Program Reviews

Awesome experience that pushed me into going into the field that I’m going to graduate school for. We had an awesome program leader (ily Charlie) and have made some amazing long lasting friends because of the experience. Our weekend outings were fantastically planned btw: Estonia was great but wet and ruined my pants but that’s my fault, Helsinki is gorgeous but a small child stole my floaty when I was at the pool, Copenhagen was perfect and I want to go back so bad. I loved my experience with Absolute and Sweden, if you’re thinking about it you should.

Going all the way to Sweden for an internship is really freaky. I don't travel much, especially that far. I didn't know how to prepare, what I should and shouldn't do, etc... However, the people at Absolute do know about how to guide you through these places and aren't unfamiliar with unfamiliarity. Although they could be a bit more proactive in reaching out to you to help along the way and while on the trip, they are very friendly and personable people that want to make sure you're comfortable. Make sure you ask them a lot of questions if you're nervous because they'll help you out or direct you to where you can get help. It was a very flexible experience with them, which I'd normally not expect considering the scale of what they do. They try to make sure you have a nice place to stay and fun stuff to do while abroad. They're a great avenue for exploration if you've been meaning to venture out of your comfort zone.

My name is Pfifer Blackman and I am an American currently studying at the University of Georgia. I am a junior double majoring in Real Estate and Finance in the Terry College of Business. I always wanted to go abroad and when finding an immersive experience involving work I was immediately intrigued. I participated in the Spring internship program with Absolute Internship.
I have held this internship particularly close to my heart as the people there are very accepting and wish for me to get the most out of it. They were willing and able to place various tasks on my plate and allowed me to earn significant exposure to the inner operations here at Hostini. As I was assigned these responsibilities, one stuck out to me as it was particularly fulfilling.
I was able to expand my leadership skills dramatically through my time in Stockholm. Although I did enjoy each corporate project, I found myself learning in corners never expected. Handling the company’s financials was not something I had expected out of this internship, but I enjoyed every second of this responsibility. It was a great feeling to confirm my love for math and numbers and have them applied in a real-life setting. I plan to take these skills back with me and hopefully apply them to a job in the fall around Athens while completing my senior year.
As this was a very developing experience in my life, I would recommend it to all. Coming in with an open mind and room to grow were two things that assisted my success.

Through my internship, I gained professional experience in the wedding planning industry which has been transformative for my career trajectory. It provided me with a solid foundation of practical skills and industry knowledge that I can now confidently apply in any professional setting. It was also so much fun getting to live with all of the interns, make lifelong friends, and explore all of the amazing things Barcelona has to offer! I loved all of the weekend trips, day trips and cultural opportunities that Absolute provided.

The internship in Stockholm was literally the best thing I did in 2023 learning wise. I gained a lot of experience, improved my English, tried out a lot of new things (Bachata, Singing, watching floorball) and got to experience a lot of fun things. In retrospect, I'd probably try to go out alone even more to meet new people, but it was a lot of fun to work in Sweden and experience the flair of Stockholm. Absolute Internship made the introduction to the city, the housing etc. awesome, and it's really an experience that I will remember for the rest of my life.

Singapore was an amazing experience. My favorite part was getting to travel to other countries on the weekends. I think placement could have been a bit better. I enjoyed the people I worked with, but I did not enjoy the work I was doing. I think a lot of us struggled with that. The communication before the trip wasn't very effective either. I was called the wrong name, wasn't told when to book my flight, and wouldn't receive responses via email for weeks. All of the activities we did in Singapore were fantastic though. I really enjoyed it, and it was an overall great experience.

I decided to study abroad during the winter quarter of my senior year of college. I initially wanted to take courses at a university in Spain, but a friend of mine recommended I looked into an internship. That’s when I found Absolute and the amazing team that runs it. I was able to gain crazy experience at a tech startup, made life long friends (who I’m flying to NYC to see for the 3rd time since the internship), and had super fun activities that were planned by absolute. If you’re reading this and you’re unsure if you want to go for any reason, just go. Trust me. If finances are an issue I highly recommend speaking with your college and Absolute, as there are options available.

My experience with absolute internship exceeded any expectations I had! From the moment I reached out for more information to arriving in Barcelona was such a smooth and fun process. You can tell the absolute internship team puts in so much work to make sure you have a great, stress free internship experience! My time in Barcelona was amazing!! So many great memories and friends made along the way that I will cherish for the rest of my life! My internship taught me more than I ever thought it would. The experience, skills and knowledge I gained from my internship allowed me to get my dream job back home. If you have any doubts or are unsure if you should take part in this program I promise you it will be the best decision of your life!!

I had the best time in Japan with Absolute Intership. I spent two months in Tokyo and interned in a marketing consulting firm that Absolute Intership found for me.
They did a wonderful job at matching me to the company. I had the opportunity to grow professionally with amazing co-workers.
Moreover, the team took care of everything, from accomodation and intership placement to cultural events and weekend trips, as well as practical needs such as sim card and transportation card.
What made the experience so special was not only the opportunity to experience the Japanese culture and work environment but also meet people from all over the world. 100% would recommend this experience to students who are want to build their resumes and are eager to travel.

My time with Absolute Internship was incredibly rewarding and instrumental in shaping my career path. The chance to work abroad was eye-opening and provided valuable insights into international professional environments. Throughout the process, Absolute Internship's support was unwavering, making the experience smooth and enjoyable. I appreciate their attention to detail and personalized assistance, which greatly contributed to my comfort and success. I wholeheartedly recommend Absolute Internship to anyone looking for a meaningful internship experience.
