Highly recommend Absolute Internship!

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!

Absolute Internship London

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.

Absolute Internship

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.

Great summer in London

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!

Lovely Experience with Absolute

I had the most amazing time in London. I had always wanted to live in London. Something unique, wonderful and amazing about this city that made me so attracted to it. I spent two amazing months in London. The aspect of this program that really sets it apart is the wonderful people that you meet. The other students are from all around the world and very open-minded which makes the experience so much more worthwhile. The staff of absolute is also tremendously friendly, helpful and supportive.

My favorite event was our weekend in Paris which I will always cherish. It was so cultural and beautiful. One of my best summers ever. I would highly recommend this program!

Business Internship - Just Awesome

I came to HK expecting an average experience and program. My time was just awesome. The staff is one of the most friendliest people I've ever met. They showed us how to get around with the subway, tramway and the bus. They also showed us where to eat, where to do shopping and how to get to work.

I loved our weekend in Macau which definitely was a highlight of the program. I also loved all the other events that were organized by the program. HK was just an awesome experience that I always will cherish.

Excellent experience in Hong Kong

I completed a HR Internship in a head hunting firm in Hong Kong. I was very warmly welcomed at the firm, there were staff that were both local and some were from the UK and some other colleagues were from France. I had a British supervisor who was very helpful, inspirational and supportive. I learned a lot from my internship.

Besides the internship, I really enjoyed my time in Hong Kong with Absolute. The organization was very helpful in terms of setting me up with a visa, arranging fun and exciting events, arranged great accommodation and provided excellent support. The Absolute staff was always there for us and were extremely resourceful.

Highly recommended!

Awesome summer with Absolute!

I'll never forget my summer in HK. Before joining the program I had never visited Asia. This was the very first time that I ever took a plan alone and traveled so far away from my family and friends so I was of course really nervous about this program.

Absolute Internship made the process very organized, comforting and structured for me. I ended up doing a Marketing Internship in HK for 1 Month with a startup. I loved my time at the internship but also the program was awesome. The weekend activities that Absolute Internship put together were well-organized, fun and exciting. I also found the other participants to be great, I made lots of friends as there are students from all around the world in the program.

I would really recommend Absolute Internship to any student who is looking into stepping out of their comfort zone. Don't hesitate or think twice. The summer in Hong Kong changed my life.

TIME OF MY LIFE

I did a Fashion Internship in Hong Kong with Absolute Internship and I loved it!!
I completely agree with everything that all the other positive alumni have written about this wonderful organization. They work so so tremendously hard to make sure that us interns have a great summer. We even had one of the Directors of the organization come and visit us one weekend.

I would recommend Absolute Internship in a heartbeat and the Hong Kong program to anybody who is looking into doing an internship abroad. I would even love to return to Hong Kong, it's such an amazing city. The city's food, nightlife, shopping is just top class. Nothing that I've ever experienced in my life before.

Absolute Internship made my experience unforgettable. The planned events that we did, excursions and trips, career talks and the wonderful people that I met - I would have never had met them with without this amazing program. Thanks guys for the absolute best summer ever!

Absolute ROCKS!!!

Absolute made my summer in Hong Kong amazing. I made friends from all around the world and built connections with business people that I'd never thought I would meet. I can only say THANK YOU to Absolute for such a great summer.

I did a Marketing Internship with a Fashion E-Commerce company that had an awesome office with a view over the harbour. It was so amazing especially for someone who is brought up in a small town.

What made this program amazing? The people that you meet and the organization behind it. Absolute really walks the extra mile and cared for me. I'm incredibly thankful.
