Mandri is the best!!

If you get Mandri helping you find your position, consider yourself lucky!! Captial Placement were very responsible and attentive in finding me a position that best fit my wishes as well as my interests! They really consider you as a person and work with you in finding you an internship that will set you up on an industry you will truly enjoy. Something that you will be thankful in your future career endeavours. One thing for potential candidates to keep in mind is that finding a position and getting a visa, especially to the US, takes time. Trust in Capital Placement, they accepted you in your initial interview for a reason. They know that they can find you something, and are working for you to do so!

Pros
  • Career advancement
  • Life changing international living experience
  • General life experience
Cons
  • Difficulty finding housing
  • Living on a smaller wage

I will certainly share this feedback with her which I am sure will make her day. We are all so glad that you enjoyed your internship in New York and we can't wait to watch you achieve all your career goals!

A Huge jump in my career

Capital placement was incredibly helpful with helping me pursue my career. They went out of their way to help me get exactly the type of internship that I want (which is not a very common career field) and assisted me every step of the way from my interview all the way to being sponsored by the company. They respond to emails very quickly and immediately provide assistance with any questions or problems you might have. The whole process took around 4 months. I am currently working in London thanks to the team of Capital Placement!! Thank you!

Capital Placment internship review

I had the best experience internship abroad with Capital Placment. From the continuous support they provided before the internship and how they match you with the PERFECT employer (they really good at this!!). Then their warm welcoming in the airport providing great transportation to comfortable hotel with decent breakfast I spent 2 months in London they always around caring, responsible, and kind. My biggest concern was to feel homesick but I never felt that you do not have time to feel that actually :D. They do many engagement activity like going out with group to Winterland and supporting workshops.

Finally, I would love to share that from this internship I got a great opportunity to be partner with my employer to start a startup in my home country in my beloved field!

Capital Placment internship definitely a LIFE CHANGING experience to boost your professional career path!

Big thanks to Capital Placment team Viney, Niran, Angle , and Josh

Pros
  • Great overall experience
  • 24/7 team support
  • perfect match with the employer
Cons
  • Nothing

CP Internship Program

Very flexible program!

Allows to explore London whilst growing work skills, employer is of very very high quality!

I was able to work remotely and explore many of my hobbies in London, so I was able to meet many different people as well as engage with the program coordinators. I would do it again blindly.

Another great part was the ability to learn from other’s experiences and compare the work culture, giving a wider view to what a successful workplace should look like for me, it’s people as well as the social scene.

Pros
  • Flexible
  • Rewarding
  • Memorable
Cons
  • Transportation fees
  • Housing location

Internships in London with Capital Placement

It was a wonderful program that helped me in preparing for work and life in London. I have a great overview now on what it is like to be working in London.
It was amazing and organised, we had help and support whenever we needed
We had the opportunity to explore London with Capital Placements’ recommendations and guidance.
Everything was as perfect as it can be, London had a lot to offer for us and for me personally I was able to challenge myself throughout this journey and I believe it wouldn’t have been possible without Capital Placement’s facilitations and support

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.
