“I was delighted to spend three months in Shanghai interning at China Skinny and learning Mandarin thanks to PMSA and Globalink Internships. China Skinny is an insights-based marketing, research and digital company that specializes in assisting foreign companies with their China strategy. At the time, I had just completed my undergraduate degree in International Relations and wanted offshore work experience to equip me for an international career – so the internship at China Skinny was a perfect match. One of my highlights was presenting China insights to a group of visiting students from my alumni university - University of Canterbury!. Looking back now, I’m so thankful to the Globalink Internships team who were so instrumental in curating this learning experience opportunity in Shanghai. I made amazing memories in Shanghai and gained so many valuable skills that have and will continue to serve me well in my career."

“My internship took place in Tokyo, Japan where I was working for the Australian New Zealand Chamber of Commerce as the Marketing Assistant. This was a great company to work for as I learned a lot about the economy of NZ, Australia, and Japan! My office was based in a WeWork building which meant I was able to form connections with those who worked in the building from different companies as well as my own colleagues. The highlight of the internship program was being able to immerse myself in a new culture completely, I took myself out of my comfort zone and learned about the city, language, and people. There were threeother students from New Zealand who also got placed with Globalink Internshhips which meant we could experience the opportunity together and explore other big cities including Osaka, Kyoto & Sapporo. In summary, Globalink Internships placed me in a well-suited company and ensured I had the support I needed to have a great time”.
