A day in my life as a GSK intern

GSK (GlaxoSmithKline) is the 10th largest pharmaceutical company, a British MNC with global HQ in London!

To put it into perspective, it manufactures everyday supplements and medicine we take like Panadol, Scott’s, Advil, Centrum. Besides consumer healthcare products, they also specialise in vaccines!

I started my internship in June as a Finance intern in their Vaccines site. This day was the media event day because they were celebrating the launching of their new Hepatitis B plant!!

Started my day at 630am and took the company shuttle to work! A bright and sunny day hehe good vibes ☀️

I was in charge of checking in & ushering the VIPs into the venue. There were CEOs and site directors who flew all the way in from UK, and the VVIP was Minister Gan Kim Yong!

Guests started streaming in at 9am, and the groundbreaking event took place from 930-1130am. Feat our happy faces after we got to enjoy many pastries hehehe yumz

Ended our half day duty with a group photo! ANDDD back to looking at excel files and numbers 🫠

This was a pretty exciting day, and I was very fortunate to have been able to be a part of it because they don’t have such events often! The last one was approximately 15-20 years ago.

My experience so far has been fulfilling and I love how everyone is friendly + always willing to help! I appreciate that I don’t feel like I’m inferior as an intern here because everyone is treated equally and with respect 🫶🏼
