Get the best out of your student life by finding a paid overseas
internship in the city of your dreams. Mixing travel with gaining work
experience, The perfect combination!

AN INTERNSHIP ABROAD...

..the perfect oppertunity to use your time as a student for
travelling to another part of the world and work for a qualified
company that pays you for working there. That sounds like a good idea!
Basically, it will be an extended holiday where you will travel and
enjoy your time in a new culture every day. 

Before I show you how to get one of these amazing overseas
internships, let me quickly introduce myself.

My name is Sandor Kerst and on the age of 20 I went abroad for my
first international internship in Thailand. A year later I
accomplished the same thing in Japan for my disseration research
internship. During my time abroad I have been to more than 7 countries
in Asia, seen most of the countries I was interning in and made some
amazing lifetime friendships everywhere I stayed. I was one of the few
students of my university that had this privilege, and not because I
am rich in connections or money but because I discovered how easy it
can be to approach and get hired by a good international company in
the countries I wanted to live in. 

WHAT IS AN OVERSEAS INTERNSHIP?

It is the ideal combination of HOLIDAY AND STUDY. During the weekdays
you will work as a full- or part-time intern at the company you have
chosen. During the weekends you will have the oppertunity to travel
anywhere in or outside the country you are residing in. You will meet
cool local people and other travellers and visit new places together
every weekend. Depending on where you want to go, you can relax on the
beach, party hard in the coolest clubs, eat great local food, go
sightseeing or plan a adventurous trip etc.
And in most cases YOU WILL EVEN GET A NICE INTERNSHIP FEE from your
company which supports all of that! 

IS LIVING AND WORKING ABROAD SOMETHING FOR YOU?

Getting an internship in another country is not meant for lazy
people. The process of getting hired by a good international company
might take a while and requires allot of patience and motivation from
your side. But once you do get hired by one of your chosen companies,
your time will be absolutely amazing. Are you considering going abroad
for your internship. Here is what is awaiting you: 

TRAVELLING ALLOT - During your internship period you will
occasionally visit other parts of the country. During the weeksdays
you can plan your weekend trips alone or with friends, and when friday
afternoon hits, it is time to pack and go! Countries all over the
world offer a wide variations of things to see and do.

 

THE SOCIAL LIFE OF AN INTERN ABROAD - Making friends abroad is super
easy. There are many like-minded students, travellers and locals like
you enjoying there time there by meeting up. If you plan on going
alone, you won't have to be afraid of being alone. During the week
days you can meet up for dinner and in the weekends party or go on a
mini trip.

 

 INTERNSHIP SALARY / FEE - Most companies PAY INTERNS for their work
activities. This can range from $300 till $800 a month depending on
the country, company and your negotiating skills! These are nice
extra's that will support you in housing, leisure activities and more.


 

INTERNATIONAL FRIENDSHIPS - During you stay, you will meet people
from all over the world and share each others cultures. Good
long-lasting friendships will be created and you will notice how your
knowlegde in people, culture and life experience extends.

 

WORK, STUDY AND LEARN - Working in another country gives you extra
obstacles to deal with such as culture and language barriers. You'll
learn new things that contribute to your field of interest and study
while being on a long holiday. If your mother language is not English,
you will definitily gain a boost.

 

YOUR FUTURE - An overseas internship is a powerful reference on your
resume. Future employers will directly understand the self-independent
process you went through, which is not easy. You will also create new
international connections for if you are interested in pernamently
working abroad.

 

EXTRA HOLIDAY TIME - Plan some extra time at the beginning or end of
your internship period to enjoy the country in its full glory.
Relaxing on the beaches, travelling to other surrounding countries,
tasting local dishes, it is all part of your internship!

 

...The above is just a small summary of the things you can expect
during your internship abroad. But how do you obtain one?

GETTING STARTED

If you search the web for overseas internships, an internship in
Europe, internships United States etc., chances are big you will end
up on a website that arranges internships for money. During my time
abroad I met several interns that have tried these online bureaus for
their internships. One of them told me he paid one of these agencies
around $300 for a ‘guaranteed’ internship in Spain. However, $300
and a month later, they e-mailed and told him that there were no
internships available in his field of interest in Spain on that time.
However, they did offer him three internship placements at a couple of
unknown companies in his own country. Does that make any sense? I
strongly recommend you to not use these so called agencies!

THE PROCESS OF GETTING HIRED BY AN INTERNATIONAL COMPANY ABROAD IS
DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND IF YOU ARE UNPREPARED. In most cases, you will
give up after a while because most of them do not even bother to reply
to your cover letters at all! Most universities do not offer what you
are looking for. They might have connecitons with a couple of
companies abroad, but that does not say anything. Interns I met from
all over the world came by their own and arranged everything all by
them selves.

\"ARE YOU ABSOLUTELY SURE YOU WANT TO INTERN ABROAD?\"

I bet at least a couple of people will strongly recommend you to stay
in your own country for your internship. Most teachers, friends and
family members often think an internship abroad is:  too difficult,
only meant for top notch students, requiring prefect language skills
etc. That is what they've told me when I explained that I wanted to go
for an international internship very badly. There where loads of
oppertunities from well respected companies just around the corner,
but I refused them all because THE EXPERIENCE OF LIVING AND WORKING
ABROAD IS SOMETHING UNIQUE AND A ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPERTUNITIY. And
yes, you can agree that arranging an overseas intership is not an easy
job. Yet, there are only two essential qualties that will get you
there:

- Motivation
- A high self-esteem

So get yourself together, and get ready to find out how to get hired
by an international company anywhere in the world for your dream
internship!

It is all explained in: 

\"THE ULTIMATE GUIDE FOR FINDING THE PERFECT INTERSHIP ABROAD IN THE
CITY OF YOUR DREAMS\"

 

WHY I WROTE THIS GUIDE

When I came back from my first internship in Thailand, I decided to
give a couple of seminars to classes on my own university. After every
class, I noticed how many questions I received from my fellow
students. Also by mail I received quite allot of questions which where
all basically the same. “HOW DO I FIND A GOOD COMPANY IN [CITYNAME]
AND MAKE THEM HIRE ME?”
After answering a couple of e-mails, I found out I was typing the
same huge amount of text to everyone. So I decided to make one big
bundle of tips, advice and explanations of how the complete process
works from your country to the final internship destination. With the
help of other international interns from all over the world that
shared their methods and tricks to me, THE GUIDE WILL BE ABLE TO SHOW
YOU HOW I AND MY FRIENDS WERE ABLE TO GET AMAZING INTERNSHIPS ABROAD
WITHOUT HAVING ALLOT OF MONEY OR CONNECTIONS.

And the best thing is, THE GUIDE REALLY HELPS!!! I gave the guide, in
his pre-early release version, to a couple of students I knew that
where trying to get an overseas internship. I was happy to hear that
all of them received positive e-mails back a few weeks later from
companies all of the world. My GOAL IS TO HELP AS MANY STUDENTS AS
POSSIBLE IN AQUIRING THEIR OVERSEAS INTERNSHIP. The guide provided
them the methods and tools to contact hundreds of qualified companies
and in the end they were able to filter the most interesting ones down
to only one that they liked best! The guide will give you the chance
to experience something unique for 6 to 12 months in a city anywhere
on earth. Interning abroad combines working and living in another
country while still fully concentrating on your study. 

Here is how you might experience an internship abroad....
-------------------------

\"BEFORE I STARTED MY INTERNSHIP IN SHANGHAI, I HAD NO IDEA OF WHAT
TO EXPECT. IT WAS MY FIRST TIME GOING ABROAD ALONE AND IT WAS ALL VERY
EXCITING. MY COMPANY NOT ONLY PAID ME FOR THE INTERNSHIP BUT ALSO
ARRANGED A TOP-NOTCH APARTMENT IN THE HEART OF THE CITY CENTRE, WHICH
HAD A MIND-BLOWING VIEW! IN THE FIRST FEW WEEKS ALL I DID WAS
DISCOVERING THE BEAUTIFUL CHINESE CULTURE AND THE HIGH-TECH CITY
ITSELF. TOGETHER WITH SOME GREAT PEOPLE I MET DURING MY TIME THERE, I
GOT USED TO THE CITY AND EVEN MISS IT RIGHT NOW! SHANGHAI FOR MY
INTERNSHIP WAS IN ONE WORD AMAZING!” 

- Ronald Versteeg, The Netherlands

The guide is written for everyone who wants to go abroad and live a
similar lifestyle for the duration of 6 to 12 months. Is does not

LIVING AS AN INTERN ABROAD

- Me
(embracing nature during a mini-holiday while interning abroad in
Japan)

_"Being an intern in Thailand is like entering a rollercoaster ride!
After one month, my daily sceduele was full! After work I went out for
dinner, parties and small breaks in the weekends towards the beach. My
time there was absolutely crazy."_

 

- Rachel Mors (Interned in Bangkok, Thailand)

_"I always had a dream to live in South-America. My internship gave
me the oppertunity to not only enjoy my time in Argentina as a
tourist, but also work for a great company for six months. I made some
very good friends by living in a youth hostel and now all I can do is
miss this incredible city."_

 

Matias R. (Interned in Buenos Aires, Argentina)

_"My intership abroad taught me so many things as living on my own in
an unknown area, making new friends, gaining work experience and
exploring a new culture. When I look back on my time abroad, I smile
because it was one of the best experience in my life so far."_

 

- Mostafa L. (interned in Dubai, United Arab Emirates)

_"My internship in Tokyo was amazing. I met so many new friends and
the things I did in the weekends where awesome. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS
TO ANY STUDENT CAPABLE OF INTERNING ABROAD. It is way better than a
regular holiday since you get the chance to really taste the country's
culture and way of life."_

- Christian M. (interned in Tokyo Japan)

TESTIMONIALS

"Just got back from an amazing internship time in Barcelona. My
university contributed nothing in finding my internship abroad.
Instead I used your guide and it works! I got hired after one month of
intensing searching and I had lots of choices! Thanks allot."

applicants and how you should approach them. Thank you so much for
leading me the way to my internship in Paris!"

"Hello Sandor, Thanks to your guide I now live and work in Rio de
Janeiro for my internship. I had no idea that getting an internship
abroad was that feasible for everyone."

 

_- Javier S, Spain_

"Before reading your guide I had my hopes high on a couple of well
respected companies in New York. However, none of them replied to my
e-mails and I gave up soon after that. Your guide thaught me so many
new things that I was not aware of and I used it straight away.
Together with your advice, tricks and samples I got hired by an
consultancy firm in New York! I am so happy!"

enthousiastic of having me in their team."
