As a new migrant in Sydney, I knew that I had to gain some sort of internship experience to impress companies and recruiters. So I went and found information about Sydney internship programs to see if any were offered in my field of science. I was amazed to see a review for Career Success Australia and gave them a call. After my chat with their internships team in Sydney, I joined the program to get experience in a laboratory. The support was great from the start and I was fully prepared to meet my host company at the interview stage. I was surprised to get offered the internship in Sydney so quickly after joining as I heard that getting a laboratory internship was difficult. But, to my surprise, I was able to start getting internship experience in Sydney quickly. While I wasn’t offered a full-time role initially, the experience greatly has helped my career in Sydney. I have been able to pathway into a great laboratory based position in Sydney all thanks to the Sydney Internships program. It gave my career in Australia the start that was needed.
