Intern’s name: Lindsay        Internship Company: Design Works        Field of Internship: Graphic Design
Internship Length: 3 months, 2005

I did my internship with 'DesignWorks', Enterprise IG, a graphic design company. The internship lasted for nine weeks. During the course of that time I was an assistant to the designers. I contributed by doing image research, photographed for client projects, built product models and contributed to the overall operation of 'DesignWorks'. From this experience I have learned more techniques with the design programs and new ways of research.

Living in Australia has been an amazing experience. I really have enjoyed it. From this experience I have found that I was able to adapt to change well. I enjoyed seeing a new country and its beautiful and diverse landscapes. I learned from working in a new culture and will always remember the people that I met.


Intern’s name: Marian       Intern's Home Country: USA        Internship Company: Chubb Insurance       

Field of Internship: Accounting
Internship Length: 3 months, 2005

Hi!! My name is Marcee and I am sadly finishing up my internship here in Sydney. I can not even begin to explain what an amazing experience I have had here. I have made some of the best friends: interns and locals. My internship here was under Chubb Insurance. The employees have been fantastic and make my time here even more enjoyable. Everyone has been so eager to help me and get to know me. I work in the accounts department here and assist anyone with anything they need help with. So I have been here for two months, and it has seemed like it has only been about 2 weeks. I have found that Sydney does live up to its reputation. Before arriving here, I was told that everywhere I went, I would run into the nicest and friendliest people and they were right. Big City Life is so different to me because I have lived in a small town in Mississippi my whole life; my university is even located in a small town. So things like public transportation are so new to me. It was a little scary at first not knowing where to go and how to get there but I soon grew accustomed to the Big City way of life. I met these amazing American girls at the first social that I attended and have become great friends with them throughout my stay. These girls are the ones that have made my time here so much more enjoyable. I guess I would have to say that this experience has given me proof that I can be independent and outgoing. I have learned to take control and step out of my safety boundaries. Thank you so much for allowing me this opportunity. I hope to come back to Sydney (maybe in the summer time here) in the near future.
