Singapore, remotely at home! 🏠

I followed the working hours in Sydney, starting at 6am and ending at 2pm SGT everyday, which took me a while to get adjusted to. 🥵 I worked mainly with the broker team - fixing technical issues and generating daily, weekly and monthly reports for the team.

Although my internship company is in the industry corresponding with my field of studies, my job scope was completely irrelevant, and it took me some time and mistakes made to gain proficiency in my role. However, I also managed to pick up certain skills that I didn’t get to learn in my course. One of my greatest achievements with SocietyOne was that I managed to contribute and work on a project on rolling out an application in collaboration with Westpac, one of the top four banks in Australia!”

Say hello to Soh Fang Lin, our GEIP@SG Intern who’s a foodie and always up for good food! 👋 Let’s get to know more about what she’s been up to at her company, Cialfo!

“Hi! I was an intern at Cialfo, a college application platform (also known as an EduTech Startup) that aims to make higher education accessible for 100 million students by 2030!

As a Growth Marketing Intern under the Demand team, I created fair and campaigns promotional materials such as informational posters, website banners and more.

My proudest achievement was when I successfully rebranded Cialfo’s fair promotional materials, giving it a distinct look for each and every fair that we have held so that everyone will know what fair it is with just a look at the poster.

What was most challenging during my internship would be the last minute fair changes because I would have to “undo” tickets which I have already created or make changes to all the posters within two days! However, my organisational skills came into good use and I managed to make the changes quick!”
