Marketing Internship

I highly do not recommend this company.
For me, it was the biggest waste of money I've ever made. I could say so many things, but I prefer not to waste my time, because that's how I felt treated during most of this internship, a waste of time.
The only thing I liked was having assistance from Vitória Souza, and I only decided to do it because of her.

Overall, I definitely didn't learn anything 😉
Hope you can make a good research online, and try to find a better company, where really support you when you need.

Australian Internships Professional program

I was excited to try and new filed organised by Australian Internships. Throughout the course of my internship they gave me nothing but absolute support in completion as well as extension of the internship. In the process of doing my internship I gained a lot of insight in the professional field. Working on projects where I can actively research and get feedback, following up to clients on important matters. In the end you’re comfortable at your workplace because you can manage certain tasks in a professional manner

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
The amount information that you can get if you contact the right people. I was hesitant of the idea at first but later on I realised how much one can gain if you put some time away to actually learning a skill.

Junior Structure Engineer Intern

It was a great journey with J & P Building Solutions, Melbourne. While working with design team at my host organisation, I learned many design software throughout my internship and good skills of designing the structure. The host organisation supervisor and other design team was very helpful in guiding me in learning designing of the structure. It was a great journey with J & P Building Solutions, Melbourne.

What made this experience unique and special?

This unforgettable experience provided me with a big picture of the operation of an accounting firm. Not only did I gain the experience of working with professionals, but I also gained a full understanding of the Australian firm’s culture and how different departments interconnect with each other. I am enjoying the work with my supervisor, manager and colleagues in the dynamic working environment. I am truly grateful for getting this opportunity and I would say that I did not regret applying for this internship program!

What would you improve about this program?
This program can be improved if they can allow student/graduate interns to be paid by their employer.

Great experience

During the time that I stayed in Australia, it was awesome to learn about working in an office and get new skills, such as interpersonal relationship, marketing and business, and improve my field, IT.

What would you improve about this program?
I'd like to read the company's profile before. Usually, they first talk to the company, then to the intern. I believe that we should say if we are willing to go to the company before.

What would you improve about this program?
People from Australian Internships should open more offices along Australia, so a higher number of interns can be involved in the activities they make that at the moment only happen in big cities like Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane.

First Industry Experience

Australian Internships provided me with my first professional experience in the industry, which is of great importance to my field of study. I could take part in the day-by-day of the operations office of a packaging company and learn a great deal of it with everybody in there, besides the experience of a foreign culture, because I am Brazilian, and having the opportunity to experience the Australian working model was an add-up to my resumé.

An unexpected task

I am an animal science student from Brazil. The internship arranged for me was in an Australian zoo. Although I had taken an English course before starting the internship, when I first started I was completely lost with the language. After a few weeks working at the zoo every day, I found myself gaining a little more confidence to talk, and I could finally understand Australian slang (at least most of it).

After working a month at the zoo, most of the staff already knew me, and I felt they were starting to lack new tasks for me. One day, among 15 Australian interns, I was called to guide a blind man through the zoo. That day, I saw that my range of vocabulary was terrible. I have asked the blind guy, like a hundred time, if he had already SEEN that or this animal. I could not find a word to substitute the verb to SEE.

Luckily, the guy was completely good tempered. He just laugh at me, and answered that he would love me to take him to hear or to pet the animals. At the end of the day, obviously, I apologized for all the misunderstanding, but he said that was totally ok, that I was such a good guide, and he understood I was a foreign, not yet fluent.

The zookeeper who I was working with that day laugh at me too, and I told her. Although frustrating, the experience was really good for me. I wasn’t used to work with PEOPLE. After that day, I felt I was ready for anything.

What would you improve about this program?
Althoug the internship fit perfectly for me, I have heard a few friends complaining about how they hated the tasks they were asked to, or how they couldn`t see the relation between the internship arranged and their majors at uni.
Maybe Australian internship should bring us more options of internship for us too choose among them. We were told that we have to accept the first offer we got. For me, that worked. For other people, it didn`t.

Marriott melbourne

A good opportunity to enjoy australia as well to learn a bit about hotel food and beverage industry. Nice staff members at the company through emails and fast response of these. A nice experience I had was when at christmas day, we all gathered to enjoy a nice meal before qe started to work for this event.

What would you improve about this program?
To make sure all people that will be aent, have competent bosses. The boss I had, was the ead chef of a hotel and had the most minimal idea of how to operate in a kitchen. Also very unrespectful towards international staff. This person I am talking about is clinton jackson the former head chef at the marriott hotel in melbourne.
