Virtual internship

Having my internship virtually is very convenient and hassle-free. My everyday work consists of responding to the concerns of some students and doing some graphic designing for websites (because that's what I'm good at). Considering the great deal and variety of persons one will encounter, the field of customer service is challenging for me. This internship taught me that good things worth having never comes easy.

New Zealand - customer service

I am glad to have completed my internship in the New Zealand. ppl there are happy all the time, and very encouraging to work for. My bosses are incredibly sweet and thoughtful. I was able to develop my interpersonal skills and skills in writing too. I guess, my visit to Milford Sound and Christchurch Gondola are the highlights of my trip. I only stayed there for 2 weeks, how I wish I extended it asap.

Stellar addition to my resume

I worked as a Personal Assistant to Dr. David Adams of the Institute for Global Studies, and was given tasks like answering emails, drafting correspondences, and communicating with some interns. I saw the passion for work of the IGS staff and their efforts to assure that the interns are learning and enjoying in their dream destinations. It is a wonderful experience and a stellar addition to my resume. Dr. Adams gave me a great letter of recommendation and I was able to present it to my current employer. It is a huge factor in my hiring. :)
