Many college students that we speak to are not sure about what industry they want to work in and we understand them. The people behind Absolute, have been interns in the past as well and dealt with the same challenges and dilemmas as today’s students. So, what’s the best way to find out what type of internship you should do and at the same time know it will benefit your future career?

Since September 2010 I’ve been given the opportunity to intern within the marketing department in one of the largest trading firms in Shanghai.

Are you one of the many students that want to intern abroad but need financial aid? We have gathered a list of links with scholarships that can be applied on an international internship program.

How do you get the most out of your new life abroad? We know. We will give you the best tips of living abroad as an expat.

We’ll start of with how how to bargain in China and Shanghai. Since most of our all year round students never bargained in their life before, they often lose a lot of time and money on things. Not anymore.

First time working as an intern? We know how it feels like. It’s sometimes really difficult for students to adapt from class at college to an internship abroad in an office environment. You need to be professional and show a great attitude, that’s the best way to approach an internship.

The internship experience in Shanghai mimics your typical startup venture. You must have the patience to endure all the details, cultural differences, the different means of communication (not just language), and lastly figure out what brought you to China in the first place. Just as most startups need local consultants to help lay the initial groundwork and help with any situations that may arise; you will need a personal consultant as well, Absolute Internship.
