Author’s Blurb: Internships can come with a bad rep sometimes. On one hand, you’re getting paid in experience, but on the other, you might be overworked and not compensated enough, if at all. When I was applying to internships for my final semester in uni, my priorities were that it was a company that created meaningful content and offered decent pay.
As getting a full-time job right off the bat may not be an easy achievement for many who are unemployed in this current situation, internships are the next best thing.
There’s always something to be learnt, and they typically only last 3 months or less anyway, if your plan is still a full-time job sooner or later.
We took a look at what companies in Malaysia are currently looking for interns and offering pay of RM500 up to RM1,000.
During our search, we managed to find 23 under several different industries with recent job postings, but do note that the list is also non-exhaustive.
The job postings were made between August to September 2020, and we chose that timeframe so that there’s a higher possibility of the roles still being vacant.
All information listed below is accurate according to their respective job advertisements at the time of writing.
