My experience in Tokyo as an intern

The experience I had during my six-month internship was terrific, satisfying, complete, and I’m my opinion it is undoubtedly highly recommended.
Moreover, I believe this is essential before professional life, thus I am grateful to have had this opportunity.

This internship is well designed and it provides plenty options to meet new interns, there were always activities that allowed me to meet new interns and visit new places. Therefore, It is great for a network expansion, friendships and traveling.

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?
Whale, horse and poisonous fish.

Amazing Internship

I liked the opportunity to experience an intership abroad and my destination (Madrid) was incredible. I believe that the initial investment that you do it's totally worth it, considering all the help The Intern Group provides you and the activities they organise during our internship. I think that like any investment, at the beginning it is considerable and/or expensive, but totally worth it. It is a completely different experience that helped me professionally and the company where I did my internship amazing. Being in a program like this was amazing, I could visit a lot of cities in Spain and the EU and I could know a lot of cultures because it's easy to move around Europe. It's like being on vacations but with the opportunity to develop as a professional and as a person.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Just apply and go for it. I highly recommend this program and the experience to live abroad and know another culture. It enriches you personally and professionally, it makes you stand out for future employment. The program makes you realise where you wanna live in the future.
Pros
  • Personal and professional growth
  • Visiting new places
  • Knowing and experience the life of a different culture.

2022 Internship Review

Dear Gooverseas,

After an absolutely fantastic experience, I have now found that I have grown into a stronger, more mature, resilient, and independent working person. I learned many things along the way such as how to speak to people of different languages, to manage my time, to learn from others, and to work in a team.

Additionally if it wasn’t for my leaders, and I’ll mention Jinnie to be specific!, then we wouldn’t have had anywhere near as much fun as we thought. She was great and looking out for us, and she always responded when you needed her.

Just want to say a massive thank you for this experience, and i will never forget it.

Thanks

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?
We are lots of different things, however for me, the craziest was a dried scorpion and jelly fish. It actually tasted quite good! Can’t hate it until you try it
Pros
  • Fun
  • Exciting
  • Career building
Cons
  • Stressful
  • Expensive

Amazing Internship Experience!

I had one of my best lifetime experiences with The Interngroup in Madrid, Spain!

*Please note I am adding another review now, even though my internship happened a few years ago already.

Everything was basically perfect. Most people were very kind and open-minded at all times, especially Lalita and Cata. They were always very helpful and seemed very concerned for the well-being of all interns.

The InternGroup always listened to all of our questions and concerns, even those that were not entirely related to the internship. Lalita, Cata and the rest of the people from The InternGroup were always concerned about us. They kept fostering the personal and professional growth of their intern, while giving them tools and advices to develop key skills.

The InternGroup also organized many fun and interesting activities and events with their interns, always finding ways to make things work overall, despite the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, and everything that involves.

The housing providers (Vitium) also made my experience much better than I was originally expecting. The “hostal” was very well located (right in the center of Madrid), and the building was in great conditions, and at a very affordable price.

The company in which I was working as an intern (called The International Business Hub) had a lot of positive, characteristic aspects, which made it unique and distinguished it from many other places: Firstly, the managers and employees were very skilled at what they did, and were always willing to answer our questions, and help us learn in the process. Secondly, the the working environment was always very productive, and the division was divided very effectively and efficiently. Thirdly, the employees, managers, and company as a whole had well-traced short and long-term goals.

Moreover, Álvaro, Juan, Fernanda, and all of the people there seemed to be incredibly knowledgeable and smart individuals, with a tremendously great level of expertise in their industry. They were always looking for the personal and professional growth of others, even including the interns. I have a lot of respect and admiration for them, and value and appreciate everything they do.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Take advantage of every opportunity to the maximum, and grow as much as possible individually, collectively, and professionally

Intern Group NYC

I got placed in a company that aligned with my field of study and career aspirations. The responsibilities assigned to me were both challenging and rewarding, allowing me to apply my academic knowledge in real-world scenarios. Living in such a dynamic city allowed me to explore its diverse neighborhoods, iconic landmarks, and vibrant nightlife. Weekend outings with fellow interns further enriched my NYC experience, creating lasting memories and friendships. In summary, the intern programme in NYC was a transformative experience that significantly contributed to my personal and professional development.

Unforgettable experience!

TIG’s program has given me the chance to grow in many ways. In a professional level I got to network a lot and to get my first corporate experience. In spite of host organizations being medium-sized, this gives you the chance to build long-term relations and to connect with all areas of the organization at a deeper level. Experiencewise, the program coordinators, Debby and Brian, had made this program an AMAZING one. During weekends they organise group visits. If you ever need anything, they are always willing to help.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I would have stayed more than 2 months!! Always something new comes up and there are so many great things to do in NY.
Pros
  • Emotional support
  • Fun activities
  • Fast communication

Great experience to push yourself out of your comfort zone!

Interning in Colombia as a digital nomad intern was an amazing experience! I learnt so much about myself and what I’m capable of doing, in both a professional and personal capacity.

Meeting people from Colombia and from across the world was an absolute highlight of my internship. These connections helped me really grow my understanding of different cultures.

Being a digital nomad was awesome - it meant I had the flexibility to explore the country while still gaining valuable work experience.

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
There are so many diverse birds in Colombia! Going up to feed the hummingbirds was an unforgettable experience. I discovered a passion for birds which I never knew I had until I lived in Colombia!
Pros
  • Connections with interns and host organisation
  • Food was delicious and plentiful!

Madrid Internship

I did the 6 week program and I loved every second of it. Madrid is an amazing place and there is always something to do. The Intern Group makes moving abroad so much easier by providing you with your living accommodation, public transportation card, and even activities to do with the other interns. Everyone I interacted with was very friendly and welcoming. The part that made me the most nervous was where and who I was going to be living with. But I was very happy with my apartment and my roommates. I definitely recommend doing this to anyone who is interested on going abroad.

Bangkok Abroad Program

This program truly exceeded all my expectations and was an absolutely incredible experience! From the amazing advisors and engaging events to the provided housing, everything was meticulously organized. The friends I've met through this journey have become like family to me. The highlight was undoubtedly being matched with an amazing company that provided a supportive and enriching environment. My coworkers and mentors were not just colleagues but became mentors and friends who I still regularly keep up with. Additionally, the opportunity to explore Thailand was incredible. The culture, the places, and the people – every aspect was mesmerizing. I wholeheartedly recommend this program to anyone looking for a comprehensive and fulfilling experience.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Be open minded and take advantage of all the opportunities you're given!
