Hello,
I was an intern
for 3 months at Unit Seven in South Devon. I am a student of the Romanian –
American University and I am studying Domestic and International Business,
Banking and Finance.
My work at Unit
Seven consisted of helping the various businesses, members of the creative
bureau, to improve their social media presence and help, from a marketing point
of view, in other areas of the business.
The 3 months
I’ve spent as an intern for Unit Seven were lovely. The work placement offered
me the opportunity to deal with totally new tasks and a completely different
working environment than what I have experienced so far in Bucharest, Romania.
I have met
wonderful professionals that contributed greatly to my professional and
personal development, my colleagues made me feel part of the team the minute I
joined and I was really happy to feel that my work was appreciated.
In addition, my
social life in Torquay was sustained by the weekly student meetings organized
by The Training Partnership and the trips we’ve done on our own. I met many
lovely people from all around the world and I am sure I will keep contact with
most of them. The United Kingdom is a lovely country, London was an amazing
adventure, being a noob to the city, and the people are really great.
Overall, I
believe this experience had a major impact on my life and I will never forget it.
Working abroad transmutes one’s perspective on life and lets you realize that
you’re adaptable everywhere so the world is yours.
“What gives value to travel is
fear. It is the fact that, at a certain moment, when we are so far from our own
country…we are seized by a vague fear, and an instinctive desire to go back to
the protection of old habits. This is the most obvious benefit of travel. "Travel, which is like a greater and graver science, brings us back to
ourselves.”
Albert Camus, Exile and the
Kingdom
