Name: Emelie

From: Sweden

Heading to: Whitsundays

Programme: Australia Hospitality Internships

What are you most looking forward to in Australia?

To meet a lot of new people, get to know a new country and to get new experiences.

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

I want to develop as much as possible beacuse I love the buisness!

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

I think it will be very positive for my cv to have a placement in the Whitsundays, since it has good reputation and to move a cross the world shows that you are a independent person.

Why are you travelling to Australia for your internship?

I’ve never been to Australia and it has always been a dream, and when I found this oppertunity I thought why not? I think this will be the best adventure ever!

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

Since the winter begins in Sweden when I leave I think everyone will be pretty jealous when I’m in sunny Australia and having the time of my life. Hopefully I inspire some of my friends to travelling to Australia as well

Oliver’s Whitsundays Hospitality Internship Feedback

Intern Options - Jon — Tue, 02 Nov 2010 22:50:13 +0000

Name: Oliver

University: University of Portsmouth

Studying: BA (Hons) Hospitality Management

Currently in: Whitsundays

For how long: 6 months

To do: Food & Beverage

Started: October 2010

Programme: Australia Hospitality Internships

Oliver was placed in one week from receiving his application to him flying out to Australia. This is by far the fastest application we have processed. Oliver has had this to say about how his internship is progressing so far:

Hi Jon

Yeah its all going well, been here 5 weeks now and settled in well. Its a great environment to work at and the community/social life is great fun.

Working in the Restaurant is enjoyable. It is pretty consistently busy, as the customers are on holiday every day the restaurants get filled. Unlike a normal restaurant that is busy throughout the weekend, slow Monday – Tuesday and picks up on Wednesday. Here its full on all the time. I work 38 hours a week with shifts starting at either 12, 2 or 9 open and usually finishing at between 9-11. And get 2 days off.

Living on the island is expensive as its a holiday resort and everything is imported so everything is at a premium. Although as I work in a restaurant I do get cheap/free meals. They say the general store here is the most expensive in all of Australia, but you can order food on the internet that gets delivered to your door.

The pay is fantastic and will I probably leave with a nice amount saved up.

The social life and community is great with most people going out on regular nights.

The living areas are basic but its all you need really, shared room with kitchenette. Everything is within walking distance and my walk to work takes less than 10 minutes.

In your free time theres plenty of activities to do and as staff I get a discounts on mostly everything.

Katelyn’s Hospitality Internship – Whitsundays

Intern Options - Jon — Mon, 01 Nov 2010 01:09:02 +0000

Name: Katelyn

From: Colorado, USA

University: Metropolitan State College of Denver

Studying: Tourism & Events Management

Heading to: Whitsundays

For how long: 6 months

To do: Food & Beverage

Starting: Jan/ Feb 2011

Programme: Australia Hospitality Internships

I applied to work in the Whitsundays as the degree I am pursuing is Tourism & Events Managment and since Australia is a mecca of tourism it suits my long term objective. Additionally, the location of the Whitsundays Resorts in relationship to the Great Barrier Reef has strong appeal to the Scuba Diver in me. That Whitsundays is a renowed Resort is a significant added bonus to all of it.

In the last eight years I have visited a few 4 and 5 star Resorts as a guest. Given this perspective, I am very interested in being part of the team who can leave a positive impression on the guest visiting an exceptional Resort. I have the kind of attitude, experience and personality to positiviely impact guests at Whitsundays. Though I understand I will be employeed in Food & Beverage I hope my presence/exposure helps me gain knowledge about Resort managment.

I feel priveledged to be a candidate and know this will be viewed very postively by future employers. No one in my close circle of friends and family have ever been to Australia. All of them support my adventurous spirit but are also incredibly envious!

What are you most looking forward to in New Zealand?

My friends are quite jealous at the thought of me going to New Zealand for a year, and some have already decided that they are coming out to visit!

Meeting lots of exciting and new people. Working for 6 months on a beautiful island, gaining more experience in hospitality. Doing lots of new activities and visiting new places.

Rebecca’s Australia Hospitality Internship – Tropical Island

Intern Options - Jon — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 03:19:56 +0000

Name: Rebecca

University: University of Ulster

Course: BSc Leisure and Events Management

Heading to: Australia, Whitsundays

For how long: 12 months

Starting: September 2010

Programme: Australia Hospitality Internships

What are you most looking forward to in Australia?

I actually can’t wait to set a foot in Australia and actually be there to know that this all isn’t a dream! I’m really looking forward to meeting lots and lots of new people, discovering new cultures, seeing the sights, doing completely new things and of course learning useful skills while working! The sunshine is always a plus as well, compared to constant drizzle at home!

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

I want to learn new skills that are relevant to my university course, and will allow me to go back to final year with greater industry knowledge. I also want to achieve a lot more self confidence and interpersonal skills. I want to be able to know myself that I can go out somewhere new, completely on my own and be determined enough to work hard, be motivated and give 100% to my job.

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

I think that future employers will be able to see that I have gained experience in a country far away from my home which will show that I am determined, confident and have the willingness to succeed at what I do. It will show that I am able to adapt quickly to become an effective team member. It will also show that I have a wide range of experience of working in many different environments. I already have experience back home, so an international placement will further my CV and will be more appealing to employers.

Why are you travelling to Australia for your internship?

I want to prove to myself I can go away for a year and be totally independent, and if there was anywhere in the world I would want to work and live for a year, it would be Australia, I think the TV adverts shown in the UK totally sell it to you, as they say “there’s nothing like Australia”. A couple of my friends have also worked in Australia for a year and the hundreds of stories they have told me about it has made me more determined to do my placement there. The Aussies are laidback which fits in perfectly with my lifestyle (when I’m not working obviously!). And of course I love my water sports so where else can you do them all year round without having to worry about the weather. Do you need anymore reasons?

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

My friends are very jealous, but fully supportive of me going away and I know they will stay in contact with me to find out all the gossip! I know that many of them won’t have the opportunity to do a placement so far away so I’m extremely lucky for the opportunity. I also know that my family is just as jealous, but it seems to give them an excuse to want to try and visit! However I will insure that I do everything I can while I’m away to keep them all constantly jealous by completely living the dream down under!
