Working in MOF as intern..is it a good idea?

Hey Che,

Do you think it is a good idea working in MOF as a personal assistant with internship pay?

Dad called yesterday and he seemed to be a bit unhappy. Maybe i am thinking too much. He ask me to claim the International Driving Permit fees from MOF which i think it quite hard to do. The feeling i get is that he thinks i am always being shortchanged whenever i go and not making money for myself. Like i say maybe i think too much.

I mean the reason why i want to join MOF is because i am working directly under the CEO which means i will learn a lot from her in terms of managing a F&B business. So i am not really concern about the pay as long as they don't pay me too little.I am more concern about the experience i will get, which i think i will.

Do you think i am shortchanging myself? Do you think i am dumb? Like i told you before, if i want to make money i won't work for MOF. Moreover, i always believe such things are investment. I need to gather enough experience in order to earn big bucks next time.

I really hope i am doing the right thing and making the right decision. I know God thinks i am right coz he was the one who gave me this opportunity in the first place.

Just a thought i have at this moment. Would be great if i can hear your views :)

  1. Hey Ah Wai,
    I do not think you are the least bit shortchanging yourself, I think he feels like you are being taken advantage of.

    Well I think that if they are really paying u peanuts then u shud fight for it, honestly i think it will be a good experience considering if sumtin very different than your actual job moving forth.

    U can check/ask whether u are able to claim but honestly I also think its rather hard, keep this in mind..he is just looking out for your best interest but if you are really sure and adamant im sure dad will support u 200%, come u shud knw our dad better than that.

    Pray harder and ask God's opinion abt this direction and really listen with your ear not ur heart bcoz somehow u really gung ho abt this..

    Put it this way there is no experience we gather that will go to waste, maybe its part of his plan/in ur DNA waiting to be trigger ;)

    You keep me updated on this offer and let's see how it is~
