Capital placement - MISK international internship program

This experience was unlike no other.
From getting the acceptance letter to riding the flight home at the end of the program felt like a dream !
Especially with capital placement’s support on many topics and and aspects of the program and the general life in London where I stayed for two months given the help of CP that provided me the internship, though there were many hurdles along the way CP definitely made sure that we knew that they were doing their best at all times to insure that we got the best possible experience while me and my peers were under their care! So thank you and may another chance comes along for me to collaborate with then ones more!

Capital placement

The program I was a part of was 8 weeks long and took place in London. Being a part of a great and inspiring city shifts your view on life, issues, and career. This experience was transformative, not just professionally but also personally. Being immersed in a multi-cultural environment allowed me to develop a deeper appreciation for diversity and global perspectives. It also taught me invaluable communication and adaptability skills. It gives a glimpse of living in a specific city and it would be a great introduction if anybody is thinking of moving.

Pros
  • Explore city while working
  • Develop soft skills
  • Get to know inspiring people
Cons
  • City was expensive so we had to learn money management

Capital Placement

Capital Placement made my transition from student to intern a breeze! From hosting webinars, to daily Zoom meetings, they truly prepared me for the internship experience! A highlight would definitely be the social gatherings/meetings they would hold to catch up, bring up concerns, or even just to hang out and let off some steam! They advocated for the enhancement of our future careers, and encouraged networking with different companies and organizations for our own benefit. Thank you Capital Placement!

Lovely experience with CP

Finding a good opportunity wasn’t easy but they offered help to find a suitable position for me. Which was one of my best experiences in my life after graduating.
I was a bit lost and nervous before my interview and one of the team calmed me down and guided me to do my best.
I enjoyed going through this internship .. meeting CP team was one of my favourite moments they helped me a lot through my staying.. I got sick and they offered help.. it was easy to reach out to them. Their events were fun and lovely.

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.
