Best Desicion ever!

The first time i walked through the streets of Sydney it was just amazing to me! I'm doing an internship in the marketing department of a cultural exchange program. My first work day was great! I've got fantastic collegues and a great mentor. She always helped me, if i got any questions. During my internship i've improved my English as well as my work experience.
I've learned to work with different program tools. I also was accountalbe for the social media programs, which helped us to gain more customers.
To work in a different country - which isn't your hometown is a challenge. But it helps you in so many ways!
Australia is such an amazing country and really worth visiting! And if you were so lucky that you also can work here, then you should do it! It's a different attitude to life in Australia and i only can say that i love that! The people here are more positive than in my hometown. I can't imagine that my great internship is over and i must leave this great place to live. So everyone who's think about doing an internship in Australia exactly in Sydney - Just do it!

Best experience I've ever had..

Be an open minded person to accept negative feedback, be friendly to your surrounding and try to adjust yourself to participate in the office's activities.

Pay more attention to learn new things and be motivated to gain knowledge as much as you can.

What would you improve about this program?
So far all good.
Nothing to be improved.

Productive Internship

My internship was a very valuable experience. I learned how five star hotels run their marketing campaigns to attract customers and also did some real marketing for them.

I advertised and monitored the Hotel's pages on most popular websites for booking events from which I learned about online marketing. I also researched companies that can give potential business to the Hotel.

Moreover I also spent some time in the Hotel's banquet department learning how all the meetings are carried out and the efforts that have to give a five star service to the customers.

Overall I had a lifetime memorable experience and enjoyed everything I did.

Internship experience

It was a great opportunity to work with a huge well established organisation in their head office at Sydney.
The projects assigned to me gave me the confidence to put my marketing skills to optimum use. I never felt that i was being over burdened with work and the whole experience proceeded in a very relaxing but exciting pace.

Challenge yourself

The biggest challenge is settling in to both a new country as well as a new place of employment. You will definitely come out of it a more well rounded person.
The biggest highlight will be the variety of tasks you are faced with, both personally and professionally.

What would you improve about this program?
It would be beneficial to somehow be able to compare internships before accepting. Whether this be through reveiwing feedback from previous interns or being able to compare a number of internships before having to accept.

Amazing experience

My internship and my adventure in Sydney (during 3 months) was totally amazing !
Regarding the internship I discovered a lovelly and friendly staff. It was a multicultural company in Bondi Junction. The location was perfect (near shopping center, near my home stay, near the beach,...)
Regarding the adventure Sydney and Australia was simply amazing ! This is a beautiful country with a lot to do and to discover. The population is welcoming and very multicultural.

What would you improve about this program?
If I can change one thing it will be the length of the internship. Australia is so pleasant to just stay 3 months.
