My Intrax internship in Paris allowed me to work on a major initiative for Microsoft – recruiting talent from French universities – and develop a skill set for my future career.

There’s no “answer” to culture shock – but I found that I was better equipped to handle the ups and downs by at least familiarizing myself with the different stages of it –I like this compilation. Now that I’m on my second stint living in France, currently in Le Havre (moving back in Paris in May), it’s been much easier, and I feel like I’ve finally had the time to put down French roots, even if I’ll always have an accent. Come join me!

Living in Paris and using my French in a business setting was a great experience. Specifically, I worked on several projects supporting a global competition that Microsoft sponsors called the Imagine Cup, which was held in Egypt this year.
Heather

My experience in Paris was truly memorable because I was able to work on meaningful projects for a major global corporation, while experiencing a different culture and seeing my French language skills improve.

During my Intrax internship, I found my future career and what I am most passionate about. I also learned how to articulate my accomplishments during the internship in my resume and cover letters during Intrax’s final Global Skills Training™.

I feel the need to leave you with an important statement: Go abroad. It will enhance your ability to speak the language and open international doors that you can't open on your own. It's a gigantic boost, not only in the business world (my resume is so much sexier now), but personally, too. I grew more in two months than I would've dreamed and wouldn't trade my experience for anything.
Mathilde
France, Pathmotion
Yale University, History
Ski Team, Club Squash Captain, Yale College Council
Working for a start-up company was an incredible experience. I have never learned so much in my life. I was not only involved in investor relations, but also became an expert on social media marketing, comparative analysis of potential competitors, and creating an implementation strategy for the company's entrance into the U.S. market. In the start-up environment, I was trusted with important responsibilities and truly given a voice in the decisions made by PathMotion.
Matthew
U.K., Electronic Shipping Solutions
Marquette University, Economics
Big Brothers Big Sisters, Lions Club International
After graduating, I was looking for a good professional opportunity. I found Intrax, did well during my summer internship, and I ended up with a full time job in London. One thing I would tell anyone who has the slightest thought of going abroad is to just go for it.”
Michael
Spain, Morningstar Financial
University of Rhode Island , Spanish/ International Business
Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity, URI Student Senate
By far the most valuable lesson I learned was how to behave and perform as a true professional rather than a student. Also, from Global Skills Training™, I learned quite a bit from people who really know what they are talking about.
Pablo
Spain, Morningstar
University of California, Berkeley , Economics and Applied Mathematics
Latino Business Student Association, Sigma Chi Fraternity
I would recommend the Intrax program because I gained both a great internship with a prestigious firm and professional experience in a different culture to help me succeed in a global business environment. Now I’ve graduated and I’ll be working for Citibank in New York
Robert
Spain, Morningstar
University of California, Berkeley, Economics
Sigma Chi Fraternity
The investment banking industry is ultra competitive. There are more sharp people graduating from top schools that are looking for jobs than there are positions. International experience with the world's leading provider of financial data, Morningstar, gives me a demonstrable advantage over other job seekers.

Class of 2011, University of California, Irvine, Computer Science
It's amazing trying to think back on all that I have done, and the time that I have spent working, yet it all seems like a blur, and each day goes by very smoothly, unlike what I expected from a full-time position.
Teresa
Spain, Madrid, Lola, Advertising and Creative Planning

TJ
U.K., Almirall
University of California, Berkeley, Economics

Living in a foreign country and having to adapt culturally, while simultaneously juggling challenges at work really forced me to mature quickly. I came back feeling like a true professional, able to tackle any obstacle thrown in my path with confidence and ease.
