Review

Having the chance to live and work in London is something that I've always wanted to do, so I jumped on the chance to spend an entire summer making that happen. WeFindGroup has and continues to make so many international business connections that no matter what your interests, you will be matched with an internship that is perfect for you.

WeFindGroup was able to place me in an internship that allowed me to use my pre-med and business backgrounds, as my company had a division devoted entirely to improving the efficiency of pharmaceutical manufacturing. I learned firsthand just how global the scope of medicine can be, and I learned many professional skills along the way, including problem solving and critical thinking. Yes, there will be some roadblocks along the way during your internship, as most of the problems you face at work will be much different than those you face in school. You may encounter vague instructions from supervisors, and sometimes you might even feel like you don't know what you are supposed to be doing, but with the support of your internship coordinator, Madison, you will learn how to overcome these challenges to make the most of your professional experience in the U.K.

In addition to developing your professional skills, being in London has it's perks too. It is one of the most culturally diverse and exciting cities in the world, and there will be no shortage of things to do during time abroad. Take advantage of London's location and travel to some of those places you've been dying to get to! (I highly recommend the Scottish Highlands). Remember that you can stay with the other interns in Madrid FOR FREE, and trust me, Madrid will not disappoint. Be sure to meet as many people as you can during your stay so you can have those friendships that span across continents. I cannot recommend this program enough, so if you're ready for an unforgettable experience in an unforgettable city, then what are you waiting for? Go for it!
