Singapore Internship with Meiji Internships

My main reason for becoming interested in interning abroad came from being stuck in an entry level job that was not so motivational for me. I did my 2 month PR & Marketing internship in Singapore, where the people were great and I was actually learning something for once. The city is really good, and theres a lot to see and experience there. I feel that during the 2 months I got a good look at real life there, a lot of my time was spent in food courts to be honest! My only regret from this was spending much more than I had planned, so I couldn’t travel in Asia as I had planned.

Singapore is such a good place for an internship, its full of smart young professionals, and some of the most talented expats I’ve met in my life. It’s really a place you can learn a lot and grow at your best potential. It’s also just an amazing city, there’s a lot of fun to be had and you can very easily get by with just English. I became close friends with my colleagues and we still keep in touch to this day - I’m looking forward to being welcomed back to Singapore by them next year! Thank you Meiji, honestly a painless experience throughout and I can confidently say I can put my full trust in you!

I believe that if you intend to do an internship, you should most definitely travel abroad for it. It’s an incredible opportunity to experience a completely new environment, and in most cases later in life, your chance to do so will be pretty small. My time in Singapore was great, It’s an extremely interesting country that blew my mind every day. It’s also a great place for young professionals, the company I worked with was a relatively new startup and it felt like many of the employees were in the same stage of life as me. Maybe it’s just me, but I prefer this as I tend to learn a lot more from people I can relate to. Meiji sourced me an apartment that was literally 20 minutes from the office, and also located in the centre so I didn't waste any time commuting. I will say however that Singapore is pretty expensive at times, so do your research and make sure to save some money beforehand.
