Journalism Volunteering in China

All I can say about my internship… what an experience. Hong Kong has my heart, I came here not knowing what to expect, but I can now tell you all to expect a lot. Seriously love this place. Big love to Meiji and my host company for taking care of me, and especially my company for being so kind when I would come into the office hungover from my all-too-frequent indulgences in the Hong Kong nightlife.

My time at The Intern Group in Hong Kong was with two words: pretty amazing! I applied because I had to find an internship internationally in fall 2021 as part of my university degree. Having done some market research, I concluded that TIG was the most experienced in this field. Summing up what they most helped me with, I would say: - Visa and Covid precautions - Contact person and coordinator at the desired location (Sau Yi, what a guy!!!) - Assistance with finding the right internship, using their network, improving your CV format etc. - Housing & quick networking/finding friends in Hong Kong - Weekly events amongst all the other interns (dinners, hikes, trips) So is it possible to have the same experience without TIG? Yes, absolutely Is it likely you will enjoy your limited time there just as much? Most likely not because living in new environments and gathering internship opportunities has a lot to do with who you know and how much you know and at least in this department I can say that The Intern Group Hong Kong program that has a fantastic program manager in Sau and that it is very smooth to dive into your new life in Hong Kong thanks to TIG.

I had the opportunity to intern in Hong Kong in a prime french company in their sourcing department. This opportunity was enabled by The Intern Group Hong Kong. I am very thankful for this opportunity that enabled me to increase my experience, expand my network and familiarize myself with the rich Cantonese culture. I blindly recommend enrolling in their program and also recommend taking an internship in Hong Kong that happens a great city to explore, hang out and have unique experiences. I would recommend Lan Kwai Fong over the weekend for outings and for networking with local and international professionals living in Hong Kong.

I was Sceptical at first about the program. I wasn’t sure whether they were going to be able to find me a good job, or if I was going to like the job they found me. Luckily, everything was better than I expected and the team was able to provide me with an excellent working environment and experience overall.

Hong Kong is a fabulous place! Traveling is my life goal, so I've been in many places so far, but Hong Kong was special. It was the first time for me to do an Internship so maybe it also influenced my feelings haha. Until now I've been traveling without looking for work experience, and I realized I had to focus a bit more on that if I want to find a proper job in the future, that 's why I decided to do an Internship. I am open to new cultures and new societies, and I think this is an obligation when you are traveling. My Internship placement was a good match, so thank you Meiji Internships for your hard work!

the intern group provided a well-rounded internship experience for me. they were able to place me in an industry and company that I was looking for. the team was very helpful throughout the whole process. Activities were fun, and we had a lot of fun!
