Apparently, this has became an issues who those who apply for internship training in our company. Yet, it is even more Complicated (if I am to borrow the word from Facebook) after they have consulted their lecturer…
“MUST” – It is just an office cubicle and it this really matter? Well, the most you can learn out of this limited space are: Bosses occupy the largest room doing the least work; Students sitting like Sardine with the oldest machines in the office.
“formal working hour and office environment” – Your colleague will show you what is so-called ‘formal’ by coming late and back home earlier. Your bosses? Hmm, you probably meet them once a while if you are lucky. The office environment? Make sure you have a office-politic survival kit with you all the time.
“Night working” – Smart you, lecturers. The Night working only sounds that your students are kind of working at those kinky night club. If not, what else?
“virtual office” – Ah Huat Restaurant needs an address because they have walk-in customers. For those without walk-in, is the office address really matters to your customers? I don’t print my address on my namecard because what my customers looking for are good services and support, they don’t care if I am operating from Pandora.
