My name is Talia, I am currently a student at Victoria University of Wellington – Te Herenga Waka, majoring in marketing and minoring in media design. I recently completed an immersive 8-week marketing internship in Shanghai, China, thanks to Globalink Internships. During this experience, I interned at Atelier I-N-D-J, an international design studio, where I gained invaluable professional insights. Shanghai has left an incredible mark on me; its people radiated kindness, its rich history intrigued me, and the food was amazing! In addition to my internship, I had the opportunity to participate in Mandarin language lessons three times a week at Silk Mandarin. The teachers were so accommodating which made my learning journey enjoyable and rewarding. I am deeply grateful to everyone who played a part in making this internship possible, as well as to those who enriched my experience while I was there”.

“Going to Tokyo for an internship was a big step, but the Globalink team made the transition seamless. I was placed in an internship that was a great fit and aligned with my interests in finance. I got to work alongside experienced professionals in one of the world's biggest financial hubs, honing my analytical skills while also building my network as an early career professional. Beyond the internship, there's so many cool activities, tourist spots and great restaurants and cafes that make Tokyo an awesome, captivating city.
Darrin was my Japan representative and he went above and beyond to make me feel at home in Tokyo. I felt supported as soon as I landed in Japan and the Globalink team help with anything to do with living in Tokyo, whether it's accommodation, understanding public transportation, cultural/social norms, or just general tips about where to visit and explore. Overall, interning in Tokyo through Globalink was an incredible experience that transformed both my professional and personal life.”

“I was delighted to spend three months in Shanghai interning at China Skinny and learning Mandarin thanks to PMSA and Globalink Internships. China Skinny is an insights-based marketing, research and digital company that specializes in assisting foreign companies with their China strategy. At the time, I had just completed my undergraduate degree in International Relations and wanted offshore work experience to equip me for an international career – so the internship at China Skinny was a perfect match. One of my highlights was presenting China insights to a group of visiting students from my alumni university - University of Canterbury!. Looking back now, I’m so thankful to the Globalink Internships team who were so instrumental in curating this learning experience opportunity in Shanghai. I made amazing memories in Shanghai and gained so many valuable skills that have and will continue to serve me well in my career."

“My internship took place in Tokyo, Japan where I was working for the Australian New Zealand Chamber of Commerce as the Marketing Assistant. This was a great company to work for as I learned a lot about the economy of NZ, Australia, and Japan! My office was based in a WeWork building which meant I was able to form connections with those who worked in the building from different companies as well as my own colleagues. The highlight of the internship program was being able to immerse myself in a new culture completely, I took myself out of my comfort zone and learned about the city, language, and people. There were threeother students from New Zealand who also got placed with Globalink Internshhips which meant we could experience the opportunity together and explore other big cities including Osaka, Kyoto & Sapporo. In summary, Globalink Internships placed me in a well-suited company and ensured I had the support I needed to have a great time”.
