Priyanka Adhikari – Civil Engineering, Sydney
After my graduation, I spent quite a while searching for internships and graduate roles on my own but I
was
out of luck so I decided to join PGP. Ever since I stepped in their office, everyone was very
professional
and helped me go through the process in detail. With careful consideration and thought, I decided to
join
them.
They helped me with the process and gave me one on one time to explain to me how things work and how I
need
to prepare myself for the upcoming interviews. PGP was very helpful in informing me throughout the time
how
the process is going on. PGP did not stop their search on landing me a placement. I completed my
online-interview during those times and finally, I was accepted by my Host Company; a building and
construction company. Everything worked out really well. All of my teammates and supervisors were keen
to
have me on board. And throughout these months, I am learning each day. PGP is exactly the jumpstart
every
graduate student could use if they are struggling with starting their career.
I am really happy that I took the decision of joining PGP. It is highly recommended.
Kirandeep Kaur – Business Administration, Melbourne
I am grateful to say that, I took the right decision by enrolling in PGP. PGP has helped me so much by
choosing the right companies and growing as an individual in the workplace. My consultant is a wonderful
guide, he encouraged me to undertake every opportunity which could help me build up my career as a
Business
admin.
Highlights of my internship was gaining a practical industry experience in business analytics and
revenue
management. Developing skills in CRM program and gaining practical experience in project management. My
supervisor is an amazing person. She’s helping in understanding how business work in the real world and
acknowledging the relationship between department with a multi-site and multi-entity organisation. Other
employees in my internship are also helping to develop my skills as a Revenue intern and networking
around
the corporative office.
Danny Cheng – Human Resources, Melbourne
When I signed on with PGP I was assigned to a Consultant, who was friendly and attentive to my
needs. With
the submission of my resume with PGP, within 5 days I had an interview with a company of my
interested field
and began working the next day. This opportunity was not advertised on any career's channels and was
only
accessible directly through PGP's close relationship with the company. Through my experience, I was
able to
gain real industry knowledge and experiences, through the company's willingness to entrust
significant tasks
to me and the learning opportunities that came with it.
Needless to say, I was greatly impressed with the speed and care of PGP's service, and for helping
me find a
great company that suited my needs. PGP is a great choice for getting that first step in
kickstarting your
career.
Bineet Singh – Civil Engineering, Sydney
As soon as I heard about PGP, I was really excited about everything they told me about the program and
guaranteed that I would receive a vocational placement in a reputable construction company.
I applied for the placement overseas, as I'm an India-based resident and wanted to have some exposure in
overseas construction and business development.
After applying for the program and submitting my documents to PGP, I got an interview within 2 days.The
organisation helped me in finding me the type of environment I wanted to work in and helped in
developing my interview skills through practicing mock interviews.
On my first day in the office, I was warmly welcomed by my supervisor and the other staff in the office.
I was helped by each of the colleagues present in the office every day.
The work given to me was according to my knowledge and occasionally in some areas where it went out of
my field. I had a lot of exposure in the office for the type of work and projects given to me.
I thank PGP for helping me and giving me the best exposure I truly wanted!
Abhishek Kumar – Electrical Engineering, Adelaide
Fantastic service from PGP. Great experience from start to finish. My Consultant, was really helpful.
I got placed in an engineering company for internship within three weeks. I felt very welcomed in that
company. Learned a lot from my supervisor and other staffs working there. Thank you PGP. Highly
recommended to anyone looking for internship opportunities.
Anup Bhomi – Civil Engineering, Sydney
Finding a job as a graduate engineer is really tough in Australia, especially if you are graduate from
overseas university. I proceeded internship with the help of PGP in the matter of a week and started
working as a structural engineer.
I got hands on experience of local market and learned about the Australian standard and code. I
definitely have got better than before and confident in this field now, all thanks to the PGP team and
special thanks to my consultant who has responded well in every situation.
Anna Ivanova – IT, Sydney
I’ve decided to use PGP Australia services because I was busy with University and casual work at the
time and needed help to find an internship.
Within three months I had three interviews, and the last one was exactly for the work experience I
needed.
I later learnt that the host company didn’t advertise that position anywhere, in fact they were not sure
if they were ready for the graduate program yet, so my Consultant went the extra mile to help me find
what I wanted. I would recommend PGP for their personal approach and support during the stressful time
of looking for the first skilled job.
Ahmed Raza – Electrical Engineering, Sydney
Thanks for your assistance and prompt feedbacks regarding my internship. You had arranged several
interviews for me at different companies and with your efforts and help, I secured my internship and
also secured an employment over there.
Ian Huang – Accounting, Brisbane
Q1. Can you describe a typical day in your internship?
I need to pick up the Profit & Loss and Comparative Balance Sheet from clients’ accounting software,
transferring to our software, Handisoft. After adjusting all journals, I will begin to prepare the
Business Activity Statement on a quarterly or annually basis. Also, I need to generate the financial
reports for clients and do the income tax return for their company, trust and individual.
Q2. What has been the highlight of your internship?
All partners and other colleagues are friendly and supportive to me. In general, the working environment
is professional with the full of happiness and enjoyment.
Q3. What support/training did you receive from your supervisor and other employees in your
internship?
I have a very supportive mentor in this internship. At first, he will guide me how to use the accounting
software.
Besides, no matter how many questions I have or how simple questions they could be, he is always willing
to
answer the questions and teach me how to be proper and qualified tax accountant. He loves to share his
professional experience with me, and I have learnt a lot and enhanced my knowledge scope to a large
extent.
Q4. What skills have you been able to develop?
I need to understand the up-to-date taxation law in order to answer clients’ questions. Additionally, I
need to
have a good eye on details, fixing problems. I also need to be familiar with all kinds of accounting
software
because clients usually use different software. Being a public practice accountant should have
all-rounded
accounting skills in order to satisfy different clients’ requirements.
Thomas Shalders – Human Resources, Perth
Whilst I can't imagine my experience is the standard, I can't thank Premium Graduate Placements enough
for what they've done. Within two weeks of signing up I had been placed in an internship and offered a
full-time position.
Throughout the entire process Premium Graduate Placements always supported me and without their help I
believe I would not have found employment for quite some time. I would like to especially thank my
Consultant for helping me every step of the way.
Patrick Zhang – Accounting, Sydney
After enrolling the program, I was guided to the right path towards a ideal internship. With the help of

Raghu K. – Civil Engineering, Gold Coast
My Host Company gave me training on different elements like tendering, estimating, subcontractor
management, procurement, documentation and client management. I was able to learn how to prepare
estimates on the basis of Australian Standards.

Thank you, Robin and team, for your valuable support in finding my internship and job. Thank you for

is highly related to my degree and career development, and keep me update all the time about the

that PGP can help and escort more students in their career planning and finding suitable internship
opportunities.
Deepu Kalavakolanu – Human Resources, Sydney
If you are a fresher or an experienced person seeking a job in Australia but couldn't find one for you
because organizations seek local experience and in my opinion internships are a great way to improve
long term relationships with organizations and also to ensure your employment after the commencement of
the program.
And for this my blind opinion is PGP for sure and they are just amazing in terms of customer service and
taking care of the candidate during and after the program by providing the right guidance. Many of my
friends and family members availed the services of PGP and now all of them are comfortable in their
professional career. I would highly recommend PGP.
Nancy Wang – Marketing, Melbourne
I’m glad that I made a great decision which is asking PGP for help. They are all very professional and
very friendly. They provided me a lot of help such as interview mocking training, modifying my resume.
It didn’t take me a long time to get the interview. Their efficiency surprised me. I’m studying
marketing, so I really need a working experience that is related to marketing.
They helped me get into an amazing company where can allow me learn more about marketing in real
business environment. The company they found for me got me involve to every marketing aspect. As an
international student, it is really hard to find an internship without any proper working experience.
PGP is like a bridge that can help you connect to a bright future. To have a good start of your career,
go for PGP.
