What are you most looking forward to in Australia?

I’m looking forward to going to Australia for my internship. I can’t wait to experience the unique lifestyle that Australians enjoy and meet new friends throughout my stay there. While interning, I’m hoping to gain the skills and experience that I can utilize and put to practice in the work force of the marketing field.

Why are you travelling to Australia for your internship?

I love traveling to different countries. A classmate of mine recently told me of an international program she had in Brisbane one semester and couldn’t stop talking about how much she fell in love with the country. I have not met a single person who did not like Australia, so picking that destination for my internship seemed like a sound and fun decision.

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

My resume currently does not indicate that I have any experience in my field, but the internship will most likely improve my resume considerably. Most of my professors in college disclosed that they had experience overseas which gave them an edge when applying for a job in their field. I hope to have the same advantage as well.

How jealous do you think your friends are going to be?

Even though I haven’t told anyone of my plans, I do have a strong intuition that my friends will go green with envy, but they will be happy for me. It will be a very interesting experience and I cannot wait to get started soon!
