Essex Interns is great, low-risk way to try something out for a short period. It adds to your CV, and you get paid to do it. I would recommend it to anyone.

If I could describe my internship at Creative Quills I would describe it as a phenomenal experience. It met my expectations and more. It was great to learn so much about marketing, how to utilise online tools for business and the optimisation of social media. It was a great experience and I learnt so much from it.

Before my internship, the only job I had was a short stint at Domino’s about 6 years prior. I was very afraid of work to be honest and so I avoided getting a part-time job throughout my undergraduate degree, although I wish I had.

I was largely aware of what an internship was before I decided to do this one, but did not quite appreciate the doors they could open for a graduate.

As it is only an internship I did not expect to get any real responsibility, however, from the day I joined I was given important tasks and was made to feel like an important part of the team.

I decided to do an internship because I really value the importance of experience alongside education.

Feedback from interviews I got was that I lacked experience in a professional environment. I therefore sought an internship to help me get a permanent job.

My internship was very fast-paced in terms of learning lots of information about the virtual reality industry in a relatively short space of time.
