I took part of an amazing internship opportunity in Dublin, Ireland all thanks to Connect-123. What I loved about Connect-123 is that they really put you and your future endeavors first. They help you find a placement that is in an area of interest for you and that will hopefully allow you to grow within your respective future career.

For me that was Child Life/Play Therapy and I was placed in a children’s hospital. Connect-123 didn’t just find me a placement, they continued to make sure that this was a good fit for both me and the hospital, towards the end of my internship we met to go over how I felt my progress was going and how my internship supervisor felt about it. The closing interview with Connect-123 proved once again that they were there for my best interest. During this meeting we made additions to my resume, figured out a professional way to ask for a letter of recommendation, and went over mock interview questions.

I constantly felt supported by Connect-123 during my stay in Dublin, if I had any problems they were a phone call away and they helped highlight key points of my internship to use for my resume and future interviews.

As for being in Dublin, Ireland, not enough can be said. It was the experience of a lifetime and I fell in love not only with the city but with the whole country. Dublin is rich in opportunity, history, shopping, and culture. There are countless things that I have done all over Ireland not just Dublin; I went on a literary pub crawl, a hike up the Sugar Loaf Mountain, nature walks, the Titanic museum, beaches, The Cliffs of Moher, Dublin Writers Museum, Giants causeway, Galway, Guinness Brewery, the Ring of Kerry, I even kissed the Blarney Stone! The nightlife is amazing and the people are so kind and friendly. Dublin itself is very diverse with people from all over so you’re bound to make a wide variety of friends, it’s a cultural adventure of a lifetime!
