What are you most looking forward to in Australia?

I look forward to experiencing a unique culture and lifestyle.

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

I hope to learn as much as I can about the firm itself and the industry that its in. I hope to experience something that only a handful have experienced before.

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

I think that this internship will add a new dimension to my CV that is absent on others. It will show that I relish new challenges and show my ability to adapt to any situation without any major problems.

Why are you travelling to Australia for your internship?

I have always wanted to travel to Australia but never had the chance. I think this is the perfect opportunity to combine my career and personal hobbies.

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

I think all my friends are going to be quite jealous as many of them ! are having trouble finding placements and just because of the fact that I will be in Australia will make them very jealous.

Daniel’s Summer Accounting Internship in Sydney

University: University of Exeter

Course: Mathematics Degree

Country: UK

Heading to: Sydney, Australia

For how long: 10 weeks

Starting: June 2010

Programme: Accounting Internships programme

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.
