Entering a whole new experience

For many months I've been contemplating whether or not I should go ahead with this remote internship and I finally to go through it. The initial feeling with this was really weird as the process went by really quick with the great work from AIP. After finding a company, I started the week after and the transition to it was somewhat nerve-wrecking but a good first time experience. Work-wise, not so bad and not much pressure. I was able to do my online school work with some tasks given to me by my host company and that was something that I really appreciated. Not sure if I would be doing this again but a first time experience is something I always look for.

Always be ready for the transition for anything especially in a professional setting..

Grateful for a wonderful experience

To say that this internship was just great is an understatement. In addition to a massive help from AIP and my point of contact helping day in and day out, spending my last 2 months in Singapore to do an internship was something I was definitely looking for. The pandemic literally put my plans to go to South Korea on hold and it was really frustrating staying in Singapore doing nothing but remote classes. The decision to find an internship was one of those things that when I look back, I'll be super proud of. Can't express enough how grateful I am to have work experience abroad at one of the worst times of my life.

Against all odds!

Honestly speaking, it's not everyday you get an opportunity like this to travel to a country abroad for an internship or work experience. As for me, my parents finally allowed me to pursue this dream of mine to travel to Asia to have some work experience to enhance my career and to learn another culture.

Ever since September of last year, I've been wanting to go to Korea but when COVID-19 hit the global scale, I thought for sure I wasn't able to travel anymore. In addition to that, I've been having personal issues in my family which made it seem that this dream of mine was falling apart.

I was able to pull through it all and thanks to AIP, they were able to help me out a couple of months ago and get me the internship and travel experience I was looking for. AIP staff were absolutely helpful and kind to me and I couldn't ask for a better team.

My remote internship experience!

This internship experience was an experience of ups and downs.
The process itself with AIP could've been smoother than I expected but we ended up arriving at the ultimate goal which was finding an internship for me. The internship experience is where the ups and downs happened. There were a couple of things that I expected that didn't end up happening due to some miscommunication. At first I wanted everything to end because things were a little messy, but with the help of AIP, I was able to pull through and be crystal clear with the things I wanted to my supervisor of my host company and it all ended up being good. Not entirely sure if I'd do this type of internship again since I'm not a remote type of person, but the experience was definitely new and eye-opening.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I would definitely be more clear during the interview so that I don't get stuck in different tasks.

Thankful for the opportunity!

It has been a great 2 month remote internship experience that I just went through and it's honestly all thanks to AIP and my host company. I couldn't ask for a better agency to help me find the right company to put me on the right path for my future. At the same time, I couldn't ask for a better team to have worked for. Despite the experience being remotely done, I had a splendid time building relationships with my colleagues. I will definitely miss all those video calls I've had with my team professionally and personally.

Good experience for the new normal!

For those who are currently at home and unable to go out, doing a remote internship is something that you can look into.

I recently graduated and after being stuck at home for weeks, I decided that I needed to get off my butt and actually make use of my time. I looked around for internship programs and stumbled upon a few. After a lot of research, I decided to go through with AIP since there was a lot of good reviews. Going through the whole process from the beginning to the end was quite an experience but not a horrible one. There will be one person who will technically be your supervisor and who will be guiding you through everything. I was happy enough to have someone who was always available to me 24 hours of the day and who was able to place me at the company I was looking for.

The experience all-in-all was amazing and I am entirely grateful for virtually meeting all my colleagues who have been of great help to me.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
Taking initiative earlier would've been good so that I could have a longer internship duration.

No internship abroad? No problem.

I can't express enough how much this remote internship became a miracle and saved my chances from graduating. In my last semester of my bachelors, we were required to complete a 3-6 month internship and I was initially planning to go abroad but COVID put a halt to everything. With everything feeling like it was coming to an end, couple of my friends reached out to multiple internship programs and I thought I would do the same, finally ending up contacting AIP. Luckily enough, my university gave us the green light to apply for remote internships and it changed everything.

For a low cost remote internship program, the process was easy to follow through and the help of my AIP supervisor literally made everything simple. I was able to find an internship within a week and also start the week after. Everything went by quickly and I can't thank enough for the help of AIP.

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
Seeing remote internships available to the public was pretty surprising.

Exhausting but worth it!

I completed my internship in Thailand late last year before COVID hit giving me the opportunity to not only accomplish one of my goals to do an internship or work professionally abroad, but to also be able to travel around the country to explore a new culture that I'm not familiar with. Thailand itself was amazing, the people were so welcoming and nice to me and even allowed me to travel places with them. I have my colleagues to thank as well for introducing me to their fascinating culture.

Applying to AIP is something that I don't regret to this day. It seemed very doubtful at first, but my parents convinced to go for it, and here I am today with no regrets. Really great first time abroad experience and I'm looking forward to more!

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I would've definitely taken my time to learn the language before arriving. It was hard getting around places at times.

Home internship!

I took a year off my studies so I could get an internship for some real world experience. But, due to covid-19, my plans took a turn for the worst. I didn't think I would be able to find work this year as everything was closed due to the locked down and a lot of people were also loosing their jobs. I am very thankful to find AIP during this period. With their help, I was able to find a company to intern in from the comfort of my own home. Due to them, my year off was not a waste.

I was studying Digital marketing in my university. Learning the theory and the skill was fun but I wanted a more practical knowledge on the field. This is why I was looking for companies that are in search for interns for their marketing department. Through the help of AIP I found a great company that offered a great mentorship on the field. I have learned so much in the past few months and it was only possible through the help of AIP. I highly recommend using their services.

What would you improve about this program?
Being with one supervisor of AIP rather than switching would be better for efficiency purposes.

Thank you for a great opportunity

I just completed my remote internship last week and after today, it feels weird getting up and not doing actual work. The work itself was difficult because as doing a journalism internship, I had to keep up with the content by writing articles every single day. Which is why is completely weird not doing work anymore. My supervisor of the company was very helpful to me and taught me a lot of things that I'm grateful for. I'm definitely looking forward to working for them again in the future if the opportunity is presented.

As for AIP, the whole service is self-explanatory and I didn't run into any issues at all. I applied to AIP for an internship because I felt that they had the capabilities of providing a company that can really teach and enhance my skills for the future, and I was definitely correct. Massive thanks to AIP!

Keep an open mind! Programs like this normally comes off as skeptical but it's always nice to keep an open mind.
