Review

From the start of the programme StandOut was very efficient making the process straightforward, helping at every stage. All the correspondence and information I received prior to leaving was useful and personal, support with my interview and a Skype of general queries was extremely valuable.
I did an events and marketing placement at the British Chamber of Commerce, as an example of the calibre of placements. Samantha (the managing director of StandOut) ensured we would not just be making tea and photocopying and I certainly wasn't! I was exposed to all the aspects of the events and marketing teams and I was really involved from day 1. I took on my own projects lasting the length of my internship.
My accommodation was in a central location close to my place of work and it was clean and I had a private bathroom and a small kitchenette.
One of my favourite parts of my experience was the weekend activities such as a boat trip, tram party, hike and beach bbq and day trip to Shenzhen. Samantha and Michelle came with us and were great company and a lot of fun. It was a great way to meet the other StandOut interns and make friends to do things with during my time in Hong Kong.
