Review

I've always wanted to travel and experience the world. However, I've always been too timid or afraid to travel by myself. In fact, this internship was my first time overseas without my parents. As a result, I was petrified. However, as soon as I arrived in London, the Absolute staff made me feel at home and were always there to comfort and support me when I needed them. Honestly, without them, I would have felt lost in the giant city of London!

Moving on, what better way to start the year then travelling to an amazing place and getting work experience on your CV. Honestly, I get to explore one of the most amazing cities in the world whilst getting valuable work experience. The work experience was amazing and my supervisor was possible the kindest person I have ever met. My internship was also a great opportunity to see what field I would like to work for in the future. Additionally, the work experience has given me an upper hand in the ultra competitive finance market in Australia.

My time in London was 2 months and although it's not possible to ever finish exploring London, the Absolute staff took me to amazing places in London I wouldn't have found myself(as well as taking me to Paris and Brussels). They took me to restaurants, tourist attractions, bars and other amazing places!

Lastly, the people I met on this trip were best people I've ever met. Everyone from Absolute, my internship and other interns were amazingly nice and caring. They made the experience an experience I'll never forget.

For people thinking of going on an Internship with Absolute, I highly recommend that you seize the opportunity and go! Yes, you may feel scared and home sick. But, that feeling almost disappears once you met the people and explore London. Plus your CV will thank you so MUCH in the years to come
