My Experience with Capital Placement

My experience with Capital Placement has been nothing short of exceptional. From the initial consultation to the final placement, the team, particularly my coordinator Yash, provided invaluable support and guidance every step of the way.

Being from the U.S.A, the prospect of navigating the London internship landscape initially seemed daunting. However, Yash, my dedicated coordinator at Capital Placement, swiftly dispelled any concerns. He took the time to understand my professional goals and tailored his approach accordingly.

Yash's assistance went beyond simply securing interviews. He meticulously reviewed and refined my CV, ensuring it resonated with London employers and highlighted my strengths effectively. His insights into the job market were invaluable, and his feedback significantly enhanced my application materials.

Yash's assistance was helpful during the interview preparation process. He gave me detailed advice on what to expect during interviews, useful recommendations on how to effectively showcase my talents and experiences, and conducted mock interviews to help me gain confidence and refine my responses.

For any student or young professional looking for an internship experience in London, I definitely recommend Capital Placement.

Working with Capital Placement

It was a pleasure working with the capital placement team. From the initial interview, test, and CV preparation with Sehani to engaging with their placement team, notably Yash and Nan, who carefully listened to what I wanted from my this program and worked hard to find me a great role. I'm grateful to Yash and the rest of the team for the support throughout the process, though he was not my primary contact he worked towards finding me a suitable role after a brief initial meeting. He has a great deal of understanding for what his candidates are looking for!

An Incredible Experience

From the first meeting with Mishi, followed by the excellent work done by Sehani preparing my CV, and finally came Yash, who took the time to understand who I was not just on paper, and delivered the perfect company within two weeks. He helped me understand the company, helped me prépare slides for my presentation and I imagine he was cheering for me on the sidelines, because we were equally excited. I got a job offer within an hour from the time the interview ended. Incredible is an understatement.

Wonderful experience, with outstanding assistance from Yash.

You'll find the ideal internship program through Capital Placement. The team in Capital Placement was excellent in assisting in locating the ideal fit for me and also offered CV optimization tips. Yash was the person assigned to help me and he gave excellent support at each step. He was able to understand my requirements clearly and got me an internship offer within 2 days after onboarding. I have secured an internship at a firm that aligns with my interests. Working with them to assist in locating a placement is something I recommend.

What is your favorite travel memory?

My favorite travel memory is my trip to San Franciso. It was a four-day trip where I explored the city on my own and visit the most iconic places San Franciso is known for. My first stop was the Golden Gate Bridge of course. I recall being soaked in the rain and treating myself to a warm cup of coffee at a coffee shop facing the Golden Gate Bridge. My next stop was the Ghiradelli square and their hot chocolate was the best I have had thus far. Every tourist that visits San Franciso takes a walk down Lombard street; which is a steep, narrow street known for its eight hairpin turns. Fisherman's Wharf is one of the busiest tourist areas in San Francisco and one should not miss out on being treated to its popular clam chowder in sourdough bread bowls at one of the local restaurants. Like any other popular city, San Franciso to has a China town. For those who appreciate art and nature, San Franciso offers many art museums and gardens that you can explore. The Victorian Style houses which are now apartments and the iconic cable cars speak of the history of this city. Don't forget to try hop into local coffee shops in San Francisco if you love to expand your caffeine experiences. I recommend starting from The Buena Vista; known for its signature Irish coffee since 1916.

How have you changed/grown since working for your current company?

Capital Placement is all about work-life balance. The company culture encourages travel, fitness, and exploring the unknown! I was encouraged to pursue things that I have been wanting to do for myself for many years but I only found the time and confidence to execute them after I started working for Capital Placement.

What is the best story you've heard from a return student?

The best story I've heard from return students is that interning abroad has changed his perspective on life as a whole. Being exposed to people from different cultures and living in a new environment has really pushed him to move out of his comfort zone. Interning abroad is well beyond learning transferable skills. It's about developing open-mindedness and experiencing diversity.

If you could go on any program that your company offers, which one would you choose and why?

We offer programs in London, New York, and Singapore. I have already been to Singapore and the United States. Therefore, I would love to explore London as I have never been there. Our London Summer program is a short-term program that allows you to intern for a London-based employer and experience life in London. The program also provides accommodation which makes it hassle-free.

What makes your company unique? When were you especially proud of your team?

What's unique about Capital Placement is its diversity and we are all passionate about traveling and exploring the unknown. We are a global team with a great cultural mix and all of us have lived abroad for work or education or both! This makes us a team that lives by what Capital Placement offers - an international experience.

What do you believe to be the biggest factor in being a successful company?

Empathy and transparency. These I believe are two key factors that contribute to being a successful company. Being transparent in our business processes and how we operate as a business establishes trust in our customers, teammates, and all other stakeholders in the business. Having empathy allows you to gain a deeper understanding of what is expected by the other individual. This level of awareness and understanding are needed to work harmoniously and to meet and exceed customer expectations in a business.
