WITH
REEBONZ
Working in a start-up is like driving on a
racetrack! Each day we innovate. Each day
we strive to do better than the previous
day.
And being an e-commerce player means
keeping at the top of our game.
This makes our work culture fast-paced
and very active.
We impart learning by getting young
individuals to dive into the depth of work.
We teach through experience and allow
them to make mistakes and learn from
them.

3. WEIMING TOH
Intern
Global Marketing Department
I have learnt how to communicate with people
from different departments. It might seem like a
no-brainer, but when everyone wants to get their
part completed, communications tend to become
more hostile. It is always important to see getting
work done as the most important priority.
Also, sometimes it is difficult to communicate
your ideas to other departments. The best way is
always to meet up face to face when you need to
communicate a new idea, as opposed to using
online means.
I have also learnt more about the marketing of
luxury products online, with my mind trained to
work faster in the area of copywriting.

4. WESLEY WONG
Intern
Corporate Development & Strategic Projects
The exposure to all the various work streams I’ve
had the opportunity to be engaged with has
broadened my understanding of strategic
projections as well as the e-commerce industry
as a whole.
This internship opportunity has truly allowed
me to bridge the gap between the classroom and
the workplace and understand the various
implications of what I have learnt in university.
The trust that my boss had placed in me to
handle larger responsibilities was a major
catalyst for my growth of both confidence and
professional capability.

5. WEN ZHANG
Intern
FINANCE Department
During my internship the assignments I worked
on are familiar with what I studied in school.
And I learnt by applying my knowledge into
practice. However, there is big difference
between the school projects and actual work. In
school, I only study the examples and cases
which guide me to a general picture of how the
real things work and the most important part is
to understand the problems and to solve them
appropriately. At work, the problem is more
complicated and the situation will be changing
all the time. And it will not be that straight
forward so I need to learn how to implement the
techniques into the different situation. And
there may not only be one way to get to the
destination so finding the shortcut and
improving the efficiency is also very important.
The internship was definitely a good
introduction to the actual work field for me.

6. PHOEBE CHOONG
Intern
Singapore Sales and Marketing
Department
As my internship progressed I got more
responsibilities and had to know how to prioritise
and find the most efficient way to complete all
these on time and quickly. Efficiency was key.
Although data tracking can be monotonous after a
few weeks, I started to enjoy it when I saw how
the numbers were reflective of the changing
trends. In other words, it is no longer
“transferring data to excel” but more of “what
causes the numbers to be so and so”.
I also learnt that it is important to voice out
concerns and ask for clarifications when in doubt.
Localisation is another important aspect to keep
in mind. A certain campaign suitable for one
country may not be as suitable for another. So one
must have the foresight to understand this.

7. FELICIA TANJAYA
Intern
Creative Department
My stint at Reebonz gave me a taste of what
working life is actually like.
Work was very fast paced. It made me speak up
more and build my communication skills.
In terms of my design, I learnt new creative
artwork styles like flash banners, and worked
extensively on Photoshop which deepened and
strengthened my knowledge about the software,
something I rarely get to use in school.

8. ALLICIA YING
Intern
Merchandising
It is essential to be detail-oriented and be able to
think on your feet. I used to think such traits are
only more applicable to certain careers e.g. event
planning, but that is definitely not the case.
In situations where work load can be high,
prioritizing your tasks plays an even bigger role
and one would need to be more adaptable
towards the change in work order or workload.
It is also crucial to take initiative and have the
drive to learn and grow. This would allow us to be
more involved with the organization and work
together with everyone to achieve company goals.
