I had previously worked overseas for many years in IT Project Management, but when I moved to Australia the local experience was a big barrier for me. So, I did some research and found that Sydney internships are the best way to overcome gaps and concerns with local experience. I did some internship coaching with Naren and his team, but it was still very tough to get interviews in my situation. I opted to proceed with an internship in Sydney. I was paired up with a technology consulting firm in the app development sector and was soon involved in their projects. I was mentored and given great exposure on new technologies and tools to coordinate their projects and the company offered me a role after my Sydney internship program which was the best news ever. I stayed with the company for several months after completing my internship in Sydney as the work they did was really interesting. Since then, I have moved up the ladder into a new position in IT management in Sydney. Overall, my experience throughout my internship program in Sydney was terrific as it was the bridge that I needed to get back into the job market in Sydney.
