Name: Tobell

Internship Position: Management Consultant – MCAP#4, Management Consulting (MC)

Tell us about your responsibilities, the scope of your work, and your involvement in the projects.

“During my internship in the MCAP program, I had the opportunity to work on two projects. The first project involved developing a data governance strategy for an organization. Our scope was to identify gaps and design mechanisms to address these issues. The challenge of this project was understanding people’s emotions, so we had to simulate scenarios, asking ourselves how we would react to these situations.

The second project focused on studying and planning development strategies for the government sector. We had to analyze case studies from other countries and find implications that could be applied to Thailand. This showed us that Thailand still has a lot of potential for technological development. Being part of this project made me feel like I was contributing valuable work and creating an impact.”

What do you like about interning in Management Consulting with a technology-focused company like Bluebik?

What impressed you the most during your internship at Bluebik?

“I appreciate the supportive environment at Bluebik. When I joined the project, my team took the time to explain the overall picture and the work that had already been completed, ensuring I fully understood everything. They taught me manners and etiquette while providing opportunities to present my work. This made me feel like a true part of the team.”

What skills did you discover or develop in yourself during the internship?

“I discovered that I am organized and can structure tasks effectively. The team trusted me and gave me ownership of certain parts of the work from start to finish, allowing me to develop many skills through real experience. I also learned which areas I am good at and which ones I need to improve.”

“MCAP gave me the opportunity to work on various projects, with a very diverse scope—from conducting research and preparing presentations to forming hypotheses and breaking down issue trees. I was treated as a key team member in these projects.

The main challenge was that I had never worked in consulting before, but I managed to get through it, thanks to the constant support from my supervisor and team, who were always there to help, no matter what questions I had.”

What do you like about interning in Management Consulting with a technology-focused company like Bluebik?

“What impressed me the most were the people. Everyone made me feel like this place was home—a place for learning and a safe space. The working environment here is very positive; everyone is friendly, and there’s always laughter. The supervisors also guided me in finding a career path I genuinely enjoy. Even after completing MCAP, I can still reach out to them for advice.”

What skills did you discover or develop in yourself during the internship?

Additionally, I improved my communication skills and learned how to create effective presentations.”

Name: Mue

Internship Position: Project Management Officer Consultant, Strategic PMO (PMO)

Tell us about your responsibilities, the scope of your work, and your involvement in the projects.

“In the beginning, I had the opportunity to assist with Sales Strategy and participate in high-level meetings, which was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. When I transitioned to PMO, I went directly to the client’s office, supporting the team with tasks like taking meeting notes, conducting research, and preparing presentations. This gave me a clearer understanding of PMO. As I started to understand the work context, I felt like I was pushing myself to new limits.”

How did your expectations before the internship compare to your actual experience?

“I wanted to understand the process of Project Management and see what elements are involved. Fortunately, the project I worked on had just started, which gave me a broader perspective and allowed me to see the entire consulting process—from client engagement to recommendations and actual execution. I also learned about frameworks and best practices through hands-on experience.”

What are the key lessons you’ve learned during your internship at Bluebik?

“It’s all about grit and a growth mindset. I gained hands-on experience that deepened my understanding of consulting work. Many projects were technology-related, so I had to continuously learn more to fully understand the work content and stay engaged in discussions.”

“I loved the team I worked with. They were very supportive, always ready to explain tasks, and continuously checked in to ensure I kept up with the project status. Everyone was very friendly and kind <3”

Name: Pras

Internship Position: Project Management Officer Consultant, Strategic PMO (PMO)

Tell us about your responsibilities, the scope of your work, and your involvement in the projects.

“On the first project, my responsibilities included taking notes during meetings, capturing key points, and tracking the tasks each team needed to follow up on. I also reviewed the minutes of meetings before sending them to the client and worked on a deliverables checklist.

Later, I joined a new project that had just started. I took on more tasks, from structuring presentations for weekly and daily reports to assisting the team with slides and researching company information. I learned a lot because it was work I had never done before.

How did your expectations before the internship compare to your actual experience?

“I expected to learn the real workings of a PMO role within a consulting company, as I wasn’t clear on the actual responsibilities. After starting the internship, seeing what the team does daily helped me better understand the scope and responsibilities of a PMO.”

What are the key lessons you’ve learned during your internship at Bluebik?

“I’ve learned that in real work, completing tasks isn’t just about getting them done; it’s about doing them effectively. It’s not just about following instructions word for word, but also thinking critically about what needs to be done to achieve success.”

What did you like the most about your internship at Bluebik?

“I liked how the team taught me tasks I had never done before, but they didn’t tell me everything. They encouraged me to think for myself about how to approach things. The team also took care of us as interns, ensuring we felt like we belonged, leaving a strong impression on me.”

Name: Tajee

Internship Position: Marketing Communication (MKT), PR and Marketing

Tell us about your responsibilities, the scope of your work, and your involvement in the projects.

“The scope of work is quite broad because each person on the marketing team has different responsibilities. For example, one person handles media, another manages events, and another focuses on digital marketing. This gave me the flexibility to choose the type of work I was interested in and ask to assist the team members.”

How did your expectations before the internship compare to your actual experience?

“I expected to try new things that I had never done before and step out of my comfort zone. During the internship, I had the chance to tackle tasks I wasn’t good at, like content writing, which may seem easy and doable by anyone but is actually very challenging. It requires a lot of attention to detail and proper grammar in both Thai and English. I had to constantly come up with new words and ideas. It was a great experience that opened up new perspectives for me.”

What are the key lessons you’ve learned during your internship at Bluebik?

“To do good work, you need to have a good team. From the very first day, everyone on the marketing team was very friendly. They were always willing to help and involve me in conversations. The hot-seat system in the office allowed me to meet and get to know people from different teams. I also joined the basketball club, which helped me connect with seniors from various business units.”

What did you like the most about your internship at Bluebik?

“I liked the environment here—it’s very friendly and supportive. I was given opportunities to try new things, including tasks I never expected to do. I got to present in meetings and participate in various events, which made me feel like I was able to explore many different aspects of work.”
