I took full advantage of the opportunity given by the Internnz and I have extended my internship to the mid-December. I think you guys are doing great job and involving students in the lot of activities outside the work.(However I was not able to attend any due to my work commitment, as I work on weekends on another job to get some monetary benefits). Internnz is doing great job and I am really impressed with their service. They follow up with students and believe in building good relation with the students. My internship coordinator even came to my work which was very impressive with there followup. Keep doing what you are doing guys :) Studying and living in New Zealand is a great experience of my life....I learned more than expected and really loved the work and still working there even after completion of the intership contract.
My whole team at the internship is very supportive. Working in small tech team allows you to get involve more into the team and work on individual projects which helps you to build your skills.
This journey was impossible without Internnz and my well wishes to all staff who are really doing great efforts in helping students.
Response from Intern OZ and Intern NZ
Dear Mateusz,
We are very sad with your review. We understand that getting involved into our programme is an investment and may take some time to get the right internship for you. But we're always interested in finding the right role for our candidates.
We offer a maximum of 2 interviews with companies and we suggest to have a 3 month experience so that the learning process is very enriching. We constantly communicate to our interns and the companies to make sure that the experience is going well.
We wrote you and even asked you to be our Intern of the Week, something we do to focus on an intern's experience and an opportunity to send something home to family and friends.
This is not something we pay people to do, but after submitting the article you were expecting a payment, which is not possible for us to do since this is a voluntary task.
We would have appreciated that you could have given us a call or let us know that you were not having a nice experience. According to the feedback that you gave us on the Intern of the week, you were having a good time.
And then, when we told you that this was a voluntary role, you told us that you only interned for 8 days and didn't complete the internship period.
Also, we would like to clarify that all the reviews that we receive are from all our interns, where they share their experience with everybody and for other interns.
We value all kind of feedback and reviews, and are always open to improvements.
We hope you can take this response as positive and we wish you the best of luck in your career.
The Intern NZ & Intern OZ Team
