  30. Intern Testimonials “It was more challenging and pressuring than what I expected. I found myself liking the internship, in fact, loving it. After a couple of months of hard work, I was promoted as the Housekeeping Team Leader and then, I was offered the Supervisor's position. The internship program definitely opened the doors of opportunity for me in my chosen field and made me rethink a lot of things. Now, I'm sure that it does not matter if you start at the bottom, for as long as you put your heart into it, work hard, have good timing, and with a little luck success will certainly go your way!" Leica Rose Aban Filipino Hospitality “I recommend my Host organisation because of the professional way they work and the knowledge they have. I gained a very good look into the Australian Planning System and the way such an office works. The staff at my Host Organisation were very friendly and the company has an excellent team of young and experienced planners. The staff were always available for questions and open to the interns ideas. Thank you Australian Internships for your help and for placing me in this company” Jan Strehmann German Town Planning Australian Internships – Agent Presentation
