Program Reviews

Overall, my experience in Japan was one I will never forget. The people, environment, and job experience I gained are all aspects that went beyond my expectations. The staff was very kind and supportive, and my fellow interns were also great and I still keep in touch with them to this day. Lastly, the job experience I had allowed me to easily land an internship for my Junior year summer at a major firm in my industry. The program was a great way to experience the country and I would recommend it.

I had the best time ever with my internship abroad in London! Absolute provided me with the most wonderful experience and any resource I could have needed was there at my disposal. I found this journey to be highly enriching and completely invaluable to my early professional career as it equipped me with the tools to be a more impactful team member. Anyone considering an international internship should look into Absolute as they are the most high touch, full service offering on the market. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone!

The programme was amazing in every respect. The internship itself gave me lots of insights through having many tasks given to complete over the two months such as social media, blog posts, new website content, emailing clients and providers, creating Canva presentations for clients - I even got to go in a hot air balloon as part of the job.

With organised activities through Absolute Internship, we were always doing something, from weekend trips to Montpellier and Valencia, to day trips to a water park and Costa Brava, it was a fun-packed adventure.

Loads of food to try like Paella, Churros, and Crema Catalana!

Barcelona is a safe city with loads to do and explore. Take every opportunity!

The programme with Absolute was a fun and a good learning experience.

The team leaders from Absolute were nice and helped adapt to being in a foreign country. They offered helpful advice and I was comfortable to ask them for any help if needed.

Absolute Internship is a wondeful company where I learnt a lot and 24/7 support was provided. The coworkers and my supervisor helped me adjust to the working culture in Spain.

An absolutely amazing experience, and one that I have made many memories from. Will be something that I never forget. Thank you so, so much 🙂

I had a fantastic time working an internship in Japan. The program I was a part of helped me not only grow professionally but more importantly personally and culturally. I had never been to Asia before but with the help from the program and activities they planned, I felt comfortable broadening my horizons and trying new things! Because of this program, I would most definitely go back to Japan and take friends and family with me to show them around. I cannot recommend this program enough and urge anyone interested to push themselves to partake in it!

Overall good experience. Learned a lot and experienced a lot. Very unique experience going around japan on my own and seeing a different part of the world.

Met a lot of cool people here in Japan such as my coworkers and my manager and boss.

Learned a lot about Japanese business law including taxes and international trade. Worked on international documents for the company I worked at as well.

Ate a lot of really good food from several different places. Also drank a lot because I'm not 21 yet.

The people in my internship were absolutely amazing! I'm so grateful for the friendships I've made there. They made traveling solo all that much better! My internship was really amazing, and I got to learn so much from the lawyers in my company. My only regret is not staying longer than 4 weeks. Absolute was really helpful and it actually changed my life! I recommend to anyone considering going abroad as a college student! It made me question everything I know, and left me with a desire to return

I have been working for 8 weeks as intern at OUTER Spain in Madrid, Spain. Under the guidance of my awesome boss Pilar, I had the opportunity to learn more about Communication and Marketing. We have been woking together for the World Corporate Golf Challenge, which is one the most established global B2B golf tournament in the world, open to top level executives who are passionated about golf. I have been given my contribution as for editing texts, preparing and sending interviews for the 2022 Final Magazine. I successfully achieved my internship’s goals in terms of planning and implementing the company’s social media strategy in order to increase awareness in light of the 2022 World Final. During those weeks I have been constantly working alongside copywriters and designers to ensure content was informative and appealing. Additionally, I have been learning how to analyse current social media trends and provide constructive feedbacks both qualitatively and quantitatively.

A huge thank you goes to OUTER Spain, my boss Pilar de la Puente and the rest of the Communication&Marketing department for the internship opportunity and for teaching me about communication and marketing practises over the summer. Lastly, an immense thank you goes to Absolute Internship, specifically to Sabrina Starke, Melissa Rodriguez, Virginia Alomar Lopez and Erin Bouwma for finding me a placement and for making my international experience possible and so memorable.

I completed my internship with Absolute in August this year in Lisbon. This was an amazing month- some of my highlights included the weekend trip, organised events and making new friends for life. Morgan our co-ordinator was super helpful and made sure to run plans by us first.
Some points that need improved for the future is more through and frequent communication through the placement process and clearer communication about accommodation conditions/expectations.
Through my marketing internship and time in Lisbon I have gained skills and memories for life and would definitely recommend the experience.

Had a lovely experience interning abroad in Lisbon. I got placed with a great company that met most of my requirements and expectations. It was a very enjoyable 2 months both in and out of the workplace where I got to meet other great students from across the world, create networks and explore the beautiful city of Lisbon. Absolute Internship (AI) also provided me with a lot of assistance through their staff who were constantly available. If you haven't had the experience of working abroad, I highly recommend AI.
