Internships & Other Overseas Experiences

Haven't posted anything for some time...have been rather tired chasing 4 year-olds ha (yes, I've gone from chasing primary school kids to the even younger ones!). They are really cute (at times...) but I've realised I don't quite have the patience with young children :P

Anyway, whenever I surf the web trying to look for job opportunities abroad, I realise there are many things I could have done as an undergraduate, or a new grad. Now that I'm seriously overaged, nobody wants to give me internships or hire me for such projects anymore. So if any of you are interested, here are some links. Ha, am trying to live vicariously through all of you...do let me know if you go on any of these :)

AIESEC - I'm sure you'll hear about this in uni, they are a huge organisation. I would have taken up their internship if I hadn't gone for my exchange programme. Looking back, I wished I had still gone...a study exchange programme is quite different from a job internship

Speedwing - for those with more energy...'cos they offer summer jobs such as those in amusement parks as well as au pairs (i.e. nannies). This company is rather expensive but no harm going for their talks to just have a look

iHipo - I actually found this on facebook! haha, looks like facebook can be pretty useful too! They even have internships in Singapore in case you are looking for temporary work with better satisfaction.

Singapore International Foundation - if you've been on OSLE trips, this organisation would be pretty familiar. They are constantly looking for volunteers and have pretty interesting and meaningful short/long-term projects. Also, for those going on exchange programmes, go to their Singaporeans Overseas link to find a Singaporean society in the country you'll be going to.

There'll probably be many more exciting opportunities advertised in your schools so do look out for all these...the YIH noticeboard used to be my favourite place 'cos they had many companies advertising interesting summer jobs/internships and other opportunities!
