What do you hope to achieve/ learn on your internship?

I think one of the most valuable things that I will learn is to stand on my own two feet.  Living alone abroad, especially so far away from home, is daunting but a necessary step to prepare for the “real world” after university.  I also hope to gain some relevant work experience which will look great on my CV.

What do you think this internship/ placement will add to your CV?

As of now, my CV is fairly bare as far as work experience is concerned.  An internship in Australia would definitely be a great addition and will hopefully make my CV stand out more in this increasingly competitive world.

Why are you travelling to Australia for your internship?

To be honest, it was a bit of an impulse decision!  But I have always wanted to visit Australia and I love travelling and visiting new places so this will be another country to add to that list.
