As a fresh graduate, I knew the key to getting employment was industry experience. So, I decided to enrol in an internship program to gain the experience that companies wanted to see on my CV. I spoke to lots of recruiters and they all said the same thing: “You need some experience, not just a degree”. I contacted Career Success Australia to help me find an internship. I wasn’t too fussed if it was paid or unpaid as I was more eager for the experience. The team were very helpful and organised my internship in engineering operations and supply chain with a global company Orora which is now Opal. I was able to learn a lot over the 12 weeks. My supervisor was really good and helped me develop my skills. Overall, I was impressed by doing an internship as it really helped me grow my career. I am now working at a big company in Australia in my field. The internship has really done its job!
