Here’s a short snippet of my time in BAT so far. Greatful to have been given the opportunity to learn from great talents and leaders in such a competitive industry, and to be a part of this great team!

Not all internships are created equal. This was what interns were doing in Laos during my recent trip there. They were most likely hospitality students doing their internship in the hotel. My guess is that this is very different to the internship experience that hospitality students in Singapore receive. That’s not to say that the task that the students are doing in the picture has no educational value behind it. As with all internships, interns experience both the exciting and mundane aspects of the role. In my opinion, what’s more important is: 1️⃣ The intern’s mindset to learn from every type of tasks given and not just resign because the tasks given to them was not exciting or challenging. 2️⃣ The supervisor’s willingness to coach so that students understand the purpose behind certain tasks and not just take advantage of an intern to delegate mundane tasks to them. As with any relationships, it takes two hands to clap. If you are an intern, look for supervisor that are willing to coach. If you are a supervisor, look for interns who are hungry to learn and give them an opportunity.

Introducing Alexandra Cioca, our Semester 1 Bachelor's in Luxury Business student who shares her thoughts on why she chose this career and what she aspires for in the future. "The reason why I chose to study here for my Bachelor's is that it intertwines the Business domain with the Luxury one perfectly, approaching both fields which I am rather passionate about. Apart from that, Glion is giving me the opportunity to learn from renowned faculty and industry experts, while gaining hands-on experience during the 6-months Internships." #BBA #Luxury #Business #HigherEducation #Glion #StudentLife #GlionStudents #Excellence #Switzerland #LuxuryBusiness

[IEUK Internship Day 4 - FINAL] The final day was all about touching up on our British Airways pitch task, with time for peer review and self-reflection. Here are some quick highlights from the Day 4 of the IEUK2024 Business, Operations, and Marketing virtual internship with Bright Network! 🛫 Keynote with British Airways (Mel Richardson MBE (Nee Kose))  🛬 💡 Work hard and seize every opportunity. 💡 Push yourself out of your comfort zone. 💡 Network with as many people as possible. 💡 Be ambitious and learn from every experience. 💡 Enthusiasm is key. ✨ Closing Remarks with Philip Yarrow ✨ No individual is greater than the team. Work for yourself and give it your best. Take every opportunity and take risks. 📝 Reflections 📝 I realised how much it pushed me to my limits, especially with the tight deadlines and so many different participants. It definitely got me out of my comfort zone and helped me develop new skills I’m eager to refine as I step into the professional world. Hearing real-life stories and insider tips from graduates and industry leaders was invaluable. IEUK provided a unique opportunity to network and engage in personalised Q&A sessions, offering a rare chance to connect with the people on the hiring side. It was a great taster of various functions, introducing me to top companies and potentially new interests and opportunities. Thank you so much to everyone who was involved to make this event happen and congrats to all the cohorts for completing the internship 🎊 'The only thing that holds you back is yourself' #IEUK #Internship #BritishAirways #Networking #ProfessionalGrowth #CareerDevelopment #Sustainability #CommunityEngagement

During 3 months of internship (feb to Apr) Live Project Last week of (feb 27) Created Todays Task (Inauguration Section)

I Quit My First Internship Within 3 Days – And It Was the Best Decision Ever! As they say, failures are the biggest teachers of your life. There is something good always hidden in the face of adversaries. During my graduation, there was a mandatory 2 months of internship as part of the curriculum. As it was my very first experience of corporate life, I was very nervous for the same. However, when one of the biggest hotel chains called me for an internship offer, I was thrilled with the prospect of learning about the hotel industry from the experts. My first day went by smoothly in orientation and the document formalities. After that, I was allotted the bakery section to work in. The bakery of that hotel was situated in the underground where my phone caught no network and not to mention the never-ending working hours. The interns were treated no less than grade 4 workers. I could not tolerate any more and left the internship in between and got to learn the 2 biggest lessons of my life! - KNOW YOUR WORTH - Recognize your value and don’t settle for less. TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS: If something feels wrong, it probably is. Trust your gut and have the courage to walk away. Shortly after, I secured another internship where I thrived, learned immensely, and felt valued. Tell me if you have gone through something like that in the comments and like if you connected with the story. #internship #hotel_industry #academic_life #failures #LifeLessons #BoldDecisions #SelfDiscovery
