Reflection of a Trainee in a StartUp

 

It has been 2-months since Ellaine our first BOLD #SGUNITED trainee left us to return back to her passion in Early Childhood Education after a mini detour. Here's an honest interpretation of what she really feels of her Bold Traineeship with us:

 
 
 

#1

What she says:

' I never knew i liked the predictability and routine of a school day until i was taken out of it'

What It really is:

If your life lacks excitement, you may find it here. There's no two similar days. Some days you have the best of work-life balance, other days you'd be churning out facilitation guides and reports for multiple clients within 2 hours. Not to mention-- project manage....and... you get the drift. 😂

#2

What she says:

'I missed the security of being experienced and knowledgeable in what i was doing'

What It really is:

What security? New clients, new partners, new context and new challenges. Adaptability will be your most needed survival kit. Truth is, you'll be exposed to a range of partners and be tasked to create with what you have, because we are dealing with youths/young people/humans. No one thing sticks.

#3

What she says:

'Everything was new and shiny and I had so much fun soaking up all the knowledge and just being in such a different work environment.'

What It really is:

YES! Aside from adaptability, being able to enjoy the process and take it like it is a new adventure is key over here at BOLD. Being in a startup that’s barely 4 years old, there are many things that you will be exposed to that you'd never once been taught.

#4

What she says:

Bold at Work, to me, was kind of that first sip of ice-cold lemon water. Cool, refreshing, and invigorating

What It really is:

Psstt.. it may cause you to have brain freeze after hahaha
