World’s Coolest Intern



Hello, I am Bryan Khoo... a 22years old University students... I have a story to tell...




On a peaceful Monday, which is today I write this post... I casually check on my email inbox... and I saw a mail that really caught my attention... which is from nuffnang and the topic is

Do you have what it takes to be the World’s Coolest Intern?

It is a contest by Nuffnang and Standard Chartered

this is the link



After read through it, I am really motivated and my heartbeat is increasing...

and I thought

"This could be the opportunity of my lifetime!!!... I need to try it out... I need win it!!!"

So... this is my story...
now is the time to prove to Nuffnang and Standard Chartered why I can be the
coolest interncandidate...

First of all, as everyone knows Standard Chartered is a British based international
financial service company.
Thats why It is truly a privilege and honor if I can have a 6months intern at there...

So, it begins!!! How to prove that I am cool?

For me, cool can be explain into four words

Caring, Outstanding, Outgoing, Luck...


which is COOL!!!

CARING

To be a cool person, you need to caring towards other...
I believe I have this attribute...
I care for my loves one, families and friends... and for sure I will care towards
Standard Chartered, nuffnang and my future colleague too...
Throughout my life, I am taught by my family to love and care for others...
and for sure caring by heart and mouth is not the best...
because action speak more than a thousand words.
I even join myself in voluntary works.

This is one of my trip to northern Thailand...


OUTSTANDING

Second is outstanding, to be a cool person you need to be outstanding in crowd.
And I confident that I have this trait. I have confidence and gift in public speaking
and stage performing. In a multinational company like Standard Chartered,
we will meet many different people from different country, language and culture.
I can speak in 3 main language fluently English, Mandarin and Bahasa.
Plus, I have experience in working team of multinational, especially in my part
time monavie business.
I communicate and sharing many stuff with different people from Spain,
New Zealand, Europe and many more countries.

Therefore I believe I can use my soft skill perfectly during the intern.

This is one of my gathering with my business partners



OUTGOING

Third, is outgoing. It is undeniable that a cool person have outgoing personality. Frankly I think I am an outgoing person. I have sense of humor and speak confidently with manner. I can bring life and fresh air to an event or groups in a room. And I believe it is important in business and working environment to have fun and laughter too.

I involved in free hug campaign in my university



LUCK


Finally is luck!!!... anyone needs a bit of luck to success. And I believe that even we ourself can create luck with efforts and hard works.

I wish to bring luck and sunshine to Nuffnang and Standard Chartered!!! ^^



So this is how I prove I am COOL!!!... Moreover, my surname is KHOO... So many people call me as MR. COOL... haha

Lastly, I want to specially thanks Nuffnang and Standard Chartered for this extraordinary opportunity... I really hope I can win this cause I really passionate and motivated for this intern. And surely I hope I can contribute something to Nuffnang and Standard Chartered by having this intern... Thank you very much and have a very nice day!!!....

Hi Khoo,

Not gonna lie, my heart skipped for a second when I read the email and I was automatically ecstatic about the opportunity. Also, my heart skipped for a sec when I saw this post. I was like, one of the best post ever written about the topic. Not the mention, a tough competitor for the opportunity being vied for. haha Well that is to be expected, the opportunity is great, which requires equally great people! Best of luck to both of us. :)
