Questions & Answers

Staff Interviews

These are in-depth Q&A sessions with program leaders.

What is your favorite travel memory?

I have been very lucky to travel around the world before settling in New Zealand and have a lot of favourite memories. To choose one it would have to be New York.
It was always a dream of mine to go there so when I go the opportunity to go there with Intern NZ Intern OZ I jumped at the opportunity. It was everything I ever dreamed off and of course, I visited all the tourist spots like Times Square, Brooklyn Bridge, Central Park and of course shopping at Macey's! I just wish I had more time to explore more of New York.

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

Since I started working at Intern NZ Intern OZ, I have definitely grown professionally and personally and this is down to my colleagues I work with and our candidates. We have a pretty cool team where everyone is very supportive of each other and love the work that we do. Our candidates range from International and Domestic so we have an interesting mix of people that we get to work with.

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

The best stories are when we have candidates that are doing internships so they can get a foot in the door of their desired industry. When they are employed soon after either by the company they are interning with or another company, it feels good to know that we have been able to help. A lot of our candidates are relying on the experience to help them get a kick start in their career so it is a pleasure to be a part of that.

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

I would love to do a Virtual Internship. It is our newest programme and with Covid-19 it's all about working online. It is the new normal. I would have the opportunity to upskill while also learning how to be a valuable part of the team while working remotely. I think this is a great skill to add to my CV.

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

There are so many things that I am proud of with our company and these include how we as a team value our candidates. We care about the experience that they will be gaining and their well being. We have a very strong support system in place. It helps that we as a team work really well together and have clear and open communication.

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

We may be a small company but our success is largely down to how well we all work as a team. A lot of our candidates come through word of mouth which will show that we do provide a good service. We communicate really well to ensure we are efficient and are very supportive of each other. We also have many opportunities available to us to learn and upskill.
