Internship
Internship
seems like a long term of training camp for me. It train the way I think, the
way I work with people around me, and it actually show me who am I. I really
appreciate that I being assigned to CBS team although throughout internship
period, I did complain lots.
I
was being offered by both Seagate and Altera Company at the early of April.
However, I rejected Altera just because I don’t like the manager (quite funny +
stupid reason). And after that I actually got a little bit regret to reject
Altera just because such stupid reason. However, till the end, I still very
grateful that I choose Seagate as my internship company.
Although
I being bully much in Seagate, but I cannot deny that I really learn much if compare
with my friends. I was thrown as much as work that I able to do (just because
they think I am capable enough). I was the busiest intern in Seagate. I seldom
have the time to relax, to chat with other intern. What I always did during
working time was face computer, chat with my end user and did coding. Crazy and
I actually very jealous other intern as they have their own free time to watch
movie, chat with others, scrolling fb during working hour. However, from what I
heard from them, they also jealous of me as I can learn so much, able to teach
people, able to communicate with end user throughout this period. Ya, I admit
it, those are a very good and memorable experience for me. And I actually miss
those moments in Seagate after my internship end. What a crazy thinking, I have
a thinking want go back continue do coding and work together with my colleague.
I think I should be crazy already as I have such thinking.
By
the way, I think I miss moment in Seagate just because I got a very caring
mentor. Her name is Mandy. She teach me lots of things although she always on
leave or go training. Haha, I still remember my first month in Seagate; she got
two week plus not coming working. She was the person always worry and encourage
me to pick up the challenge. Give me to handle the project alone, to
communicate with the end user alone, guide a new hire to handle a big
application worry about me when I not concentrate with my things, and praise me
in front of my manager. Even when she on vacation, she still come and check my
progress, check on my presentation slide. All her action actually makes me feel
warm. When I face any difficulties or cannot gain trust from project manager,
she always are the one who help to explain and solve the things. She always says
guiding me is her responsibility but I don’t think so. I was being assigned to
under her, but she can just throw the task to me and dun care me anymore. She
always busy with her task and still have to take care of me. Because of her, I
feel like I not an intern but a part of Seagate employee. I being treat fairly
and I able to behave like an employee. That is what I really feel touch and
thanks to her sincerely.
Those
moments in Seagate, I can say got up and down. I always the one who get play
around by my colleagues, I am the joke during cbs weekly meeting, being fooled
and get bullied. I cannot believe that, I get played until my farewell party.
At that farewell party, I really can feel that my colleagues wish I can come
back to work in Seagate again because I am one of their Pistachios.
I thought I will be a different person, more mature when step in working
environment. But from the way my colleague treat me, I seem like still a little
girl in front of me. A pure, silly,
always smile, responsible, dedicated and always think about others girl. That
is what they comment on me. It seem like no different with my behavior in uni.
Dunno is a good thing or not. Haha…
Below is the message from my dearest mentor:
Dear
Jenny:
We
will surely miss you. Hope you enjoy your final year in USM before you step
into working environment. I am so happy to have you as my teammate, a
responsible, dedicated and quick learner. Continue your good spirit and wish
you have a good future. Jiayou!!!
FROM your “best” mentor
Comment
from my manager:
Chin Nei came to Seagate as an intern but in a short period of
working exposure, she has ramped up her learning curve to learn Force.com
development to be a full developer. She was given full exposure to software
engineer's life for leading eLeave application right by adopting full Agile
development lifecycle till application deployment. In that course of time, her
communication skill and analytical skill improved vastly. She was able to
articulate and participated actively in all the communications between with end
users and put into perspective the right kind of development needed. She was
quick to solve all tasks assigned to her. Her constant walkthrough with her
mentor has increased her confidence and vastly improved her technical skills. I
look forward to see her career growth with this kind of right aptitude.
I was very happy and appreciate that I have the chance to work with
everyone in CBS team. Keep in touch. ^^
