Great Support from Capital Placement Team from Start to End

I’ve had such a great experience with the team helping me find the right placement programme. From the very beginning, Jil from the Screening team took the time to talk through my goals and what I was hoping to get out of the programme. After that, the Placement team stepped in and really supported me in finding the best fit. Huge thanks to Yash, Bimsath, Chathu, and Nan for their constant support and for always staying engaged throughout the process. It honestly made everything feel smooth and reassuring.

Pros
  • Clear guidance from the start. Jil encouraged me to complete HackerRank assessments, which really helped me show my technical skills and stand out for technical roles.
  • The Placement team shared weekly updates, so I could clearly see their efforts and ongoing conversations with potential host companies.
  • Continuous support and advice during your placement as well.
Cons
  • Timing matters a lot. The placement outcome depends heavily on when you apply, your preferred start date, and the country you choose.

Capital Placement- Yash Dave

I would recommend Mr. Yash Dave to every friend that I have that is looking for an internship abroad. Mr. Dave was incredible on being able to match me for an interview with a company that aligned with my personal values extremely quickly. He was also able to provide me with the most helpful interview preparation for this internship. I have never felt more prepared for an interview before. Mr. Yash Dave helped me on different phrases I could use in the interview which made me sound like less of a broken record and more professional!

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
My interview was that most nerve racking moment however, I knew that Yash Dave was experienced and that I could trust him to help me prepare!
Pros
  • Speed
  • Due diligence
  • Friendly
Cons
  • Time zone difference

Outstanding Support Throughout Internship Search Process

I had an excellent experience working with Yash Dave. He took the time to really understand my interests and career goals, and his guidance was incredibly thoughtful and personalized. Before my interview, Yash helped me prepare thoroughly. His support made the whole process feel much more manageable and much less stressful. He gave me great advice on how to highlight my strengths and present myself confidently, which made a huge difference. Thanks to his help, I felt fully prepared and ended up securing the placement after just one interview.

Trust this man (Yash)

This isn't my first rodeo and once again Yash has done it. I have to admit, the process wasn't necessarily smooth because my needs this time were a little more specific. But Yash's determination to meet them never waivered. He was incredibly attentive and completely understood my availability and the type of experience I needed. He advocated for me and didn't settle for anything less than what I specifically asked for. He helped me prepare presentations before meeting potential employers and even conducting indepth research about the companies and their founders. I remained confident and patient throughout the process because I knew from past experience, he was going to jump through hoops to do what's needed. And so here I am, once again, blown away by his level of work ethic. Yash, my hypeman, I can't express my gratitude enough. Thank you so much for accepting this challenge and walking with me throughout this process. You have a gift my friend. You've made this process so worth it... So rewarding. Just incredible.🙌🏾

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
Absolutely nothing!
Pros
  • Yash

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.
