My Internship Experience: Of Team Trips & Self-Exploration

13 March 2023 · by InterNations_CC

In this guest article, our Social Media Intern Gabriela looks back at her time at InterNations and the many learning opportunities that her internship provided.

Gabriela recently finished her six months as a Social Media Intern at InterNations.

Does everyone else really have their lives all figured out? In the second year of my sociology degree, it was time to apply for mandatory internships. And it seemed like everyone already had their futures sorted out, while I still felt incredibly lost.

But I reminded myself that the third year of my studies was actually meant for that: to gain professional experience and to better understand what career path to choose after university. So, I decided to open myself up for something new. I would look for something I could possibly imagine myself enjoying as a full-time job and just try it out.

Seeking Opportunities Abroad: My Internship

29 August 2022 · by InterNations_CC

In this guest post, our Corporate Communications Intern Patricia looks back at the past six months at InterNations, sharing what she learned during her internship abroad.

Patricia worked for us as an intern from March to September 2022.

As a business student at the Swiss German University in Jakarta, Indonesia, I traveled far from home. There were two reasons why I came to Germany: to attend part of my double-degree program at the Fachhochschule Südwestfalen in Soest and to do a six-month internship abroad.

Remote First: The Interns’ Perspective on Our New Policy

7 May 2021 · by InterNations_CC

There are usually several interns at InterNations, working in various teams from Corporate Communications to Corporate Partnerships. Our current interns have written about their internship experiences in times of COVID-19, about what they have enjoyed and what they hope for future generations of remote-first interns.

While we have embarked upon our internships at InterNations, many changes have been getting underway. The fluctuating COVID-19 levels, followed by the new remote-first policy, meant there has been a loss of the stability that comes with the daily routine of going into the office. However, there are also many positive aspects about remote work: more free time instead of commuting, spending less money on lunch and transportation, and more flexibility in working hours, to name a few.

Here’s what we think about our remote(ish) internships, with all their pros and cons!  

The InterNations interns take stock of their remote internship experience.
