I had no skills or experience in Marketing but in less than 3 years, I’ve learned enough to <strong>lead our social media team</strong>!</p><p>While at Hiredly, 2 of my proudest achievements were creating viral TikTok videos and growing our Instagram following from 8.8k to 22.4k.</p><p>I’m no one-trick-pony either, I’ve even mastered Adobe Illustrator and Premiere Pro!</p><p><strong>In my experience, I haven’t done the same thing for more than 6 months each time</strong>. I went from creating content based on a given direction to planning and deciding the direction of our social media myself.</p><p>It can get a little chaotic sometimes but I appreciate the level of trust I was given in such a short time.</p><p>I’m aiming to go higher and with the company growing, I’m excited to see how my skills can be put to the test further!</p><h1><i>“I discovered where my strength lied.”</i></h1><h2>– Hafiz, Sales Operations Executive</h2><p><img class="image_resized" style="width:100%;" src="https://blog.hiredly.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Hafiz_intern-1-768x1024.png" alt="" srcset="https://blog.wobbjobs.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Hafiz_intern-1-768x1024.png 768w, https://blog.wobbjobs.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Hafiz_intern-1-225x300.png 225w, https://blog.wobbjobs.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Hafiz_intern-1.png 1075w" sizes="100vw" width="768"></p><p>I was an Architecture graduate and at first, I struggled to adapt to the real career world but my internship at Hiredly prepared me well.</p><p>As an intern, my day-to-day task involved several parties in which I was the middle person. It taught me a lot about communicating clearly. <strong>Miscommunication and misinterpretation were the biggest challenges for me but</strong> <strong>I was given space to learn from my mistakes</strong>.</p><p>From that experience, I developed a better understanding of my job scope and discovered what I thought was my biggest challenge was actually my strength. I’m proud to say that now I am able to adapt to all kinds of situations without breaking a sweat!</p><p><strong>I learned so much about myself during my internship</strong> like realizing I enjoyed and was great at entertaining people and handling inquiries.</p><p>When I was offered a full-time position, I accepted it with an open heart. This was the career I was looking for!</p><h1><i>“I got to marry my strength to my interest.”</i></h1><h2>– Saliza, Digital Marketing Executive</h2><p><img class="image_resized" style="width:100%;" src="https://blog.hiredly.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Saliza_intern-1-1024x683.png" alt="" srcset="https://blog.wobbjobs.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Saliza_intern-1-1024x683.png 1024w, https://blog.wobbjobs.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Saliza_intern-1-300x200.png 300w, https://blog.wobbjobs.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Saliza_intern-1-768x512.png 768w, https://blog.wobbjobs.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Saliza_intern-1.png 1434w" sizes="100vw" width="1024"></p><p>As someone with an engineering background, numbers and formulas were always familiar to me, but I’ve also always loved being creative.</p><p>It’s why I decided to apply for an internship at Hiredly.<strong> I knew I wanted to give myself the chance to</strong> <strong>try something completely new</strong>.</p><p>During my internship, I was given the chance to <strong>explore different career paths</strong> and really find out what worked best for me given the skills I had.</p><p>The team took my interests and strengths into consideration and carved a path that best suited me.

I learned how to study the potential of an idea and prove it with data – it’s the best way to convince others your idea works!</p><p>Before my internship, I never would have imagined speaking to hundreds of people at a time. Much to my surprise, as an intern, Hiredly trusted <i>me</i> to represent the company!</p><p>I got to speak to high paying clients, present our ideas and participate in discussions. Now, you’ll even see me host public speaking events.</p><p>My internship also got me involved in large projects – projects that helped me discover my strength in Project Management and Coordination.</p><p>I credit where I am now in my career to my internship experience. <strong>My colleagues took me seriously as an intern and trusted me with tasks that propelled my learning</strong>.</p><h1><i>“My internship prepared me for the real working world.”</i></h1><h2>– Eleanor, Senior Executive, Brands &amp; Communication</h2><p><img class="image_resized" style="width:100%;" src="https://blog.hiredly.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Eleanor_intern-1-1-1024x576.png" alt="" srcset="https://blog.wobbjobs.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Eleanor_intern-1-1-1024x576.png 1024w, https://blog.wobbjobs.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Eleanor_intern-1-1-300x169.png 300w, https://blog.wobbjobs.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Eleanor_intern-1-1-768x432.png 768w, https://blog.wobbjobs.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Eleanor_intern-1-1-1536x864.png 1536w, https://blog.wobbjobs.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Eleanor_intern-1-1.png 1792w" sizes="100vw" width="1024"></p><p><strong>My internship at Hiredly gave me an accurate taste of real working life</strong>. Not many of my peers could say that as an intern, they played a key role in a project’s success!</p><p>The first big project I got to work on was our Career Fair in 2017 <a href="https://www.digitalnewsasia.com/digital-economy/job-portal-wobb-rebrands-hiredly" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">back when we were still WOBB</a>. I was only a few months into my internship, too.</p><p>I had to personally speak with high-level clients and invite them to participate in our career fair, so it was very nerve-wracking!</p><p>I’ve had my fair share of experience organizing events when I was in university, but nothing can compare to what I felt once I saw this Career Fair come to life.</p><p><strong>What made my work more rewarding was knowing that</strong> <strong>in my own way, I helped people get jobs</strong>. That Career Fair was the starting point for many people’s career just as this internship was mine!</p><hr><h3>At <a href="https://my.hiredly.com/jobs?utm_medium=article&amp;utm_source=career_advice&amp;utm_campaign=6_ex-interns_spill_the_tea_on_what_it_was_like_interning_at_hiredly&amp;utm_content=freelancing_malaysia,_job_seeker,_job_opportunities" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Hiredly</a>, we don’t care about your educational background or work experience.
