Bali Internships

It was very good it really pushed me out of my comfort zone. The team I joined was friendly and treated me very well.

I enjoyed seeing the culture of Bali firsthand. It really opened up my worldview and helped me gain perspective on what life is like for others outside of the U.S. I enjoyed meeting people from all over the world and seeing the differences in lifestyles, work ethic, and overall values. The internship helped me learn more about marketing in the real estate industry, and different skills and strategies that can be used to reach greater audiences and do so effectively. I learned how the marketing team operated and how people in a professional business setting communicate. This will help me with my personal and professional development because I can see how to reach a desired audience when in a business, and the skills that you need to make it happen. I also think I have developed personally much more living in a completely different country, and having to be very outgoing and meeting people often.

About my internship, the thing I enjoyed the most is the destination I chose. Bali was beautiful and everyone was very friendly there. I made so many wonderful memories and had plenty of unforgettable experiences such as swimming with sea turtles, hiking mountains, and seeing so many picturesque places like temples, waterfalls, and beaches. This internship also contributed towards my personal and professional development as, it helped me gain a sense of how to respectfully and successfully interact with other people who are quite different than myself or what I was used to. I also developed the ability to communicate more effectively and in turn, became more confident.

I really enjoyed my internship. I was able to learn how to use software I was not familiar with and also practice my skills in AutoCAD. I most enjoyed how I improved my soft skills, as I had the opportunity to connect and communicate beyond language in order to achieve a common goal at my company. I feel like I learned a lot and changed a lot as a person. I look forward to how this new perspective will shift the choice I make in my future when it comes to my career. My advice to future interns is to come as prepared as you can, but also understand that you will experience things that you were not prepared for or could have known. I think you should take it in stride and just use everything as a learning experience. Having an open mind is the most valuable skill you could possibly bring to this internship.

My internship made me grow a lot and develop amazing skills as I was expected to deliver professional results. I got to design a textile from scratch, learned to sew, attended fashion mentoring, fittings, meetings, and even a fashion show. I grew so much as a person in these last two months that I can’t even imagine saying no to this opportunity. Besides my personal growth, I got to build great networks too.

I am extremely grateful to my coworkers and supervisors, I believe they truly made my experience all that more meaningful. We were all able to build a beautiful relationship both inside and outside the office and it made it easier to collaborate on projects, share new ideas, ask tough questions, etc. This internship contributed to both my personal and professional development in the sense that as it was an experiential learning experience I was able to gain a worldwide perspective through the work I was doing.
