Paris Internship

Being in Paris alone for work was scary and overwhelming, but with the help and support of everyone that I have met with this program made my experience ten times better and more comfortable. The program's emphasis on community was evident through organized social events and collaborative projects, fostering lasting friendships. The support system within the group helped navigate both professional challenges and everyday life in Paris.
I recommended it to many of my friends and family and I would do it again! Thank you all!

What was your funniest moment?
Reuniting with the group after the first day of work, I didn’t know what to expect but the whole group made me feel better. We laughed a lot about our first days.
Pros
  • The amazing people I have met
  • The experiences I have gotten
  • The lessons I learnt about myself

Fun and rewarding

Embarking on an overseas internship program is a leap into the unknown, a journey that promises growth, challenges, and the opportunity to step out of one’s comfort zone. My recent experience with such a program was nothing short of extraordinary, and it is with great enthusiasm that I share my reflections on this transformative adventure.
From the outset, the warmth and professionalism of the staff were evident. They were not just facilitators of our daily schedule; they were mentors, confidants, and, most importantly, friends. Their approachability and readiness to assist with any concern made the transition into a foreign environment seamless and stress-free. Whether it was navigating the nuances of local etiquette or offering advice on professional matters, their expertise was invaluable.
The program’s structure was a thoughtful blend of educational and experiential learning. The cultural workshops served as a window into the heart of the host country’s heritage. Through interactive sessions, we delved into the intricacies of traditional customs, food, and art, gaining a profound respect and understanding of the cultural tapestry that makes the region unique.
Parallel to these cultural deep-dives were the career seminars. These forums were a goldmine of insights, equipping us with tools and strategies to excel in our respective fields.
But an internship abroad is more than just work and learning; it is also about experiencing the joys of new places and creating memories that last a lifetime. The visit to Paris Disneyland was a day where the magic of childhood fantasies came to life. The laughter, the thrills, and the sheer delight of being in one of the world’s most beloved theme parks was a welcome respite from our busy schedules.
The weekend tour to Strasbourg was another highlight. This picturesque city, with its blend of French and German influences, was a revelation. Strolling through its charming streets, admiring the historic architecture, and savoring the local cuisine was a cultural immersion like no other. It was a reminder that travel is as much about the places we see as it is about the people we meet and the experiences we share.
In conclusion, this overseas internship was an unparalleled experience that I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone seeking personal and professional enrichment. It was a journey that challenged me, inspired me, and ultimately, transformed me. The memories I’ve made, the skills I’ve acquired, and the friendships I’ve forged are treasures that I will carry with me long into the future.

Absolute internship review

Experience was great! Very fun activities and even better program leaders! I loved spending time together and they also respected our privacy and importance of our jobs. Very global experience where I got to see a lot of the entire country of France as well as become very familiar with different aspects of Paris. The job I had was amazing and I never felt like I was alone or lost or in trouble because of this program. I would tell anyone that is looking for international experience to try absolute internship 100%.

What was your funniest moment?

Paris '22 Internship

An ABSOLUTEly brilliant experience! The intership offered the right balance of working abroad, culture and fun, group bonding activities. I've met so many lifelong friends from all over the world which made the experience truly unforgettable with many "remember when in Paris..." conversations. Our internship coordinator, Aurora, was brilliant - always there to support and recommended all the hidden gems of Paris! The firm I was matched with for my internship was such a great fit as well, and has really opened up another world for me in terms of working culture and all the other customers. Would love to go back and experience it all over, and would definitely recommend it to anyone who is thinking about interning abroad!

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
I would recommend exploring the city as much as you can! Paris is such a beautiful city with loads of culture - I would definitely recommend exploring the hidden gems whether that'd be restaurants, bars, museums and parks whenever you can, especially after you finish placement during the week. I made many of my unforgettable memories on spontaneous evenings out and about, especially with the weekend trips to other towns with Absolute!
Pros
  • Learn a lot about the working culture a customs
  • Independence - the program allowed me to be independent and explore the adulthood realm, with plenty of support around when needed
  • Organised trips to explore other parts of France, so you're not always in one place (even if there's loads of explore in Paris itself)
Cons
  • A month went by too quickly - there's loads to get done / see so going for 1+ months would've been more suited but of course, there's choice on the length of the programme!

Why travel abroad

You will discover yourself and create friends who will last a lifetime. You will become more confident in yourself and the way you act in life, and you appreciate living to the max.
Working in Paris has been an incredibly influential experience for me. Yes, to everything! From the bustling streets filled with history to the enchanting aroma of freshly baked croissants wafting through the air, every moment here feels like a scene from a dream. The opportunity to immerse myself in the rich culture of French civilization, language, and cuisine has broadened my horizons in ways I never imagined. Saying yes to every opportunity that comes my way has led to unexpected adventures and unforgettable memories. Whether it's sampling local delicacies at a quaint bistro or exploring hidden gems tucked away in the city's charming neighborhoods, embracing the spirit of adventure has made my time in Paris genuinely magical. You never know when the chance to embark on such an extraordinary journey will come again, so seizing every moment has become my mantra. After all, life is too short to miss out on the experience of a lifetime.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Say yes to everything! You never know the next time you'll be experiencing this type of adventure, you don't want to miss out on an experience of a lifetime.
Pros
  • Trip of a lifetime

Amazing

I always knew I wanted to study abroad in Paris and absolute internship gave me the best avenue to do that!! I learned so much and gained valuable cultural experiences. I also go to make some pretty awesome friends along the way. It is something that I will always remember and cherish. My leaders were very insightful and always down to have a good time with us while remaining respectful and still our leaders. They really taught us about where we were and why certain cultural events were occurring. It was the best experience ever!

Paris : An Unforgettable Experience

This program was whole new experience for me, despite being the only lebanese of the group i never felt out of place and alone. Everyone was so welcoming, friendly and unique in their own way. I made friends for life and learned quite a lot from this time in paris. From work responsibilities to navigating through the city to making memories with people from all around the world, this internship was my first step out of my home country and my first step out of my comfort zone. The city of paris is unforgettable and the fun always makes me want to go back. I truly believe that without absolute internship I wouldn’t have had the same experience and choice of internship in one of the best legal office for arbitration. Our program coordinator managed to be a support system for all of us at the same time and always making sure we were safe, learning and exploring. I genuinely recommend this program and thank the whole team and the interns at the time for everything, Paris was a blast and i’m even pursuing my masters degree there! So get out, have fun and most importantly grasp this opportunity! You’ll learn a lot on a professional and personal level.
