Do More of What Makes You Awesome, It Is Not An Ending!

Hi everyone. Yup, it's me again. First of all, I still cannot believe how fast time flies as I started my internship on 1st of December 2015 and just ended my internship on 29th February 2016. There were a lot of bittersweet experiences that I have learned along the journey of my pr internship with Interhill Group of company. I am kind of missing the staffs at the company as they treat me very nice during my internship. I also started to get the insight in to how the industry works.

What I learned during my internship is that, we need to be:

FAST, 

EFFICIENT, 

know how to CARRY YOURSELF, 

GOOD COMMUNICATION SKILLS with people surrounding you, 

CREATIVE, 

Do your work ON TIME,

TEAMWORK, and 

most importantly DO NOT be SHY.

I am quite a shy person, not too loud and not too quiet the kind of person. So, throughout this internship I became more comfortable to be out of my comfort zone. I started to talk to people, I made friends with the staffs. I made a few calls and received phone calls from time to time, I did press releases and helps my manager with any events that was hold by our company, I also did media clippings, media scanning, taking photographs, and the after school project activity with the children of Rumah Anak Amal Kesayangan Kami during my internship. It was a wonderful experience for me and I am so thankful to have such opportunity. I enjoyed my internship so much and I hope you guys will enjoy your internship too. All the best guys!

Being Adventurous on the first week of Internship is quite cool

Hi everyone,

I am very excited to share my experience on the first week of my internship as I had so much fun and having a great learning experience from it. First of all, I started my internship on 1st December, 2015 with the Interhill Group in Miri, which involve in the business of sustainable forestry development and property development. 

On the first day of my internship, our department went to the Upper Baram to celebrate pre-Christmas with the Penan communities of Long Kabing and Long Kawi. It was a 3 days and 2 night trip to Long Kabing. The trip took at least 5 hours before we reached the nearest campsite. It was my first time travelling to such rural places and it was awesome. The trip was great except for the bumpy road from Long Lama to Long Kabing’s camp site, but I will never ever forget this experience, I will treasure this memory for a long time. We even have a short interview session with some of the villagers at the camp site regarding their lives in Long Kabing to understand what they need and what the Interhill Group can do to improve their lives through the CSR program in future.

We celebrate pre-Christmas with the villagers of Long Kabing and Long Kawi on the second day of our trip. The children and adults were happy to receive the sweet gifts from us. The distribution of sweet gifts is a symbol of celebration and appreciation towards the Penan communities as they work together with Interhill to strive for a better future.

As soon as we back to Miri, we had another activity for the next day, which is the fun, educational visit to fire station with the children of Interhill’s After School Project. We learned a lot about the function and scopes of firefighters during the visit. The firefighters also gave extra tips to us regarding the precautions that can be taken to avoid any unexpected circumstances. The visit was very informative and we learned quite a number of interesting facts about firefighters.

Overall, my first week of the internship was adventurous yet fun. I went to the places that I have never been before, making new friends, and gain a lot of new experiences from the activities made by our department.

I hope everyone has enjoyed their internship as much as I am. So, do share your story with us!
