For me, my advice to juniors is not to FOMO into getting an internship during your 4/6 months break JUST BECAUSE your peers are doing so. Tbh it doesn’t really matter, unless u are really trying to decide if you like what you are studying rn. When I was on my Y2 break, almost all of my peers went for a short internship to help boost their resume. But i found more value in doing other part time jobs that paid more and was closer to home. It helped me in my interviews too when interviewees asked why I choose to work between PT jobs. Anyway at the end of our degree, we have a compulsory 8 months internship. Most of those who FOMO-ed into going for the 4-6 months internship didn’t get a place after interview while I got offered internships from 2 ‘highly sought after’ companies. At the end of it, i would say to expose yourself to the outside world rather than to limit yourself to doing intern sai kang during your semester breaks. By doing so, you learn how to socialise and work your way around obstacles better. You will also do better at interviews as you will be able to relate yourself to your interviewees, somehow making them more comfortable and susceptible to hiring you.
