I would love to follow my internship in the UK actually. I haven't done an internship for my study yet, but when I have to I would definetely go for an internship abroad. I always liked England when I was there on holidays. Also my English is good actually so an internship in the UK would just be perfect.

Also some of my friends are living in Londen now for some time and if they tell me there stories I really can't wait to go there. I love the people there and the culture, so living there for some time would be awesome. Can't wait to go there!

united kingdom, there are just so many reasons why!!!

MAIN REASON the opportunities! they are vast!

If i had money, I would do an internship in Asia or South America in these following countries:

Asia:

- Japan

- Singapore
- S. Korea

S. America:

- Argentina

- Brazil

I would love to do my internship in Paris, abroad is just so appealing, the beauty of France.

What type of internship are you looking for. What is your degree? Did you know that L'Oreal offers internship in Paris?  it is not very likely that you will get an internship  at  l'oreal due to the competition.

do you speak french? becuase if you don't, you will find it hard finding an internship in France!!

After my exchange program in India I like to back there..so,Internship in India!!why not?!

...india's economy is doing well at the moment, but how about the salary level in India?

If you work for a multinational company, salaries are the same than in Europe and even if you don't and you work for an Indian company and you take a lower pay, the cost of life there is so low that you can live as a prince, even if you take what here would be considered a very low salary!

It wouldn't be a bad idea! Thare are such great opportunities there!

what are the language requirement in India?
Are they any internship for french speakers in india?

I've never thought about India as a country where apply for an internship, but it would be great!I've never been there, and I know a few things about it, but it would be an incredible opportunity!!can someone give me more information about which are the most requested fields in which apply for an internship in India? Anyway, another country in which I'd like to apply for an internship abroad, would be the USA..I went there one time, and I fell in love with it!even if there're a lot of contradictions, as everybody know, I think that for young people there're a lot of internship opportunities, that can prepare you to live international job experiences. So we'll see..maybe the next time I'll write a post about my experience with an Internship in the US!

Mmh...I don't think so...

Maybe some French Multinationals that have their branch offices there look for French people, but you have to know English anyway!

I think that Uk is the best place to pursue an internship, because there you can improve your English very well!

That's true...in UK you can learn the "official english".

English in India is a legacy from the British who colonized the country and their language permeated through the most important part of society:  the government, the media, the education system, the legal system and gradually the social sphere as well. India is a vast nation and in terms of number of English speakers, it ranks third after USA and the UK. Anyway, I remember that it was very difficult to understand their accent.

So, that's true Costanza, only in UK you can actually improve your english because you learn the real, "official" english.

I'm happy you agree with me, Laura!

And in what city of UK would you like to do your international internship??

I am in love with London, is the same for you?

Do any body follow the news nowadays?  lol... there is not many internship in london

 at the moment!!

Yes Costanza, I love London as well!

Actually I'm agree with Seal...there aren't a lot of internship opportunities in London. Probably you can find a job as a waiter or shop assistant and try to live there for a few months, but in this case you can't reach the internship certificate. Social experience would be great but you don't have to forget the others skills that you can learn only working inside the company.

Actually I found only one perfect solution in London or UK in general, it's called studios92. Guys, try to have a look in www.internship-uk.com and tell me what do you think about it!

I would love to led an internsip in the USA. Right now I am following an internship in the UK, but if I had the chance I would go to the USA. I once been on holiday in New York and from that moment I wanted to be there more often. So an internship would be the best way to do that.

I would love to led my internship in the United Kingdom. I want to led my internship in a foreign country, where people are speaking English. So that is why I choose for England. It is not that far from home and I always loved the country.

I would like to follow my next internship in Australia, but on the other hand I probably will stay in Holland.
Australia is pretty expensive if you have to do an internship. Most of the internships are unpaid and if you need to find a house there and everything it's kinda difficult.
I think I will go there for a holiday, because I can't afford an internship.

I am currently doing my internship in the UK. I'm in the marketing department of internship-uk.

Although I really like the UK and I have a GREAT time my favourite country for an internship would be the USA.

I wanted to my internship there, but school didn'g allow me because they want to visit your work place as well.

Anyway, I am improving my english daily and I hope to find an internship in the USA eather next or in 2 years.

I hope you are enjoying your internship in Uk. What are you doing in your internship? Do you think you are developing your skills related to your studies? what is your degree? It is always good to improve your second language skills but I also want to gain work experience. Do you get me?

I would like to do an internship in Australia or America. I don't mind to be far from home and I think it will be a great challenge. The experience will be so different than when you're close to home. If you're far away it really comes to yourself, you have to solve everything on your own and that would be crazy first. But I think it's also good for me, it will help me grow. Australia is a very cool country and there is so much to see and the same is for America. I think there are enough companies where I can learn a lot. The countries are so big, so that must be possible!

I dont mind where I will do my internship. my internship should be in French speaking or french company.

I am currently looking for an internship in my own country, which is the Netherlands. I am looking for an internship in the health branche, cause that is related to my study. I don't want to do an internship abroad, cause I wanted to live in Holland the rest of my life. Besides that there aren't much internships offered in this sector. So if anybody knows a company that is looking for interns?

what is the health branch? do you medicine or do you mean physiotherapy or nursing? What are you exactly studying?? Are you studying in your own language? if you are then I understand why you do not need to do an internship abroad...

???? what do you mean with health branch? do you have a degree? if not what are you studying?
I have friend  who fathers runs his own sport and fitness  rehabillitation center  in the  east of Netherlands, close to Twente. Maybe you could do your internship there.

I am studying physiotherapy, so yes that is the health branche, you know like hospitals and stuff like that.........

The study is off course in my own language, I live in Holland so yes it is a dutch study.

Thanks for your advice, it is unfortunately a little too far away from were I live.

At the moment I am following an internship in my own country (the Netherlands). I think I will also do my next internship in the Netherlands. It will be my final year so I definitely want to finish school then. I think it's easier to do that while I am in Holland.
I like it there and I want to stay there for the rest of my life, so I am fine with it.

I wanna do an internship in fashion design in London (UK), NY (USA) or Paris (France). Why? I think that is kind of self explanatory!!

Why don't you try asking for a grant?maybe you could ask your university if there's the possibility to have an economical help to live this kind of experience!I've never been to Australia for an internship or for vacation, but I'd really like to go there one day!I know that there're many job opportunities, especially for young people..it'd surely be an amazing internship abroad!

When I had to do an internship, I followed one in my own country. If I get another chance I would go to France. I don't want to go too far away from home, so France would be a good place.

Michele you're right!Why don't you ask for a grant?You can try at least!

I don't know in Australia, but if you want to pursue your internship for example in Uk or in someother European country, the EU gives a lot of grants for students who wants to go abroad for their international internship!

I like my current internship in UK.

I love it!!

I would like to try the internship experience in the USA.

I prefer China, not only can I work there, but also I can travel in my spare time.

I also looked into that and I also had contact with someone who was doing in internship there. Still it was too expensive for me... Because you still need some amount of money of income, I need to find a place to stay, I have to buy all my stuff there.
I didn't thought owh it's too expensive, let it be. But I found out that's still difficult to finance....

I would like to pursue my international internship in China is well..

Burt also New York, where there are the United Nation wouldn't be bad...

I'd love new York, but also and international inetrnship in London, why not?

Wow!!I,ve never been to New York but it must be a wonderful city where to do an internship!!And the United Nation should be the perfect place!please, tell me something more if you get some imformation about internships in New York and in the USA!thanks!

wow!!they are all wonderful countries, and it would be awesome to do an internship there..but the country where I would love to do an international internship is the USA..no doubt..

I really want to go to the USA, if possible New York. But it is a very expensive place unfortunately.

I've done my first two internships in Holland. In the future I will keep following my internships in Holland. It's easier for me to do an internship in my own country, I know more about how it works here and my school already has contact with potential companies.
My upcoming internships are not that long so it will be difficult to adapt and really learn something in that time. My next internship will be only for 3 days and 2 days school, so going abroad won't be possible at all...

I would like to do my international internship also in a city like Singapore, Shangai or Hong Kong,,,the Asian tigers!

I would like to di my international internship in Uk, for an investment bank of London!

Oh, I'd love to pursue my international internship in New York!! There are the United Nations!

Italy for sure! They have the best practices regarding fotball team companies and great food!

Going abroad is my dream, I want to work abroad, it doesn't matter which coutry.

Not in my home country.

I hope to work in a western country.

I always wanted to stay in Holland and I did, cause I found an intership now

Very good that you found an internship and even better for you that you found an internship in your own country!

I said before that I was thinking about America and Australia, but I've been hearing very good stories about a company in England. I am really thinking about going there. I try to get to know more about the company, but it sounds quite good till know!

I want to go to Germany

I would go to AUSTRALIA and then in particularly SYDNEY . If that is not possible I would go to AMERICA to NEW YORK, loving it

I would like to go to America as well.

Laura, could you tell me more about india internship? What is the internship in India like? 8 hours per day?

I agree, really want to go to America and off course to New York! Been there once and really want to go back there!

I applied for an internship in New York, unfortunately my English wasn't good enough and I wasn't hired. Bit weird to do my internship in England know I definitely want to see New York, but not during an internship anymore.

NYC offers a lot of opportunities for internship..don't discourage yourself!

Do they? I think it is hard to get an internship there when you are from a foreign county.....

Actually I agree with Jess! Lately I found a lot of opportunities there...but mostly in companies from my country but situated in NYC. For examples RAI, or the Italian Commerce Chamber...

it's not that I give up after one turndown. But I only have 1 more internship and I want to do that in Holland, so I will visit New York just as a tourist.

Much better!Lucky you!I've been in NYC once..but I don't know if I could live there or staying for a long period..it's awesome but so caothic!

Been there once as well, what an impact did that made on me! It was huge, but I agree can't live there I think.

If I ever get the chance to live in New York, I would definetely take it. But not for the rest of my life, just for a while!

Not in my own country, and an English country for sure

I would pay for New York!! Wall Street is my dream!

I don't mind the country, but I would like to do my international internship in a very large city, as New York, London or Paris!

Lately I saw some internship in LA and Miami and I thought...wow!But than I considered that my employer, or the selector, could think I'm not a serious person. Los Angeles and Miami are awesome and people sometimes choose this kind of internship not for a real interest in the company but just to try to be in holyday for a longer period. Actually, I think it's a good idea but I'm not so sure that for the selector is the same..

I am not sure if they think like that... I mean if they do, they wouldn't ask for interns, would they? If you just give a good cv and letter and make clear why you want to do an internship I think they will hire you. Just show the reason and make clear that it won't be a holiday for you.

Yes, I agree with you...If I were a manager and I saw one candidate's CV with experiences in places like Miami or Hollywood, I wouldn't take him very seriously...

No, I don't think so...It depends on which company you have applied for...if it's a serious work, it doesn't matter the place!

Don't forget that if you do nothing at your internship in places like Miami or LA your school wouldn't be too happy with it. Maybe they won't accept the internship. But if your school accepts it and you do a good internship then you can put it on your CV and I think the company you will work for in the future will look at that too. They will ask you what you've done there and all. If school has approved it, also on the end, it will also count for something.

I don't think you should really worry about it. If they expect that everyone who wants to work for a company in LA or Miami is looking for a nice holiday I think they're not able to hire anyone. And they wouldn't ask for interns if they thought they won't get serious candidates.
I don't think either that your future employee would care. As long as he can see that you've done something and learned it will be ok.

Agree with you...the important thing is the experience and what you did...not the place...

yes, it dipends on the company where you'd like to do your internship!!

When you worry about something like that, you really should think about doing an internship in your own country. Don't forget that they can think you took a long holiday if you go somewhere else... Even when you go to London it can be seen as a long holiday.

I think that the manager who will select you could think that you're very smart to combine the useful with the pleasurable!it's good!

Yes for sure!

It dipends from person to person....the fate will decide!so, it's worth to do it!

If the company is willing to give a reference or a letter then you will have something more too. That might be in your advantage!

I hope the next internship could be my job as well, so I kind of hope the next internship happens in my own country.

For me the same...I had a lot of experience abroad..but I now I want learn something from my country...also cos my life is there at the end.

For me also. I also would like to find a company where I might be able to work after my internship. It would be nice if I did my internship well enough that I can stay there. That's also a reason for me to find one in my own country instead of abroad.

It is not feeling so good without my family around me, if it is just one or two years, it okey, but if I got a job abroad, that could be 5 years, I cannot bear it.

SPAIN OFF COURSE :D

your next one also? Now you are in Barcelona aren't you?

How many internships have you done before and how many are to come?

Spain must be really cool!

But where are you from?

Sorry to ask, but why is it so important for everyone to go abroad? I mean I think there are plenty of internships in Holland where you can learn a lot.

Amerika, that is really my dream!

But for this education I don't have to follow another internship, so I will probabely just go on holidays to Amerika.

America and Spain sounds so nice!! I want to go abraod, but it's still a bit uncerain where to....

No I don't think that I want to do my next internship in Spain as well, although I had a wonderfull time there!

But the question was where do you want to follow an internship and not where do you want to follow your NEXT internship.. So that is why I said Spain! But I want to go too so many different countries as well, but I can really recommend Spain for your internship.

Ok. I thought maybe you want to go back again. Good luck for the remaining time!

I think Spain is a very good country but maybe for improving the English/American and for a lot of opportunities I would say USA.

Yes USA would be great!!

If I ever have to go abroad, I will go to Brasilia. But I rather stay in Holland and go there for a holiday.

Cool! Brasil would be quite an adventure I think.

I have the same with Australia. I would love to go there, but I rather write my essay in Holland. It's nice to go there on holiday, no problem with that!!

That sounds great!!

Yes I asked if I could do my graduation report there, but school didn't approved it. So unfortunately I can't go there then next year. But when I got the chance I will go there for holiday, maybe next year after school with my sister.

Owh too bad!! It would be nice if you could have done your internship there!
I hope you can go there for holiday!!

I still would say United Kingdom, but I don't have to do an internship anymore.

If I had to I want to go here or stay in my own country.

Wasn't it possible to do an internship in the UK before?

Well my school decided where I had to do my internship and they choosed the company already for me. So it wasn't really possible to do my internship in the UK!

Too bad that you weren't able to give in your own opinion.
Hopefully you liked it anyway :-)

it would be great to work in a hospital in a third world country, but I don't think I will be up to that. Maybe I will work there for some time later, but my internships I prefer to do in Holland.

Yes, me too!!

Isn't it also easier to do your internship in Holland, just when it comes to language? Don't know how your study is, so maybe there is no problem abroad.

Still thinking of France!

France souns good too. I can speak the language, so that's a plus. Of course I can speak English too, so that's not a problem either, Spain would give more problems!

Wouldn't be my place to go. My french isn't that good and if I had to work in a hospital then, it wouldn't be great. Might kill quite a lot of people then!!

Then it is indeed not a very good idea to go to French...

yeah, for me France would be a good choice!It is very close to Italy (my country) and the fashion sector (where I would like to work) is very developed...But first, you have to know very well English, so it's why I decided to do firstly my internship in the Uk!

the fashion sector in France is indeed very developen, cool that you are looking for a job in that. What kind of internship would you like to do?
Is you English improving?
