Program Reviews

It would definitely be an understatement to say that Absolute Internship changed my life. The level of growth I experienced was exceptional; the level of people that I forged friendships and relations with totally unforgettable. I only smile when I look back to my time in Hong Kong.

I did my internship in Hong Kong at an online marketing agency. The company I was working for were really kind and went above and beyond to ensure that I was welcomed and integrated into the team as well as the local culture. I met a massive amount of influential business people through networking events that I had the chance to meet, forged great relationships with my colleagues which have tremendously changed my life coming from a small town. Traveling overseas now and I’m proud to say that I can FaceTime with friends from France, Morocco, Sweden, Denmark, India, New Zealand, Austria, Spain, Italy and the US – it’s amazing. Absolute is the perfect platform for university students to meet other people.
I would like to also underscore that the Absolute staff is incredible. I was tremendously impressed by the work ethic of Nicole, Thomas as well as the Director Aurelie who definitely walked the extra miles every single week for us. From showing us to the best local restaurants where we could eat for literally $2 per person to introducing us to their broad and impressive network of important business contacts was extremely helpful and generous as it helped me and the other interns to expand their global networks.

The program events that are part of the program were one of my favourite parts. It gave me a deep insight of the culture, but also introduced me to this fast-paced and unique city by visiting the most selective sights and meet with influential business leaders from well-known firms such as Citibank, Bloomberg, IKEA and H&M, which I really appreciated. I felt so inspired during this summer and this program really made me think BIG, helped me realize that I can achieve whatever I set my mind and heart to. Absolute made this summer the best summer of my life. If you are a student and want to make friends from all around the world while experiencing an amazing city and finding inspiration – you should do this program!

The Hong Kong program exceeded all of my expectations and was the best way I could have spent my semester break. I knew Absolute had a great reputation because one of my class mates had a great experience with them in London and that's how I heard about it. Hong Kong is a fantastic city - international, everybody speaks English and you can find anything that you need.
I had a really good roommate and we definitely took advantage and enjoyed all the events that were part of the program, Macau Trip, Lantau Island Victoria’s Peak and etc..

The internship was also definitely a great experience. I was very involved with the company I was. They provided me with hands-on work and they really made me feel part of their team by taking me out for lunches and so on. I felt really engaged and appreciated that they welcomed me with open arms. One one of the events we had the opportunity to meet the Absolute Co-Director Aurelie who was visiting us. She really inspired me and shared her best tips on how to best leverage my experience in Hong Kong. She also spoke about her own international work experience which I really appreciated. This was honestly one of the best summers I've ever had and I'd highly recommend to take part of an internship in Hong Kong.

I would recommend the Absolute Internship Hong Kong program to anyone looking to advance their career and want to travel abroad. My internship in recruitment and HR has definitely prepared me for life after graduation - how to look for a graduate job. The experience in Hong Kong has been the star on my resume, something that all employers want to talk about when interviewing.
The program makes it really easy for you, providing you with a transport card, show you how the public transport works, takes you the best tourist spots (as well as the best hidden ones!), set you up with awesome housing and of course the internship. I met amazing people not only from the US but also from Australia, Italy, France, Sweden and the UK through this program. I encourage everyone to travel abroad and take advantage of the Hong Kong program by absolute. It was a summer I will never forget.

Interning in Shanghai was really great - I enjoyed it from start to finish and met some very interesting people. The internship provided me with a great experience that was different and meaningful for my future career. Absolute Internship did excellent in every regard and I feel thankful that they provided me with such a nice opportunity. I'd love to go back in the future!

It was a great experience interning in Hong Kong. Absolute was there for me all the time and made me feel welcomed, safe and content throughout my month in Asia. The events and activities put together were great to get know all the other students and also to explore the city.

I couldn't have asked for more. Absolute delivered more than what I expected.

Great program.

It goes without saying that my experience in Hong Kong with Absolute was over the moon! Amazing.

In Australia, H&M is not that well-known, but to have the opportunity to intern in such a prestigious international company and be surrounded around amazing and creative people like that for 2-months was a tremendously positive experience. I learned so much during my time at H&M about the fashion world but also about the aggressive expansion that the company is undergoing as of this moment. Employers and even professors now back in Australia have been extremely impressed of my international experience in Hong Kong.

Aurélie and the Absolute Team was there for me at all times for any support. From finding the best shopping places in Hong Kong to giving great career/internship tips. She is such a wonderful person!

It was overall a fantastic experience.

Thanks Absolute and Aurélie!!

Choosing to do an internship overseas with Absolute Internship was the number one best decision I have made in my life. From the start of my application, I was reassured that I had made the right decision choosing Absolute Internship for my overseas internship.

I chose to complete a Marketing Internship. Coming to Hong Kong it was the first time I ever traveled overseas alone. Scary? Yes. Excited? Absolutely yes.

I missed the official airport pick-up hours that Absolute has with the program, but Aurélie who was one of the Directors was so kind to pick me up at the train station 10 pm on a Friday evening (Thanks Aurélie). I really appreciated that and made myself and my parents feel very comfortable about the organization.

About Hong Kong itself, what can I say? It's the absolute most amazing place I've been to. Police everywhere - it's very safe! Great food. Wonderful shopping (compared to Australia). The other interns are literally from all around the globe, we had some from Norway, some from the US, Latin America, New Zealand.. it was truly an international experience.

I would highly recommend the program to anyone who is looking to do an overseas experience, have an awesome internship and great time!

I was referred by my university to apply for the Absolute Internship Program.

Absolute Internship not only helped enhanced my business skills but also helped round me as a more cultural and professional individual. Spending my days in the capital of Europe in an office environment where colleagues where extremely helpful and friendly was very interesting. I couldn't have enjoyed my free time more, spending time with other interns from US, Italy, Spain, Sweden and Australia. We spent time together after work at bars, restaurants, went to amazing places in the weekend such as Paris, Oxford. So many beautiful places.

Absolute Internship will without doubt be an experience you will never forget.

I only have great things to say about Absolute Internship. I had the most valuable time in London and learned so much at my marketing internship. I worked with an e-commerce site and learned so much through my colleagues and supervisor. They were very friendly and helpful during my two months in London.

The best thing about the program is all the other students that I met. I made friends for life that I don't think I'd ever meet back in Queensland in Australia. I also attended some professional networking events where I made some really good connections as well.

I'd advice all students to try out London. It's definitely the capital of Europe. You'll be challenged, you're stepping out of your comfort zone and you are learning both professionally and personally. Just go for it, you'll never regret it.

I had the best time in London. Coming from Australia I always wanted to experience life in London and travel around Europe and I came across Absolute Internship at my university. It was definitely one of the best decisions I ever made. I'll never forget my two months in London, the people that I met, the colleagues that I had at my internship (did a marketing internship), all the beautiful places that we visited, the premier league matches that we went to watch - absolutely amazing experience.

The city is very well-connected with the tube and the public transportation is very easy compared to Australia. The nearest tube stop is only a 5 min walk also from the accommodation.
I'd recommend this program to anybody, not only Aussies who are looking for an experience in London. Absolute is doing a great job and I'm very thankful.

Cheers guys!
