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.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
If you're doing a remote internship, be enthusiastic and open to new things!

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!

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Keep an open mind! Programs like this normally comes off as skeptical but it's always nice to keep an open mind.

The Land of Smiles!

Thank you, AIP, for an amazing experience I just had in Thailand. It kind of sucks that it may be a long time till I get to come back to the country with the on-going global pandemic. Thought I was really lucky to be able to do an internship here since I was already in the country and was about to finish my studies. We went under lockdown for a few months but it slowly went away and everyone pretty much just went back to work. My colleagues were one of the nicest people I've ever met and I've learnt so much from them. Again, I would like to thank AIP for always keeping the communications top notch and for making me not feel lonely at times.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
Going through the lockdown was pretty frightening. Having to stay home and just work was intensively boring.

Completed a wonderful internship experience in South Korea!

With the ongoing global pandemic, I am extremely grateful for having the opportunity to finally travel to South Korea to do an internship. I am definitely looking to take it further by taking a full time position here at the company I'm currently interning for, but we'll see where life takes me.

I was recommended by a couple of friends here at university to apply for AIP for an internship program as they are alumni's of the program. The experience is exactly as I expected and there is nothing more I could've asked for with all the help they've given me from finding a company and assisting in all aspects of the program. Huge appreciation to the community manager for always keep in touch with me and always checking on me to make sure I was safe and okay.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I would definitely have been more prepared with the quarantine period in terms of paying for it. Was really surprised with how much it was.

Rollercoaster ride!

What a crazy rollercoaster ride I just went through!

I would like to commend AIP for helping me all throughout the process and for keeping me sane in situation here I thought everything was falling apart. I applied to AIP for an internship in South Korea back when COVID-19 didn't exist and expected to travel stress-free last March. I was definitely wrong as I had to go through the quarantine process and multiple documents that needed to be processed. Needless to say, everything went well and I was able to enter South Korea and finally do my internship. The internship experience was amazing considering the "social-distancing" everybody had to practice. I was able to go to work and travel around the country as a tourist would normally do. Really missed on a lot of stuff and I'll be sure to complete my need-to-see list in South Korea when I come back in the near future.

Overall, the experience was great and I have AIP to thank for with all the help they provided me!

Take a chance! It's not every day you get an opportunity to travel the world and explore the horizon!
