Review

I am happy that CIP rescued me from a mission impossible agency which promised heavens. It is mandatory for many young people to gain some experience before venturing the job market but there are several issues that every prospective intern needed to deal with prior to going abroad for an Internship. I made a serious mistake that cost me so much but I am happy CIP stood for me even though I rejected them in the first instance during the preliminary stages.
I selected an Internship Agency which offered me a placement in Shanghai into the area of International Business. They looked big enough and took huge fees but the reality is that they are disorganized than ever. As per the offer, I was supposed to intern with a fortune 500 organization. Upon arrival, I was told the organization rejected me which I think was strange. I gathered patience enough to see what the alternative arrangement will be. After waiting for 4 weeks, I was surprised with a Placement with a start up with 5 staff members who do not even know their reason for forming the organization. I was supposed to assist them develop their international market strategy. They never spoke English hence communication was tough and the rest is history. I asked for a refund and some stories were told to my face.
I contacted CIP again and they were more than willing to help the situation. I just had to maintain my apartment and pay few fees and then I was sorted out with a Placement into Lehman Brown. They are into Accounting, Tax and Management advisory services. My responsibilities were to assist Overseas Operations Department research about Environmental Factors in the US prior to going abroad. This I will say came with much responsibilities and expectations which made me nervous and I confessed to my Placement Director as well as internship Coordinator. But their experiences and advice kept me going. I had a supervisor who was firm on me all the time and made sure I did it right.
After 3 weeks, I was in shape and begun to deliver my best there, I noticed the best was yet to come. My stipend also increased with time as I was working part times and over time duties. The joy and satisfaction came from the fact that my efforts never went unnoticed. I had traveled to Qingdao and Beijing for business trips and dined with the best of Business Executives and CEOs of some giant Chinese companies looking to go abroad.
CIP staff was on point and responded anytime I needed them. They have the logistics to handle much pressure. I was in China when they had about 115 interns in Shanghai and the beauty is that each of them was treated with utmost respect.
For $300, I was allocated to a career expert who taught me the rudiments of launching my carrier online and the art of marketing my skills, blogging and resume construction. This has been so helpful as I am able to write my daily experiences and gained followers who always read my pieces and advise me.
In short, I never knew my sad story could end up with a 360 degree turn around.
I learnt of reviews for CIP this morning and I thought it is a great opportunity to let others know about them. Their services are reasonable and their values are intact.

Would you recommend this program?
