Happy with the remote internship!

Even with this pandemic going on around the world, kudos to AIP for helping me out and finding my a remote internship. Online internships are usually hard to trust and I'm just glad I was able to find the right company for my future career.

My AIP supervisor was very kind from the get-go and assisted me with everything to make sure I was getting the right company and the right tasks. Saying that AIP is good is definitely an understatement because they were just outright amazing and I will be looking to do another remote internship for sure.

What was your funniest moment?
Funniest moment was definitely meeting my colleagues online as it was really awkward but heart-warming.

First time professional experience!

Really great experience overall!

Doing a remote internship was not something that I had in mind since I initially wanted to go to Japan, but with the pandemic happening, plans changed. My supervisor at AIP was very helpful and even recommended me to do a Remote internship and at first I was skeptical because I feared it may not give me the experience I'm looking for, but the overall job was not so bad and actually taught me some new things.

One thing I loved about it as well is that the pricing was definitely cheaper than the initial package that I've chosen for. So I guess I can say I got what I wanted for the price that was asked.

I may be looking to try out another remote internship with AIP to continue getting experience until this pandemic is done.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
One thing I would definitely change is going into AIP's application with an open mind in case things changes.

Fantastic service!

I applied for a Remote Internship to do a business development and I was definitely happy with what I got. The company I worked for was helpful and understanding enough to make sure that I had enough time to complete my tasks and kept me on track every week. It was really a great experience even though in the beginning it made me pretty anxious because of the feeling of not doing much.

Nonetheless, really loved the AIP staff for giving me the internship and experience that I needed to help improve my resume in the future.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Go big or go home. The experience is worth it even though it doesn't feel like it.

Amazing time!

Really impressed with AIP's services and glad that they were able to provide me a remote internship with this whole pandemic messing up my original plans. The internship experience was obviously not something that I was looking because I expected my first internship to be a face to face type of thing, but the work overall was great and meeting my colleagues online weren't an issue as well.

AIP's staff did their thing with supporting me and finding the best company in my preferred industry and I can't thank them enough.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Do have a mindset getting into remote internships that it won't be the experience you're looking for. But still a great one.

Online services saves the day!

Right off the bat, remote internships saved my professional career as I was struggling to find internships around my area with the whole COVID situation playing out. Thanks to my friend who recommended me AIP, as he has used their services before, I took the opportunity to try it out and apply for the program.

Everything was slow at first in terms of receiving tasks from the company because it was hard to keep up in terms on time zones and what not. But it all got better once I got used to it and managed it all together with my colleagues. Tasks were not that difficult but definitely taught me a lot about businesses.

Definitely no regrets and will probably use AIP again for another remote internship.

What would you improve about this program?
Only if there was an option to select certain countries of companies I would like to work with, it would be amazing.

Eye Opening!

For 3 months, I did a remote internship in video & production. I was supposed to intern abroad but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I thought that it was safer and more beneficial to switch to do a remote internship.

At first, I had doubts about whether this process was going to be successful. I was mesmerized by the experience I got and lessons I learned. I was able to do all the work that needed to be done in such an efficient manner, and most of that is because of my wonderful supervisors. I met with them, virtually, to turn in my assignments and every time I had doubts, all the supervisors would carefully explain how to approach the problem. I loved the whole experience and would highly recommend it.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I would be more attentive to my work since I was very lazy at times.

Very engaging!

I did a remote internship in business development. It was a very eye opening experience, getting to work online with colleagues that are (mostly) overseas. My supervisors were very engaging and understanding. Whenever I had questions, or didn't understand something, they would patiently teach me. I thought that was very valuable.

All in all, they were great mentors and I thought the experience was very worthwhile! I had such a great time doing a remote internship through AIP. I highly recommend this agency if you're looking for an internship this summer.

What would you improve about this program?
I would appreciate it if there was some sort of funding to help students.

Quite the experience!

I just feel like everything about this whole internship experience was just a roller coaster.

The process in the beginning was confusing as hell and I wasn't even sure if I was going to get placed into a company. I kept getting bounced to different point-of-contact and at one point, I just got lost in the process. Though, I gotta give it to Emmanuel who kept me on the loop and made sure that I was getting the internship I wanted.

I was also very lucky that I was already in Australia doing my masters so it didn't get complicated finding an internship for me as the country went on lock-down due to the pandemic.

Overall experience was amazing, my colleagues were the coolest and I'll surely continue to be in touch with them.

What would you improve about this program?
-It'd be nice to stay efficient and have one point-of-contact instead of multiple

Remote Internship for a change

I had the opportunity to participate in AIP's newly introduced "Remote Internship" program. I've had my eyes on Japan for the longest time but the timing was just disappointing with the whole coronavirus attacking the whole word.

Nonetheless, my parents found out about AIP and introduced the opportunity to me, skeptical at first, I saw it as a great chance to actually get something done during this stay-at-home scene. My point of contact was very helpful and guided me throughout everything and made sure I was satisfied with my choices. They even took the time to check up on me from time to time just to see how I was doing, and I really appreciated that. The company I worked for gave me the necessary training and was actually kind enough to give me enough time to complete the tasks given considering the time zones. It would obviously be better if I was there in person, but this was good enough for me.

Safe to say, I have something to put onto my CV for the future.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
Going through with this program in the first place was pretty nerve-racking but my parents helped me out and calmed me down enough to convince me that this was the right path.

Surprise after surprise!

Initially thought it was going to be a disaster but it was a complete 180!
When I heard my internship wasn't going to be in Bangkok but rather in another province, I immediately felt concerned about the safety of it all. But the company I interned took good care of me and even offered me an accommodation close to the site. It just made everything smooth and easy for me to adjust to everything. Really commending the AIP staff for placing me into this company and also for guiding me throughout the whole process. There was definitely some hiccup along the way when searching for the right company, but it all paid out in the end and I couldn't ask for a better experience!
I've already been offered a full time position but still contemplating whether or not I should take it because of this whole coronavirus.
10/10

What would you improve about this program?
I would like to have a list of companies that I can choose from rather than being received only one offer.
