There were a few different career-paths that really stood
out for me, but being ultimately unsure about what kind of direction I wanted
to go in, I decided to seek out an internship for the summer. While this might
seem unusual to do, having already completed my degree, in the UK the concept
of an internship is a relatively new phenomenon. In recent years, however, more
people have been going to university than ever before and so the message became
clear; a degree is not enough.
I spent some time looking at various different intern
programmes, thinking that I’d have to spend my summer days making coffee and
filing paperwork in a gloomy office in the city. By pure chance, I stumbled
upon the Destination Services role. It was exactly the kind of thing that I had
been looking for and, for someone who knows very little about the world of
relocations, it seemed like a great way to gauge whether or not I’d be suitable
for this kind of industry.
Four weeks in and I can definitely say that I’ve learnt a
lot about how a company like Dwellworks operates. I’ve been given some great
opportunities to take part in things that will help me to progress in my future
career endeavours. Working with the other interns on our international project
has been a huge highlight for me and has really opened my mind to aspects of
business conduct that I’d never even considered. I’ve been sitting in on a few
of my office’s business calls and so I’m getting to experience the company from
a huge range of perspectives.
