The end of Cheers
Hi,
I am too sure if I mentioned earlier how my
school’s attachments works. So I’ll just give a brief run-down of how it goes.
In my school, we have both internal and external internships. External
internship basically means interning at a firm outside of school.
The breakdown:
·
10 weeks (external)
·
14 weeks (internal)
" 7 weeks in
either MSC (Cheers, d’studio or
connect’on), Call Centre, BRC, EMRS (events), ELDC (e-learning) etc.
" 7 weeks in
Financial Training Centre (banking and fund mgmt. students)
The reason why cheers is in bold is because
that’s the stopover I got. Ever since I enrolled into the school, I really
really really did not wanted to get into cheers. I mean like seriously. Talk
about free labour.
I have to agree that it was a rough start. I
got nominated for the role of the finance. There are several roles actually
e.g. receiver, orderer etc. You may think that Cheers? Like cheers the
convenience store? Yeah, you got that right. My school’s cheers is fully
operated by students. This way we are empowered to make decisions and think out
of the box. Critical thinking and crisis management skills are further
developed here.
Honestly, the handover from the previous
batch of students to us was really bad. There were too many people in the store
and they did not teach us everything that is needed to be known. Especially my
mentor, she just taught me what was related to my own role and nothing related
to the daily operations of the store. I had so many questions in my head.
I was a complete train wreck. I asked so many
questions. But then after, once I’ve completely adapted to it. Interning in
cheers is not as hard as it seems. Yes, it may be busy but I don’t really have
to crack my brains unless there is a machine fault or financial fault. My main role
is simply churning out financial reports, tallying of receipts, technical
support and help, managing the cash floats and inventory etc.…
Not long after, it was really a breeze. I was
just waiting for time to pass as I complete my main tasks really quickly. It
was getting better and better day by day. I found myself really having fun and
bonding with my team.
Throughout cheers, there has been its ups and
down. Drama and gossips but nothing changes the fact that it was a good run. I
made some good friends and I definitely do not regret my time in cheers.
Right now, I am finishing my last week at the financial trading centre (FTC) along with applying for university. Fingers Crossed guys*
