Q Do you feel shy about being a delivery rider or when letting people know you're a delivery rider?

L:No.

WHY?

I'm proud to be a rider because it is not an easy task.

"We started off feeling nervous for our first shift. We were unsure of what to expect, however the foodpanda rider community has been very welcoming and approachable. It is always easy to ask them for tips and advice whenever we need to. " Adrian & Ler Sh

Q Do your friends/parents know you deliver for foodpanda? What are their thoughts about it?

A:Yes! My parents are happy that I'm earning some extra money rather than playing computer games. My friends are also envious of the benefits of being a rider, like the flexibility and ability to earn more than typical part-time jobs.

Q What advice would you give to students like yourself who wish to deliver with foodpanda whilst furthering their studies?

A:Be humble and know your limits. Ultimately, studies should come before earning money. Always stay safe and ride carefully!

L:Practise good time management so you can work and study at the same time.
