Embracing Internship at Quay Appointments: A professional career growth in Australia

I am Regina Shrestha, a student in my final semester of Master’s in Business Management from Central Queensland University presently working as an intern at Quay Appointments. Quay Appointments has been the top 10 provider of contingent labour to NSW State Government since 1994.

As our global world continues to shrink, international students like me have faced both opportunities and challenges, and international experiences have become increasingly valuable for me. One such avenue is through international internships, offering students and young professionals a unique opportunity to gain organisational insights, and valuable professional experience by immersing myself in a different corporate culture and environment. Australia has diverse industries and cultures which stands out as a prime place for a student like me who is seeking to broaden the horizon of practical knowledge.

As an international student in Australia, living and working in a foreign country challenges students to step out from comfort zones, adapt to new surroundings, and embrace cultural diversity. ?I had a feeling of nervousness for the organisational culture and was questioning if I was going to be included in the team. Perhaps I would just been seen as an intern. However, working with Quay astounded me with their organisational working culture and how inclusive the team are. They are very professional with all the queries that I had as a beginner in the industry.

Quay Appointments have surpassed expectations in terms of working culture and the inclusive team. The teams are very supportive and inclusive from the very beginning of my internship journey. Quay Appointments offers a multitude of benefits both personally and professionally. Firstly, they provide hands on experience in a global setting, allowing interns to apply theoretical knowledge into real world scenarios. This experience not only strengthens one’s resume but also fosters the adaptability, problem- solving skills and cross-cultural communication skills which gives the essential skills to compete in the job market globally.

?Acquiring job experience as an intern entails learning skills, knowledge and practical skills, professional etiquette in a real-world atmosphere. Embarking on an internship at Quay Appointments is not just about gaining work experience; it’s about embarking on a transformative journey of a professional growth. It’s about seizing the opportunity to broadens one’s skill set. So, to all aspiring interns and professionals, consider Quay Appointments as your next step to embrace the enriching life changing experience that awaits for you.
