“Marking this as spam”, “I’m not interested, stop emailing me”, “Your message has been declined” - for the first time in my life, I'm on the receiving end of these rejections.

Being part of the Global Innovation Immersion (GII) programme is the best decision I’ve made since joining SMU. Before diving into how I stumbled upon GII and how I have reaped great rewards, I thought it’ll be interesting to share the backstory.
"What an amazing summer! When I signed up for GII, I underestimated how much I would learn and have fun in Thailand. Throughout my internship, I felt very involved in the workplace and rarely had any downtime at work. Beyond the great support networks from GII and gaining professional connections, I have also made lifelong friends. I have loved every moment of this experience and would do it all over again in a heartbeat.
"Throughout the summer of 2022, I had the opportunity to take the role of a Product Management Intern at Pomelo Fashion in Bangkok City, Thailand. Interning overseas at a fast-moving fashion-tech company was a new and daunting experience at first.
"Joining GII was undoubtedly one of the best decisions I've made at SMU, and I am still grateful for the opportunity that GII has provided me. I've had the opportunity to work with a diversity of talented engineers during my time at Workstream.
"Working in an overseas startup was truly a treasure trove of learning opportunities and experiences. I have been exposed to different working cultures worked with colleagues from diverse industry backgrounds, and came in contact with high-level executives.
