AA gave me the opportunity to have my international internship at their company. I got to do lots of different tasks during my internship which made it nice to work because of the variation. It was a nice working place to gain experience in the business sector. I felt welcome the first second I got into the office. There is a nice working atmosphere. The colleagues will take time for you and you can always ask questions. They always make sure that you have work to do and that the work fits with your education and school assignments. I learnt a lot about the New Zealand market because of the broad custom relations, I really enjoyed working there.
From the first day of my Internship to the last, I was very welcomed and supported by everybody.
I would like to thank you, because my experience at AA and reference letters you wrote really helped me get this job.
My internship at AA was the best professional experience that I could have done for my personal and professional life, thanks again!
About my time at AA can I say that, I liked the people, the overall atmosphere too. It is a great and dynamic place to work with plenty of options to advance within the company. Working for this company has helped develop my professional business skills as well as my personal life skills. It is a great team. The job is fun, creative and challenging in all the right ways.
AA enabled me to carry out my international internship for my school. My internship was a very enriching experience. AA made me feel very welcome. Everyone took the time to explain everything I needed to know while I was working. The working atmosphere was very pleasant.
