With an agency, you submit your resume once and then wait for your offer. They will send it to dozens or even hundreds of companies that match your profile, and will notify you once a company has picked you.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"dfd-spacer-module\"  data-units=\"%\" data-wide_resolution=\"1280\" data-wide_size=\"18\" data-normal_resolution=\"1024\" data-normal_size=\"10\" data-tablet_resolution=\"800\" data-tablet_size=\"10\" data-mobile_resolution=\"480\" data-mobile_size=\"10\" style=\"height: 18px;\"><\/div><div id=\"idinfobox6a25107335e43\" class=\"dfd-info-box clearfix style-03 layout-01  idinfobox6a25107335e43 text-center\" ><div class=\"dfd-animate-container\"><div class=\"icon-wrapper\"><div class=\"module-icon\" ><div class=\"hover-layer\" ><\/div><i class=\"featured-icon dfd-icon-businessman dfd_icon_set-icon-businessman\" style=\"opacity:1;\" ><\/i><\/div><\/div><h5 class=\"info-box-title \" style=\"color: #f6b917 !important; \">Securing top-value offers<\/h5><div class=\"wrap-delimiter\"><div class=\"delimiter\" style=\"width:120px;border-width:4px;border-bottom-style:dotted\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"description\" style=\"\"><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t<script>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t(function($){\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t$('head').append('<style type=\"text\/css\"> .idinfobox6a25107335e43 .module-icon {border-color: #f6b917;}<\/style>');\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t})(jQuery)\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/script>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Your dad sure knows someone at his office that can get you an internship, or maybe a friend of his can offer you to intern for their friend, so why trust an agency when you\u2019ve already got something sort of secure close to home. An internship agency will only get you the doors open at top companies abroad. Some startups, sure, but startups that are at the level of transnational companies.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And in the case of the hospitality industry, we\u2019re sure you can get yourself an interview at your favorite restaurant or hotel.

It\u2019s not like governments don\u2019t pay attention to people in their 20s or like companies don\u2019t listen to the intern when there\u2019s an issue, so why trust an agency to help you?
