It’s almost time for internship period and if you listen carefully, you could probably hear the clacking sounds of the keyboard as students update and spruce up their resumes. But what good is the most amazing resume if there is no recipient to read and be wowed by it?
We decided to sift through the internship opportunities available in Singapore, so here are 10 of our top choices compiled.
1. Google Singapore
