Marketing / Advertising / PR / Social Media Internships in JAPAN!

Got an email today about these internship opportunities abroad and I wanted to share the opportunity with you guys.
You can take a look at the list of internships available not only in Japan but also in Spain, France, and Germany on their website: http://www.intraxinternshipsabroad.com/

Here are just a few of the PRO's and CON's of these internships, in my opinion.

PRO:

• The internships are open to undergraduates as well as recent graduates! 
• You are eligible to apply for roughly up to 2 and a half years AFTER graduation.
• The internships are great opportunities to gain experience in your field of interest while gaining the experience of working and living abroad. 

CON:

• These internships are NOT PAID.
• The internships not only require you pay for your own travel expenses, but those of the program itself - housing, field trips, etc. 
• Especially for those who are recent undergraduates, there is still a lot of time left to save up money for this opportunity.
• However, specifically in the case with Japan, internships are rarity because in Japan entering a company usually requires that company to invest some sort of paid training for you - this investment of time and money seems futile if you decide to leave within a few months of being hired; therefore, as costly as it may seem, you are paying for an opportunity that is basically unheard of in Japan.

The job search process is tough, but it is not impossible.
I find it rather exciting :)

Hasta luego.
