Intern Abroad
If you want your experience abroad to enrich your career in addition to your character and world view, an internship program is likely to offer more than your standard working holiday trip. Such a program would assist you in finding a position in your field of interest while providing you with the same degree of cultural immersion.
Dulcinea's Insight
- Consider the pros and cons of an internship program as compared to a working holiday:
- An internship would ideally be a position allowing you to learn the basics of an industry in which you would desire to work, thus serving as both a resume and knowledge builder; the work you'd find on a working holiday would be seasonal (i.e., fruit picking) or service-oriented and, although not unskilled, would require little educational background.
- In an internship, you're locked into the same job, and thus the same location, for a predetermined period of time; on a working holiday, you're free to roam from job to job as you please, allowing you to completely customize your experience.
- Internship jobs can also be found in job listings specific to the area you wish to live in. If you're interested in working in London, check local sites by using a search engine and a query like "Jobs in London".
