Wonderful Experience

Absolutely loved my experience with Absolute Internship in Madrid! As a finance student at UGA, I was eager to dive into something that went beyond the classroom, and this program really delivered.

Living in Madrid was a blast! I not only got to work in a dynamic business environment, but I also picked up a ton of cultural insights that align perfectly with my interest in International Business. The internship allowed me to apply what I’ve learned in school to real-world situations, which was super rewarding.

Weekends were the best part—traveling with other interns to cool spots and even taking a train to the beautiful coast of Malaga was unforgettable. It was a great mix of education and fun!

Overall, this internship was a game changer for me. I gained valuable skills in international finance, improved my cross-cultural communication, and built an awesome network of contacts. This experience has definitely set me on a path to thrive in our interconnected world!

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
I was really proud of myself for figuring out the subway and train system! I became our group travel leader and put together a lot of trips and became like a local in my ability to get around.
Pros
  • Travel
  • Meet new people
  • Organized travel
Cons
  • Lost Phone
  • They spoke very little English in Madrid
  • The dorm was hot

Absolute Internship in Madrid

My internship in Madrid was such a transformative experience. I studied International Relations & Global Studies in undergrad and worked at a local non-profit organization in Madrid that supports those who have been displaced due to economical crisis, addiction, or other causes. Working here helped me grow as a young professional while also getting to make meaningful change in people's lives. Additionally, I made some of the greatest friendships and memories through my internship at Absolute while also getting to travel around Spain!

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
I was very nervous to start working at my internship since it was fully in Spanish. However, my supervisor made me feel comfortable from Day 1 and I was able to practice and improve my Spanish by the end of the summer!
Pros
  • Housing with private rooms
  • Meeting people from around the world
  • Can travel on free weekends
Cons
  • Homesick
  • Work culture in Spain may take time to adjust
  • Budgeting for meals, other activities, and travel

Amazing Internship in Singapore

I had an amazing summer thanks to Absolute Internship, who organized my fintech internship at Pand.ai in Singapore. From the start, they made the whole process super easy and stress-free. The Absolute Internship team was always there to help, whether it was sorting out the details and housing or making sure I was settling in well.

The internship itself at Pand.ai was a fantastic experience. I got to work on some really cool projects, like developing scripts for AI chatbots and building a financial model to tackle some big cost challenges. It was a great way to put my skills in Python, Kubernetes, and MongoDB to use in a real-world setting.

But what made this experience truly special was everything outside of work. Absolute Internship organized plenty of networking events, city tours, and cultural activities that helped me make the most of my time in Singapore. I met awesome people from all over the world and got to explore a vibrant new city.

If you're looking to gain some valuable work experience while having an unforgettable adventure, I can’t recommend Absolute Internship enough.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?

Amazing Internship in Seoul

I was dreaming about going to South Korea for a while now, but it seemed very out of reach. I found about Absolute Internship at the abroad opportunities fair at my univeristy and i am extremely happy about it! They helped with EVERYTHING! They looked for the company and helped with CV preparation and interviews. They answered all the questions and replied in a timely manner. A huge plus was that they found a place to stay (modern apartament in central Seoul with just a perfect location!). Also the transportation cards were included, which was super helpful as well. There were trips and activities when you arrrive and there are people from Absolute the city making sure everything works fine for you, who you can easily reach out to for the support. The program gives you this feeling of independence, because you are there working on your own, at the same time there are other interns that you meet and do stuff together as well, which helps you create that feeling of belongingness. Why 4 not 5 stars? The internship is kinda pricey, if your university does not fully sponsor you. I know that it costs a lot to hire everyone to help with the process but still ;) Nevertheless it is worth it to try and go intern abroad!

Internship in Korea

I really loved my experience in Korea! Not only was I able to work for a wonderful company, but I was also able to grow both professionally and personally. The program offered many wonderful trips where we got to know everyone in the program and we also got the chance to explore Korea. I made wonderful friends while in Korea and I am very grateful that I got to go to a country I had longed to go to for a long time! I was able to learn about a different culture and I really loved it. I think that traveling to Korea made me realize how different a place can be.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
I would say that at first it is scary to go to a totally different country, however, the best moments and memories that you will remember are the ones you make while being there, so being afraid is good, but also having the courage to explore by yourself just a little bit can lead you to so many great things. You can explore many different places and experience many new things all you have to do is take a chance and have courage. I guarantee that you will grow both professionally and personally.

2 months in Madrid

I had a great time in Madrid. I was lucky enough to get paired with a company and job that was almost exactly what I was looking for(lucky!). My boss and one other coworker ended up being great friends and great sources of knowledge, and the trips/experiences planned by Absolute were so exciting. Another big highlight was the great friendships that formed with the other students in this program. Not only did we get to explore the beautiful city of Madrid through some planned events and plenty of free time, we also go to visit other cool cities in Spain.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
My advice is to be as picky as possible with the job placement, there were a few people I saw who had good experiences with the placement company.
Pros
  • Travel
  • friendships
Cons
  • job options

My Internship In Stockholm

What made my experience great and unique is I got in an industry I wanted with minimal effort and the lady I worked for was kind and gave me constructive work that was meaningful. What this company is doing well is doing a great job working hard to get students into fields they are interested in and are there for whatever questions and concerns the students have along the way. Another thing that made the experience unique is the social aspects of the program. Spending lots of time with students in the same program from other schools and seeing new countries with these students was a great way to meet new friends and create memories.

What was your funniest moment?
Biking with some friends and going too far that we had to hurry back before it got too dark.
Pros
  • Get to see beautiful countries while still developing your resume.
Cons
  • It was a bit stressful at times balancing everything going on in a foreign country.

An unforgettable experience

Tokyo was a truly amazing experience that helped me grow personally and professionally so much. I had the opportunity to live for two months in a city that is very safe, very welcoming and full of activities and places to visit.
I would recommend it to everyone!
Also, you get to know people from all over the world, a completely new culture I fell in love with and if you want a new language too.
My working experience was just perfect: I experienced the field I requested (even if it doesn’t happen for everyone) and I worked alongside with both Japanese and foreign people so it was a very stimulating environment. I had the opportunity to be involved in some projects and develop my skills while learning new ones

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
People get in line for everything! So get ready to get used to be very respectful toward the walking habits of Japanese people
Pros
  • Safety
  • Hospitality
  • Food
Cons
  • Natural disasters
  • Strict social rules
  • Weather
