Description

These days, you need something to kick-start your job search and set your resume apart. Intern in Mexico is an ideal way to give your resume an international edge that will help future employers distinguish you from your peers. You will gain tangible work experience, insights about a professional sector in Mexico, and intercultural communication skills. So start getting excited about:

* A climate of legendary perfection - Cuernavaca was nicknamed the City of Eternal Spring by Alexander von Humboldt in the 19th century. If you're looking for ideal summer weather, you can't beat Cuernavaca's blue skies and mid-70s temperatures.

* The best internship for you - With a custom placement, you won't be pouring coffee and sharpening pencils. You will be given real work that's important to your organization and from which you can gain meaningful experience to apply to future positions.

* Language immersion at an internationally recognized university - You will study Spanish at the renowned Universidad Internacional, recognized by the New York Times as one of the top language schools in the world.

* Life-and home-cooked meals-with locals - If you want to understand the hearts, minds, and culture of the Mexican people, it's important to learn the language and live with the locals. CIS alumni continue to tell us that one of the most positive, memorable aspects of their experience in Cuernavaca was the bond they formed with their Mexican host family.

* A fashionable, contemporary city - Gated haciendas, nightlife, and glamorous architecture have helped establish Cuernavaca as a beautiful, cosmopolitan city. But if you need a change of pace while you're there, Mexico City - one of the largest, most energetic cities in the world - is only about an hour away.
