Information Technology (IT) Internships in Melbourne to Fast-track your Career

When I graduated from my IT degree, I was applying for jobs but didn’t have any luck. I was wondering why I couldn’t get any interviews, so I got some help from Career Success Australia who recommended doing an IT Internship program to gain some industry experience. I started the program by doing some career training to develop my Resume and Interview skills and then I was introduced to a few IT companies who were taking interns to help with different IT projects. I joined a good IT consulting firm in my hometown and actively worked as an information technology intern for the 12 weeks. However, something amazing happened during my internship placement. I had been applying for IT jobs at the same time and I got an interview call. I went for the interview and was able to explain about my IT internships program which showed them I had good industry experience and technical skills. After that interview, I was offered a full-time job. I told the news to Naren who encouraged me to take the job and leave the internship, even though I had a few weeks to go. So, that was my experience. The Internships in IT program was a game changer for me and my career. 

As a fresh graduate, I was worried about getting a job. Even though I did have some solid IT experience from back home, I heard that the market was hard to get jobs in Australia, especially when you don’t have local IT industry experience, so I decided to go for an IT internship. I did my research on all the IT Internships in Australia and found Career Success Australia. From day 1 I felt like these guys knew what they were doing. They understood my specific area of IT and passions, and matched me with a growing software company not far from me. I met the Director of the company, Jay, who was very inspiring. He offered me a full-time IT Internship program in his company and I joined straight away. I was mentored and guided across the business and really developed my skills as an Information Technology Internships student. I could see myself growing each week and when I completed week 12 of my IT internship, Jay offered me a full-time job! Thank you to Naren and the Career Success Australia team. I have since relocated to New South Wales for an even better opportunity to grow my IT career. 

I had a passion for information technology so I pursued my masters in IT in Australia and graduated feeling confident about getting a job. However, I tried for many months to secure a job as a BA, Support Analyst and even Data Analyst, but I kept receiving rejection notices. That’s when a friend told me about the IT internships program in Australia and how the 12 weeks of experience can help overcome some experience issues that recruiters don’t like. So, I met with Career Success Australia and talked to them about my plans for my IT career. They advised that the best solution was to invest in an IT Internship program which would increase my confidence and skills and really show future employers that I had Australian IT experience. I joined quickly and was well supported with my new IT Resume and Interview training to pass IT Interviews to get the internship. I joined a smaller IT consulting and software firm on a data science project which gave me a chance to put my uni skills into practice. Even though I couldn’t land a job with my host company, it was OK as I had applied for many jobs leading up to the final weeks of my IT Internship. I had some great news by getting called for an interview with a tier 1 IT company! The internship in information technology was a great investment for me as it has played a big role in getting a full-time job in IT!

I completed my IT degree in Australia and started to apply for jobs. The process was tough without local industry IT experience, so I opted to do my IT Internships program with CSA. From the start, the team were helpful in preparing me to meet host companies. I was selected by a global IT and HR consulting tech firm for my internship. The company was amazing, and my supervisor gave me interesting projects. I am glad to say I was offered a contract role in IT with the host company. Overall, I can speak highly of this IT Internships in Australia program which helped me so much with my career. Thank you to Pearl, Zee and Naren for the support.
