Teamwork

In the world of recruitment, supporting multiple candidates, hiring managers and committees requires a group effort and high-level teamwork.

What Our Alumni Say About HR Internships

“I did the Virtual Internships Program and was placed with a consulting and coaching company in Dublin, Ireland. The projects we worked on were varied, all within the HR field. The skills and experiences I gained whilst doing the internship were so valuable to me getting experience within the field I want to ultimately end up in. The company always pushed us to go further and would have daily meetings with us where we discussed how we were getting on and addressed any problems we had. There were three of us interning and they managed to give each one of us their full attention and pass on their expertise, without any of us feeling that we were not receiving the best experience possible. The company still stays in touch now which is lovely!”

— Leah Hazelton, Interned at MISS

“I am beyond grateful for my Virtual Internships experience as I did not only acquire skills that are crucial in my chosen career field, but it also enabled me to obtain a mentor-mentee relationship with my manager even after the programme finished. Her guidance to find my next suitable opportunity meant so much to me and eventually helped me to find my next job which I feel is a perfect fit for my career progression in my desired field.”

— Fanni Marki, Interned at WhiteBox HR

“My Virtual Internship provided me with many great experiences, but my favorite was the close relationship I got to form with my supervisor and teammates. I am walking away from my internship with new personal and professional connections that will last for years to come. This experience has made me so much more confident in obtaining internship opportunities as well as full-time positions in the future!”
