ITE401 AIN QALIDA - MY WEEKLY LOG

"Don't let yesterday take up too much of today." - Will Rogers During this week, I helped Uwais, one of the interns with the posting for the company's social media. We consulted with Fahda about the contents and the captions. I also continued preparing the marketing boxes for that week. Since the upcoming Online Protege Program held in early August, Mira and I engaged with the participants in the Whatsapp group about all the information needed and also reminded them to do their assignments in Learning Edge Academy. Ms. Faridah, the director of Business Development taught me to reply and answer the FAQs properly and gave some advice.  Besides that, I continued to edit the training modules and slides, assigned by Hakimi. We divided it according to the category and set up our KPI (key performance indicator) which we have to complete at least 3 for a day.  We managed to complete quite a number of modules before this upcoming Hari Raya Haji. 

"Doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment." - Oprah Winfrey Coming to my week 4 of the internship, I submitted the past tasks given by Hesh and continued helping Mira and Hakimi, one of the interns, in editing all of the training modules. They were 147 modules to be edited and we divided it accordingly, led by Hakimi. Next, I also helped Mira in creating a name list for the next batch of the Online Protege Program and learned how to email corporate amendments through emails. We also prepared a new batch of marketing boxes to be sent out to the clients.  During this week, I also helped Haris and Aliff from the Design team to retype all of the contents for our founder's upcoming book (Mr. Perthpal) entitled Thrive. Haris also taught me how to use editing tools and shared some tutorials for future reference. Other than that, I also learned how the podcast was prepared from Aliff. Even though I did not know much about the camera and recordi...

"Success is best when it's shared." - Howard Schultz (Chairman & CEO, Starbucks) It's the third week of my internship and everything was great. I continued helping Mira to make calls and attendance taking for the Protege Program. During this week, I learned how to prepare and send the marketing products (Protege box and Team Works box). When the listed companies interested in Learning Edge's programs, we will send them an introductory box, consist of a name card, brochure, sample activities, and sample modules of the program offered. Fahda taught me how to choose and use courier services, and how to contact and deal with them. From these tasks, I learned how great teamwork and well-managed customer service create good results.  It was indeed a hectic week for the Business Development team so I helped Aidil and Mira in editing Vellsoft (training modules file) by transferring it from Microsoft Word to Pages. These training modules will be uploaded into the compa...

"Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes." - Oscar Wilde During my second week of internship, Hesh assigned me a few tasks including articles and editing modules. There were two articles that I needed to summarize and rewrite for Learning Edge's website.  I had learned that when creating an article, it does not have to be necessarily lengthy but keep the main points and example clear and straightforward. Fahda, one of the Business Analyst guided me thoroughly on writing an article as well as proofreading before I sent it.   In addition, I also helped Hesh in editing one of the modules that need to be revised. Hesh's concern was that the modules seem too plain and wordy. It was a point-form module with minimal colors and long sentences. At first, I found it to be quite hard to simplify while keeping the important points as well as making it interesting to look at. I asked for advice from the staff and searched through the internet for guidance. After a while...

"I still get the jitters every time I start a new job! I love it - makes you feel alive." - Camille Guaty The exact feeling for my first week of internship. It was an opportunity for me to do my internship at Learning Edge as I had heard many great things about them. This was my first time working in a company so I prepared myself very well. On my first day, I was given a little briefing by my industrial supervisor, Heshwinder Oon, who is the person in charge of Training Solutions. He explained to me about the company's products and programs offered and also gave a tour of the office and the company's studio. I also got the chance to talk with other staff in the office and learned things that they do in the company. When I felt very nervous or anxious in a new place, I tend to just smile, acting like I am okay. Luckily, they were very friendly and supportive. They gave me a lot of advice on that day. During my first week, I was assigned by Hesh to practice and make a ...
