Dublin Testimonials

Michael
Hofstra University: School of Law
Law/Legal
"It was a great work experience, I learned a lot, was able to improve some lawyer skills I will need for the future, and really enjoyed my time there. I don't have enough good things to say about the firm and the people there. They were all very friendly, patient, and willing to help me acclimate to the firm and to Dublin in general. Thanks again for helping me find that firm."

Jacquelyn
Post University
Psychology/Social Sciences
"Participating in the Global Experience[s] internship program has been a great experience for me. It has given me the opportunity to learn a lot about other cultures and myself. I have met a variety of people from all over the world and gained a lot from this experience."

Phoebe
University of British Columbia
Government/Politics
"I was able to work with a good company and learned a lot from my supervisor and co-workers, while being able to experience the Irish lifestyle. Knowing how to communicate across cultures and being comfortable in unfamiliar surroundings are important skills in the global employment market. Working abroad has equipped me with the necessary skills needed to be a versatile employee in the workplace."

Allison
Saint Cloud State University
Graphic Design
"Living and working in Dublin, Ireland, was a great learning experience for me. The people are fantastic and the country side is even more beautiful than the pictures. I worked as a graphic designer and I learned an incredible amount from my co-workers. I still e-mail them today to bounce off creative ideas or ask them questions about our field. My own personal strength was challenged, and ultimately I've learned that it takes perseverance, in any walk of life, to be successful. I am currently working as a graphic designer in Minnesota, and I can say that my internship had a large influence on being hired over my competition. It shows drive and self-motivation to live and intern abroad."

Colleen
University of Wisconsin Madison
Government/Politics
"Global Experiences provided me with an excellent opportunity to learn about Irish culture by working and living in Dublin. I gained valuable work experience through my internship with an international development NGO, which encouraged me to pursue a Masters in Diplomacy and International Relations. Living with a host family in a suburb of Dublin gave me the chance to become familiar with the city, culture and people in a way that many visitors never do. Using weekends to explore the beautiful and historically rich countryside of Ireland was an added bonus to an already incredible experience!"

Christine
University of Conneticut
Information Technology/Computing
"The internship was in the exact field I was looking for and was what I was looking for. It was a good experience and very helpful."

Jillian
Stonehill College
Advertising/Marketing/PR
"My internship, along with my social and cultural experiences outside the office, helped me realize the great extent of my independence and abilities. It allowed me to learn more about myself and develop better confidence. I think employment abroad on a resume will impress any future employer for all the skills and personal experiences I have built on. I wish I were able to stay longer! "

Alex
George Washington University
Human Resources
"Global Experiences' Dublin program was an incredible opportunity to accomplish two great things at once: I had always wanted to reconnect with my Irish roots, and I had been meaning to do a Human Resources internship. I was able to do both through the 8 week program, where I acquired invaluable knowledge with a real Irish company during the week, and travelled throughout the country and the region with other GE interns during the weekends. I was able to experience the "real Ireland" living with a family just outside the city of Dublin and commuting to work every day. The skills I developed working in my HR consulting firm have proven to be the most work important experience to date, and got me my current job. From the pub life to the natural beauty of the countryside, Ireland is an incredible place, and Global Experiences helped me immerse myself in the culture, and get a fantastic internship."

Shishonyia
Rockhurst University
Business
"I believe that my experience abroad will provide me with a competitive edge because I took the chance to go to another country to do an unpaid internship. That shows I have the initiative to adapt with the ever changing global employment market."
Talking Dublin
Our Placement Process
We excel at matching each intern with the best employer by learning about you and your expectations of your experience abroad. There is not another group or company that does this as well as Global Experiences.
Finding the career that is right for you is a journey that may last a lifetime. Global Experiences will help you identify your personal and professional interests and skills while affording you an opportunity to apply those in a real world work environment.
Global Experiences does not place you with just any company, but rather walks you through a comprehensive consultation to understand your academic background, learning and career objectives, language proficiency (where relevant), and whether you are interested primarily in the cultural travel experience or the professional development opportunity. Getting to know you and understanding all of these variables helps Global Experiences identify the internship that will best serve your needs and expectations.
We work with thousands of employers worldwide covering a broad range of academic and career fields. Once you inquire with Global Experiences, we learn as much about you and convey the types of placements that are available. We are generally able to let you know in our first contact whether you are a good candidate for our program. As we guarantee our internships, Global Experiences will not accept you into the program unless we are confident about finding a suitable placement.
Once you are accepted into the program and pay your program deposit, Global Experiences will immediately begin formalizing your internship placement. We will work with you to create an effective resume, prepare for an interview, and organize the documentation required to secure your visa. All participants will have access to a portal of pre-departure information that will help prepare you for your Global Experience.
