Experience abroad: StandOut Internships

Getting relevant work experience on your CV is crucial if you want to be successful when applying for graduate schemes.

Graduate unemployment is believed to have soared by a fifth in just two years. There have been over 69 applicants for every graduate position in the UK. The statistics show that having a degree is no longer always enough for securing a job after university.

Impress employers

StandOut  offers internships in most fields of work from 4-26 weeks starting any time of the year. Internships are offered in Law, Finance, Marketing, Advertising, Graphic Design, Fashion, Engineering, IT, Events, Journalism, Film & Radio and many more.

Undertaking a StandOut internship is a great way to show the world that you are serious about the career you are thinking about undertaking. The experience you gain will help you immensely in interviews as you will know from firsthand experience what you are talking about which will really impress employers.

At the same time, an internship gives you the chance to test the water and decide whether or not a particular career is for you before you commit to a full time position. What is more, StandOut gives you the opportunity to live and work in Sydney, one of the most vibrant and beautiful cities in the world.

Professional development

If you undertake our Summer Internship Program  then you will also receive 3 days of professional development training from an ex-senior executive of HSBC. The interview training and general careers advice you will be given will set you up perfectly to excel in graduate scheme applications.

All our internships are structured to ensure that you undertake meaningful projects and don’t simply end up making coffee. You will be mentored throughout the internship.

Differentiate yourself

Our sole aim is to get you the relevant experience you need on your CV to make you stand out to graduate employers. Competition for graduate schemes is as intense as ever and relevant work experience is one of the best ways to differentiate yourself from other university graduates with similar degrees.

Please get in touch if you’d like to see examples of the sort of work you would do if you chose one of our internships.
