Program Reviews

I took part of the one month program in London this summer and I found each and every element of my program organized, structured, challenging and fun. The actual internship could not have been better. I was matched with a startup company in one of the world’s hottest incubators, mentored by the boss personally and welcomed into a fast-paced, fascinating and challenging work environment that I loved.

I was provided with tasks that matched my skills and interests, which was perfect since I was only in London for a month. A win-win for both me and the company.

The events that are part of the program were one of the best aspects of the program since the people you meet through Absolute is what makes this experience stand out. I had the chance during my short month to go to Paris, Oxford, Stonehenge, Bath and so many more places! It’s such a wonderful experience to intern in London and I really recommend doing it with Absolute Internship. The support you receive from the team is fantastic. Thank you Giulia and Carla for a great summer!

Keep up doing great things with Absolute!

I don’t think that people realize how much of an impact Absolute Internship and a summer away from home can have on a person like myself. This summer completely changed my outlook of my life and career thanks to Absolute!

I was able to live in the capital of Europe - London for two months doing a marketing internship. What a dream! Always wanted to travel abroad and visit Europe and I found out about the program by a simple Google research and thought it look great and just applied – I have no regrets.

The people and the community that this program has is amazing and priceless. This experience was definitely the best summer I ever had and I highly recommend this program.

Amazing.

I've always wanted to travel and experience the world. However, I've always been too timid or afraid to travel by myself. In fact, this internship was my first time overseas without my parents. As a result, I was petrified. However, as soon as I arrived in London, the Absolute staff made me feel at home and were always there to comfort and support me when I needed them. Honestly, without them, I would have felt lost in the giant city of London!

Moving on, what better way to start the year then travelling to an amazing place and getting work experience on your CV. Honestly, I get to explore one of the most amazing cities in the world whilst getting valuable work experience. The work experience was amazing and my supervisor was possible the kindest person I have ever met. My internship was also a great opportunity to see what field I would like to work for in the future. Additionally, the work experience has given me an upper hand in the ultra competitive finance market in Australia.

My time in London was 2 months and although it's not possible to ever finish exploring London, the Absolute staff took me to amazing places in London I wouldn't have found myself(as well as taking me to Paris and Brussels). They took me to restaurants, tourist attractions, bars and other amazing places!

Lastly, the people I met on this trip were best people I've ever met. Everyone from Absolute, my internship and other interns were amazingly nice and caring. They made the experience an experience I'll never forget.

For people thinking of going on an Internship with Absolute, I highly recommend that you seize the opportunity and go! Yes, you may feel scared and home sick. But, that feeling almost disappears once you met the people and explore London. Plus your CV will thank you so MUCH in the years to come

The internship program in Hong Kong with Absolute is an amazing opportunity to grow up from a professional and a human point of view. It is a valuable experience for training your workig skills and for discovering the Chinese culture. I absolutely reccommand it.

As a first law student I was constantly inundated with comments about gaining legal 'experience' and how integral it would be to succeeding in any professional career in the legal sector. Obviously, hearing all of this on the first year of a five and a half year degree terrified me; it was all too much, what if law wasn't for me after all? However, thanks to Absolute Internship I found a way to have an amazing once-in-a-lifetime experience without compromising on gaining professional experience in a Law firm that will look amazing on my CV for years to come!

In 2015 I was able to begin a new year in a new country KNOWING that I was about to do something that would set me up for life. Was I nervous? Of course! But Absolute organised the whole trip perfectly! Upon arriving in London we were greeted by the most caring and enthusiastic team of staff ever. Just knowing that I would have someone like this to talk to if anything didn't feel right was settling in itself, and upon meeting my fellow absolute interns I knew that I had definitely made the right decision. In just one short month I made friends for life that I would never get the opportunity to interact with if I hadn't been accepted onto the Absolute program.

Even though I completed the trip during London's icy winter (very different from the summer I had left behind in Australia) Absolute organised for us to see all the typical touristy sites and more! I had an marvellous time gallivanting through England and was awe-struck when we were informed that we would also be making a weekend trip to Paris! Throughout the entire month that I participated in the Program I was constantly amazed by the food, accommodation, resources and support that we received and I know that I was not alone in this.

The internship itself was also incredible! As someone who was really looking for confirmation that I had chosen the right degree, a lot was resting on my placement. However, the members of the law firm that I was fortunate enough to secure a place in were very friendly and, to my surprise, I was not just running around getting all the top lawyers coffee. Instead, I was given real tasks to complete which are sure to stand out on my resume! At the end of my placement all the employees of the firm gave me a wonderful send off and asked me to keep in touch and come back as soon as I wanted; so not only did I gain experience but also future contacts in my field (not to mention the excitement of getting to dress up in fancy work outfits)!

I could honestly ramble on about how amazing Absolute were all day, but in short, here is a summary of why Absolute is the absolute best:
1. The internships are perfectly catered to your wants and needs and Absolute does everything they can both before and during the trip to ensure you are satisfied with your placement;
2. The sights/trips are beyond belief. You will see things you have never experienced before and could never hope to have experienced without participating in the program!;
3. THE PEOPLE! Every single person I encountered on my trip was amazing; the staff, my fellow interns and my work colleagues at the firm. I have made lifelong contacts; and finally,
4. YOUR CV WILL THANK YOU.

During my PR internship in London which I was allocated as part of the program, my work was mostly focused on drafting press releases, communicating with clients via email and phone and assisting one of the Directors with dropping off samples to clients.

It was an incredible experience on a daily basis since this was my “real” first work experience and I was able to have real responsibilities, which I really appreciated from the company. What the program does excellently is the communication with us students. I truly appreciated the efforts that the absolute internship staff takes in speaking to us prior to coming to the program but also during the program making sure that we are were fine at all times. It made me feel that they really cared for us, which is important at least for me.

Besides from the amazing work experience, we had numerous day trips, sightseeing events and a trip to Brussels in Belgium that was all included through the program so there are plenty of things to do and you’re never bored.

I had so much fun this summer with Absolute Internship. The team behind the program and the ones running it is very helpful and caring.

This was the perfect summer for me.

Excellent program!

I completed a 1 month internship in Hong Kong this summer. I was recommended by my university here in Canada to use Absolute Internship and I can honestly say that I’m more than satisfied with my decision.

The absolute staff is so friendly, supportive and resourceful. My internship in a digital marketing agency was fantastic and the people that I met through the program were amazing. I really wished that I could have stayed longer. It was so sad to leave Hong Kong and say goodbye to the other students, program staff and my colleagues at work.

I would strongly recommend Hong Kong and absolute internship to anyone considering gaining work experience overseas and meet incredible people from all around the world.

This is a great program!

Thank you for a fantastic summer!

My time in Hong Kong can only be described as awesome, fantastic, amazing.
The absolute staff were super friendly and helpful. The internship I was allocated was great – hands on, relevant to my degree and great colleagues who helped and supported me.

The absolute program is not only interning, it’s all about meeting people and cultures from all parts of the world. Like all the other positive reviews here about absolute internship, the program is amazing and a fantastic way to meet so many cool and interesting people from literally all corners of the world. You really get value for the investment that you make. There are events planned every week, weekends and you can choose to attend whichever you want to. There are both cultural ones, career focused one and networking ones. We had trips to various islands, museums, art galleries and of course to Macau.

I would highly recommend the absolute internship program to anyone. The experience is definitely worth it, but what makes this experience a must-do is the people, the program staff and the inspiration from it that makes it unique.

Absolute Internship is a great way to experience Hong Kong with like-minded students from all around the world while gaining work experience at the same time in a world-class city. Everyone is coming from all parts of the world, doing internships in different types of industries (I did mine in Marketing). We had people from Finland, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, US, Canada, Mexico, China, UK and many more. You get to learn so much from so many different cultures.
In the weekend and evenings the program arranges social events and career events so you never feel lonely, there are always things to do and you can choose. Visiting the awesome casinos in Macau was definitely the highlight of the program for me. I loved that weekend!

I would personally recommend the program for a summer that you won't forget!

I was really worried about the unknown Asia before I arrived, as I had never been traveling so far from home without friends or family. I had only been traveling within Europe.

Absolute and its lovely staff made me feel at ease from the moment I touched down at the Hong Kong airport. I loved every single second, every minute of my months and my entire summer in Hong Kong. I met awesome people (we were about 80 students in my group), experienced a unique culture and it was everything I wanted it to be!

Absolute worked really hard to make it a fantastic experience and they succeeded.

The housing was clean, well-located and working in “The New York of The East” was.. words cannot describe how incredible it was.

I cannot rate this program enough. I know other students who interned with other companies/internship programs and unfortunately their experience was not comparable to mine. This was a once in a lifetime summer so if you want it to be unforgettable and want to intern abroad – Absolute Internship delivers.
