Hear from some of our recent interns
Bihao
Intern, Summer 2020, FWD Group
“I first joined FWD as an intern and turned into a permanent employee upon my graduation. During the internship programme, I enjoyed working on various projects with different people across the wider Group, involving multiple functions and local entities, which widened my horizon beyond Singapore and inspired me to be a part of FWD’s journey in changing the way people feel about insurance. The mentors were willing to give guidance and I had a good time with new friends.”
What we're looking for
The following are just some of the qualities that define our people. The question is: do any of them sound like you?
- You have some of your best ideas in uncertain or ambiguous situations
- You thrive in a feedback environment (it’s how we all grow, and learn)
- You have a passion for digital that extends beyond the classroom
- You’re an early adopter, with a constant eye on new trends as they’re happening
- You’re a natural collaborator. You’re the first to support your team – and you’re not afraid to ask for help, or a second pair of eyes
A simple application process
- Submit your CV alongside a note that tells us in no more than 250 words: 1) how you consider yourself to be digitally savvy 2) something innovative you have done, and 3) why you’d like to join FWD.
- If you’re shortlisted, you’ll receive a phone call from a member of our team, who will get to know you better over an informal chat.
- Provided both parties are still interested, you’ll then be invited to a face to face or virtual interview with one of our team managers, designed to assess your technical and behavioural skills, as well as give you the opportunity to ask questions of your own.
- Successful candidates will then be offered a place on the FWD summer internship programme.
