Wouldn't trade my summer in Hong Kong for anything! Life changing.

I would recommend the Absolute Internship Hong Kong program to anyone looking to advance their career and want to travel abroad. My internship in recruitment and HR has definitely prepared me for life after graduation - how to look for a graduate job. The experience in Hong Kong has been the star on my resume, something that all employers want to talk about when interviewing.
The program makes it really easy for you, providing you with a transport card, show you how the public transport works, takes you the best tourist spots (as well as the best hidden ones!), set you up with awesome housing and of course the internship. I met amazing people not only from the US but also from Australia, Italy, France, Sweden and the UK through this program. I encourage everyone to travel abroad and take advantage of the Hong Kong program by absolute. It was a summer I will never forget.

Absolute Internship Hong Kong

It was a great experience interning in Hong Kong. Absolute was there for me all the time and made me feel welcomed, safe and content throughout my month in Asia. The events and activities put together were great to get know all the other students and also to explore the city.

I couldn't have asked for more. Absolute delivered more than what I expected.

Great program.

Aurélie was great! Absolute Great experience in Hong Kong.

It goes without saying that my experience in Hong Kong with Absolute was over the moon! Amazing.

In Australia, H&M is not that well-known, but to have the opportunity to intern in such a prestigious international company and be surrounded around amazing and creative people like that for 2-months was a tremendously positive experience. I learned so much during my time at H&M about the fashion world but also about the aggressive expansion that the company is undergoing as of this moment. Employers and even professors now back in Australia have been extremely impressed of my international experience in Hong Kong.

Aurélie and the Absolute Team was there for me at all times for any support. From finding the best shopping places in Hong Kong to giving great career/internship tips. She is such a wonderful person!

It was overall a fantastic experience.

Thanks Absolute and Aurélie!!

Highly recommend Absolute Internship!

Choosing to do an internship overseas with Absolute Internship was the number one best decision I have made in my life. From the start of my application, I was reassured that I had made the right decision choosing Absolute Internship for my overseas internship.

I chose to complete a Marketing Internship. Coming to Hong Kong it was the first time I ever traveled overseas alone. Scary? Yes. Excited? Absolutely yes.

I missed the official airport pick-up hours that Absolute has with the program, but Aurélie who was one of the Directors was so kind to pick me up at the train station 10 pm on a Friday evening (Thanks Aurélie). I really appreciated that and made myself and my parents feel very comfortable about the organization.

About Hong Kong itself, what can I say? It's the absolute most amazing place I've been to. Police everywhere - it's very safe! Great food. Wonderful shopping (compared to Australia). The other interns are literally from all around the globe, we had some from Norway, some from the US, Latin America, New Zealand.. it was truly an international experience.

I would highly recommend the program to anyone who is looking to do an overseas experience, have an awesome internship and great time!

Business Internship - Just Awesome

I came to HK expecting an average experience and program. My time was just awesome. The staff is one of the most friendliest people I've ever met. They showed us how to get around with the subway, tramway and the bus. They also showed us where to eat, where to do shopping and how to get to work.

I loved our weekend in Macau which definitely was a highlight of the program. I also loved all the other events that were organized by the program. HK was just an awesome experience that I always will cherish.

Excellent experience in Hong Kong

I completed a HR Internship in a head hunting firm in Hong Kong. I was very warmly welcomed at the firm, there were staff that were both local and some were from the UK and some other colleagues were from France. I had a British supervisor who was very helpful, inspirational and supportive. I learned a lot from my internship.

Besides the internship, I really enjoyed my time in Hong Kong with Absolute. The organization was very helpful in terms of setting me up with a visa, arranging fun and exciting events, arranged great accommodation and provided excellent support. The Absolute staff was always there for us and were extremely resourceful.

Highly recommended!

Awesome summer with Absolute!

I'll never forget my summer in HK. Before joining the program I had never visited Asia. This was the very first time that I ever took a plan alone and traveled so far away from my family and friends so I was of course really nervous about this program.

Absolute Internship made the process very organized, comforting and structured for me. I ended up doing a Marketing Internship in HK for 1 Month with a startup. I loved my time at the internship but also the program was awesome. The weekend activities that Absolute Internship put together were well-organized, fun and exciting. I also found the other participants to be great, I made lots of friends as there are students from all around the world in the program.

I would really recommend Absolute Internship to any student who is looking into stepping out of their comfort zone. Don't hesitate or think twice. The summer in Hong Kong changed my life.

TIME OF MY LIFE

I did a Fashion Internship in Hong Kong with Absolute Internship and I loved it!!
I completely agree with everything that all the other positive alumni have written about this wonderful organization. They work so so tremendously hard to make sure that us interns have a great summer. We even had one of the Directors of the organization come and visit us one weekend.

I would recommend Absolute Internship in a heartbeat and the Hong Kong program to anybody who is looking into doing an internship abroad. I would even love to return to Hong Kong, it's such an amazing city. The city's food, nightlife, shopping is just top class. Nothing that I've ever experienced in my life before.

Absolute Internship made my experience unforgettable. The planned events that we did, excursions and trips, career talks and the wonderful people that I met - I would have never had met them with without this amazing program. Thanks guys for the absolute best summer ever!
