Marketing internship in Oaxaca de Juarez
July 14, 2021by: Thomas David Parker - United KingdomI had a fantastic 3 months working with a coworking company in the city center of Oaxaca de Juarez. Adelante did a fantastic job with assigning me an internship programme as my boss and colleagues were very accommodating and gave me a great experience over my time in Mexico. The city itself is wonderful with amazing food, incredible people and fantastic weather! I cannot recommend this city enough - it feels like a second home to me only after three months living here. Working in a Spanish speaking country is definitely the best way to improve your ability. The lessons I received when I arrived in the country were a great boost and pushed me on to learn more during my day to day life. I have improved leaps and bounds over my time here and its now given me the motivation to keep learning! Overall I can highly recommend the overall experience. I have gained valuable knowledge both in business and in Spanish proficiency and I am very grateful to Adelante for all their work putting it all together. Thank you!
