I just completed my 'A' Levels in 2017. I am pretty free from now till about August/September. I have applied for some internships and in the event I am not accepted at all, I wish to take on an office administrative job.

Truth be told, I have zero working experience. Zero. Z E R O. I didn’t attend those industry experience programmes in secondary school or junior college because I was always holidaying with my family. I have never even worked in retail or whatever other industry. No McDonald's, no Burger King, nothing.

My dad is extremely against me taking up this administrative job because he says its a waste of time and that I will merely end up doing free labour. He insists that photocopying stuff, answering phone calls and running to Starbucks to buy coffee for people is not going to look good on a resume. Hello, nobody writes those stuff in actual detail right?

Not to mention I don’t even know how to use a photocopier so me figuring things out on the spot would make for quite a sight.
