As nations tackle the COVID-19 epidemic, a rapidly increasing number of employees across the world are working remotely as part of the efforts to mitigate the spread of the pandemic. Countries worldwide have enforced a full or partial lockdown and major firms have put recruitment on hold. Nonetheless, students and recent graduates can still show employers that they are willing to gain professional experience and a pandemic will not hold them back.
Hey there! My name is Alejandro and I come from Colombia. I'm currently on my exchange program in the Netherlands and last summer I interned in Spain!

This is Evan Guzman, an Absolute Alumni and Brand Ambassador living in New Jersey, US. I'm currently studying at Fairleigh Dickinson University and I was an international intern in Barcelona, Spain last summer 2019. This is my story!
The Absolute Ambassador community is created by Alumni who have evolved and grown personally and professionally during their experiences abroad. Ambassadors are experts on their summer programs and they are the best individuals to give future participants guidance, tips and ideas of what they need to know before embarking on this experience.
