Jealous?

As I mentioned in my previous post, I completed my internship with Worthy Book based in Kuala Lumpur. Worthy Book is a coupon-book that offers various types of discount and great deals on dining, entertainment, health, beauty services and retail services. 

Even though I stated that my internship wasn’t easy in the previous post, somehow I enjoy working with the company. One of my job scopes that I liked the most was to redeem vouchers and use the services. Yes, it was indeed very nice. So in this post, I would like to share my experience redeeming one of the vouchers. 

My first task was to redeem a free session of spa treatment with a voucher at Ecoparadise. The most exciting part of this “job” was to redeem the voucher during my working hour (if you could really call it that). This outlet was located nearby my office, so I just walked there and make an appointment a day earlier to ensure there would be an empty slot. 

The voucher also included 50% off for a single session therapy
and two "buy 1 free 1" therapy vouchers at the price of RM20

Tada! How many of us can get a FREE therapy during their working hours?

This is the Ecoparadise outlet located at The Garden Mall, Kuala Lumpur

A lady briefly explained to me what Ecoparadise Antioxidant Hotbed Therapy was about before I get to enjoy the treatment.

These foods and liquid had been preserved well and hadn't rot for so many years

This is me after changing to their attires - I shall soon learn Shaolin Kung Fu

The room was so hot when I first entered. The lady asked me to keep myself hydrated during the therapy, as I will lose lot of water in this hot room. I kept sweating but my mind and body felt relaxed.

I fell asleep at the hot sizzling stone.
But it makes me feel so good after the treatment!

After 40 minutes of hotbed therapy, I was asked to take a 10 minutes rest before taking a shower. I felt refreshed and relaxed after having the therapy.

Get a cup of energy drink after the therapy!

Get to relax in this room after the therapy!

So this is one of my experiences for redeem vouchers. To be honest, this was my first time trying out a hotbed therapy. I was so lucky that I got to experience this during my internship. My supervisor told me that “internship is the only moment you will enjoy working”. Well, it sounded to me like “working life is hell” (I hope my job will be this cool and fun in the future).

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed reading my awesomeness internship experience! 

Feel free to leave your comment or feedback down below! :) 

Cheers,

Intern Excitement - The Joys of Getting Published

Three days into my internship and I’m actually loving it.

My main roles so far have been social media posts, including the brainstorming of potential blog topics, editing and drafting several posts for a medi spa and health clinic, along with writing some Facebook posts for several different clients.  I was extremely excited when Melissa called me into her office to show me my posts queued to be published!  It was a great feeling over the following days to see my work posted on behalf of the clients (and consequently I have been stalking their pages to see each update).  I also got to see a marketing strategy in the final stages and contribute to some parts, with the Magnetize girls presenting it to the client the next day with some of my work included.  It was interesting to note that the format for the strategy was indeed very similar to those we have prepared at uni - a relief to find that I already know the basics! 

As I really enjoy writing and playing with words to fit into themes and messages, these tasks have given me a huge sense of accomplishment knowing that my strengths are of assistance to the company.  I’m very grateful to Mel and the team for giving me jobs that are actually necessary for them, rather than slave labour jobs like photocopying that some of my friends have unfortunately had to do.  The praise for doing a great job is a mega confidence boost, and I can feel myself improving on things already.  I am also learning lots about time management in the industry, with efficiency and attention to detail being very important in the marketing and PR world. 

Now the initial nerves have worn off, I am confident that this industry is something I can look forward to being a part of in my future career.  Each day has led me to doing something different, and it is so great to be told you’re good at something by people you admire.  I am really excited for my next day (a whole week away L) and cannot wait until I can get a proper job in the industry.  I can definitely see myself as a corporate businesswoman either in the city or areas like Subiaco – having a coffee in the morning in a trendy café suits me very well!

Until next time.  I’m going to try and remember to ask at least one good question each day I’m there so that I can learn even more and make the most of the Magnetize team’s knowledge.  I hope everyone is enjoying their roles as much as I am and are learning lots!
