Posted by: admin on December 23rd, 2009

Internship with Horses

I grew up with my parents and in a city. So people live is a fast lane.People come and people go. Friends come and they also go. So never did I feel connected with anybody before. Not before my greatest internship that did not only give me the financial freedom I so longed for but also the friendship that I was craving for my whole life.

It was a paid internship in Mexico. The language was new and the culture was new. The adjustment I had was the hardest obstacle I had faced in my entire life. People do not understand me and i do not understand them.

Though the scenery was a heaven to behold it still does not change anything about the culture shock I had. Not until my friend befriended me. I just understand my friend even without words. Even the silent wants and needs are carried into my ears and heart. that made me stronger, that made me stayed for my summer internship.

Besides the experience I know that the knowledge that I would gain from practical study is very important. Thus, i stayed with the help of my friend. I slowly blended with the culture. Yes, I have to admit sometimes there are clashes but with that came with the knowledge that one creation understands me and would approve of me.

My entire summer internship changes my internship definition; now it comes with a smile, pleasure and thankfulness and satisfaction. The word work has changed its meaning.

With every applause and disappointment my friend is always there for me. Friendship has grown between us that can only happen once in a lifetime. My friend gave me my work now. He is the instrument of why I understand the world of the horses.

For my friend is Joey a horse I am trying to train for a race.

A Prelude to a Summer Intern Abroad

Posted by: admin on December 14th, 2009

I have to get the Summer Intern program, I just know it with so much logical explanation at that time. So, I patterned every decision making into tying the ultimate summer intern program. I see it being necessary in launching a global career and I am targeting major economic centers for a paid intern abroad. The advantages are limitless when you work and get an experience in these kinds of locations and in this kind of environment.

I chose to target not only major economic destination but also poplar and interesting cities. My preliminary list where the three intern abroad destinations. Being on the list of major economic centers means the destination has many characteristic.

  1. Madrid, Spain is a tough central capital and that it is a successful city and a great thank you to the rulers that promtoed the city. A modern and vast city with Prado, Reina sofia and Thyssen-Bornemisza with its pulsating nightlife as it major attraction. A sightseeing paradise perhaps due to its steeped history with arts as the heart of sightseeing. Expect to visit art galleries, parks, landmarks and museums. Do not miss the Paseo del Arte for a walk of the three great museums in Madrid. Autumn is the best place to be here.

  2. Los Angeles, California is the home of Hollywood Boulevard Walk of Fame, the most famous tourist attraction of California. The best way to experience Los Angeles is through a walking tour since the major attractions just a few steps away from each other.

  3. Paris, France is the centre of fashion and dreams. Many dreams had come true while gazing at the Eiffel Tower at Midnight. Alpine Gardens, Arenes de Lutece, Assemblee Nationale, Avenue des Champs-Elysees and Avenue Montaigne.

I was rooting for these destinations and I landed with Madrid. A city with different language.

How to Make Your Internship Valuable?

Posted by: admin on November 19th, 2009

Internship Abroad Hints

Internships are really a good way of learning or practicing the theories you learned inside the school. But sad to say that most internship choices intern abroad or intern locally on your own country or within your city, are the wrong choice for they would not be needed when you apply. That is why college students who really knew were they are going and already had an experience working would know the proper choice of internship.

For Psychology students they usually went for paid internship abroad and went home finding that the company they are planning to apply does not need the internship that they took. There are undecided students thus their internship was not focused as it should be. When you go for New York for a Guidance Counseling internship made sure that you can use this internship to your advantage. If you are rooting for an Industrial Psychology career then work for it; and you should know what companies are looking for in a certain applicant. In doing so, you will be picked among the many applicants that lined up for the job.

Study abroad is a very expensive endeavor; you are financially limited then you better think if it indeed very needed. If, the internship that you are doing will give you the necessary edge that you are looking for; if not then better look for an internship locally that can help. For the wise and the competitive students they have to go abroad to study for a better experience. Usually the cream and the crop of the school batch get the best choice of the internship.

Your internship is valuable when you can use it as soon as you apply for a job. It is valuable when employer looks for it and finds it on your CV.

The Irony of International Internship

Posted by: admin on October 26th, 2009

Students for International Internship

I am perusing for a good internship destination abroad and I am eying for United States of America. And an article got my attention. It talks about students of United States crossing borders to gain new insights and experience. The irony is many students would loved and coveted to enter the United States of America for international internship opportunities yet their very own students would just love to enter new territories to gain new and fresh insights besides what is available in their country.

International summer internships are costly yet worth it. And students are saving to be able to grab one chance of an internship outside their country for CV purposes. United States internship was never enough for US students. They wanted to conquer even the unknown. This confuses me at first. What are the reasons for such trips? But now… I understand the education department of the United States would like to bring the world into their country.

United States is a considered as the land of honey even up to this time and even with recession hovering in the country. Many tourist applications are still many feet deep waiting for approval. The glory and fame of the United States as a destination for international paid internship and for traveling is not waning.

There are as many students that wanted to get in the country and go out from the country just to grab their international internship opportunities. Summers now means another thing for students.. it does mean weeks of idle mood but a flurry of activities and soul searching and working for they took part of international summer internships.

For you right now, why do you go to a certain destination? Why choose a certain intern abroad program? What are your priorities during your intern? Will you fulfill you goals as you set foot on your destination country?
