Australian Internships

That I haven't seen anything yet. I have merely scraped the surface of the places I wish to go, and I can't wait to embark on so many future adventures.

It's so much new! It can be so exciting yet so draining when every single thing in your daily life becomes something unknown. Having to scope out every place you wish to go, even something as simple as getting groceries or mailing a post card can be quite difficult when you don't know a single person or how to get anywhere.

We were in Cairns. I was scuba diving. My scuba instructor showed us every creature from the movie Finding Nemo, from squirt the turtle to nemo (clown fish) himself. I was delighted. He then made the hand gesture for a shark. I looked down and there was this three meter shark chilling below us. Do you know how hard it is to scream with scuba gear on?

My mindset has been completely changed. At uni in the States, I am in a rush 100% of the time. I can barely get my thoughts together, let alone listen to those of others. This internship has taught me the value that others' can bring to your life, and how much you can learn from simply having a coffee with someone.

I think simply being placed in a location, where I am a day's journey (by plane) from anyone I previously knew and from any place I previously knew is an experience. You have to pioneer your way through each part of your life, which can be tricky but also fun and opportunistic for exploring.

Medical research IS HARD. For every 19 failures, I get 1 success. But the 19 failures build character, more than the 1 success ever will.

I never thought I would be able to navigate so effectively. Not just with directions, but in meeting and getting to know others as well as immersing myself in a new culture.

In one day, just 24 hours, I jumped from a plane, took a helicopter ride, went scuba diving, almost got eaten by a shark, and found nemo.

I love hearing stories where every opportunity to experience Australia was taken in every aspect – from the food and the nightlife to making lifelong friends from all over the world. This program is all about ‘once in a lifetime’ opportunities and hearing that my students took risks and were brave enough to try new things makes me excited for their future and proud of their journey.

I would choose to complete a 6-month Professional Internship Program as I believe it would give me the skills and experience that I am currently lacking in my chosen field. I also believe that Australian Internships has the resources to find an opportunity for me that is directly related to my Human Resource Management Degree in a city in Australia that I may not have visited before.

Australian Internships offer an Internship Program and the word "Program" means so much more than I could have imagined. We tailor each Internship to the individual applicant and support them before, during and after their Internship. Along with this, each of us in our individual roles develope personal relationships with our stakeholders to ensure we are performing best practice in everything that we do.

Something happens each day which makes me proud to be a part of Australian Internships - my team really go above and beyond and I couldn't complete my role without each individual in the organization.

I believe that communication holds the greatest importance of any successful company. Communication throughout the organization and with stakeholders ensures that policies, procedures and best practices are being implemented. This creates a respectful and understanding culture for everyone involved throughout the process.
