Internship Testimonials

INTERN TESTIMONIALS

Intern Name: Tristan Lavender
Nationality: Dutch
Field: Journalism

Tristan grew substantially as a journalist throughout his intern-ship. The internship gave him the opportunity to gain an under-standing of Australian life and culture. Throughout his internship he completed the Cambridge Certificate of Work experience and produced one of the highest quality completion booklets seen by Australian Internships.

Tristan’s Host Organisation made the following comments: “Tristan writes well. His confidence and interview techniques improved dramatically as the internship progressed. Tristan’s research was thorough and he persisted until he had a balanced picture.

As a journalist writing for a community newspaper, Tristan had to cover topics and issues that assume a local knowledge. He coped well given his limited previous exposure to Australian accents, idiom and culture.”

Prior to returning to The Netherlands this week, Tristan visited the Australian Internships office and thanked the staff for the constant support through the internship.
