For Future Enderun Interns

A Letter to Future Interns at GLMP

By Aaron Chan · Marketing Intern, June – August 2026

If you're reading this because you're about to start your internship at Global-Link MP Events International, congratulations — you're in for a genuinely good one. I want to be upfront and useful, not just encouraging, so here's what I wish someone had told me before I walked in on day one.

You'll be trusted with more, sooner, than you expect. Treat that as the real test.

GLMP is a fast-paced B2B events company, and the Marketing team moves at the pace of the events themselves — several running in parallel, each with its own calendar, deliverables, and deadlines. Within my first couple of weeks I was given access to a master content calendar with hundreds of pages of scheduling for a single event. That kind of access is a privilege, not a formality — come ready to actually study how it's structured instead of just filling in what you're told.

What to Expect

01 Clarify your work hours in writing on day one. Confirm your start and end time directly with HR and your supervisor so there's no ambiguity later — it'll save you (and whoever picks you up) a lot of hassle.
02 Most day-to-day communication happens over Viber, not face-to-face. Get comfortable checking it regularly and responding promptly — that's largely how tasks, feedback, and updates get relayed.
03 You'll get a real mix of creative work (pubmats, captions, even web development if you show initiative) and admin work (spreadsheets, research, reporting). Both matter, but it's fair to speak up if a task genuinely isn't a good use of your time — I did, respectfully, and it was heard.
04 Ask questions early and often. The pace doesn't leave much room for guessing, and the team would rather clarify upfront than fix something after the fact.
05 If an opportunity outside your exact job description comes up — a website, a new format, a new tool — take it. My biggest growth moment wasn't a scheduled task; it was volunteering to help build the IDM 2026 event website.

On Ms. Steph

Whoever ends up as your supervisor, I hope they're anything like mine. Ms. Steph was patient, understanding, and genuinely invested in her interns' growth — she guided me through the whole experience without making it feel like she was just managing me. That made a real difference in how safe it felt to ask questions and admit when something was hard.

Last Thing

This will likely be your first real taste of a 9-to-5 corporate environment, and it's a genuinely good place to have that first experience. Show up on time, stay curious, don't be afraid to ask for more responsibility, and don't be afraid to advocate for yourself when something doesn't sit right. You'll leave with more than a completed requirement — you'll leave knowing a lot more about what kind of work you actually want.

Good luck — you'll do great.

Thank You Note

To My Supervisor, Ms. Steph

By Aaron Chan · August 13, 2026

Dear Ms. Steph,

Thank you for guiding me through every step of my internship. It was a privilege to have you as my supervisor, and I appreciated every single day I spent at Global-Link MP. From the very beginning, you made me feel like part of the team, and I am deeply grateful for that welcome and for the opportunity to have my very first internship here. I will carry the lessons I learned with me and put them to good use in everything I do next.

I am especially thankful for the chance to share my passion for marketing with you. Watching how you carry yourself as a supervisor — patient, understanding, and genuinely invested in your interns' growth — has shown me exactly the kind of marketer, and the kind of leader, I hope to become one day. You have set a standard I will keep working toward long after this internship ends.

Of everything I worked on, building the IDM 2026 website is what I will remember most. I had never finished building a website before in my life, and starting and actually completing one here, using skills I did not fully know I had, was one of the proudest moments of my internship. Creating pubmats for our events was just as meaningful; every project, big or small, taught me something new and let me put real curiosity and care into the work.

I also want to apologize for any inconvenience I may have caused along the way, and to thank you, again, for your patience and understanding through it all. I am hopeful that your team continues to flourish, and I know it will, because you are the kind of supervisor and mentor that so many people are lucky to learn from.

Thank you, Ms. Steph, for everything. I will cherish this experience and carry it forward as I continue growing into the marketer I hope to become.

With sincere gratitude,

Your Marketing Intern,

Aaron Christian John O. Chan
