The most erratic step taken in my life

I have currently been studying in Manchester for the past three years. I did a BA (Hons) in English.
English was initially my subject choice as I have always wanted to do something with language, maybe teaching or lecturing.
I mostly enjoyed most part of my studies as I was studying a subject that I felt comfortable with. For first year of university, I did an internship in London for 3 months in Public Relations. I was writing a lot of articles in French and English for a youth magazine. I really enjoyed this internship as I was on my own and I was mostly learning things which I would never haver learnt in a normal summer holiday job.
During my 2nd year university, I spent 6 months abroad. I was in Toulouse, where I did an internship internationally. I was working in a school where I had to teach students English. It was my first experience abroad without my family and also in regards to teaching. I enjoyed teaching a lot as it was all about dealing with young children, engaging with them, communicating differently as their first language was French and mine was English.
For my last year university, I had to do my dissertation and as I had to do a piece of creative writing which involved writing a story. Being in the UK for my dissertation was very hard for me, so I went to Mauritius which is where my origins are. For me being in a different atmosphere and location definitely helped me with my dissertation. I was also doing a voluntary work experience at the University of Mauritius in the Language Department. This work experience was slightly different from my previous ones as I was mainly dealing with older students. I was however working closely with the HR Department as I had to interview students for their university entry, especially focusing on their language skills, which is a compulsory need for the University.
After graduating, I was back in the UK and I have been trying to look for a job. I initially wanted to do my masters in 2 years time but it was hard for me to focus on the subjects that I want to pursue my career further. I was looking online and I came across www.internship-uk.com and I applied for an internship in Human Resources. I was working with Gift-tours.com and Studios-92.com. For me this has been the most amazing and eccentric working experience ever. I have been in New Romney, Kent for nearly a year. This internship has helped me to develop my communication skills a lot as I was constantly dealing with different people from all over the World. Internship-UK for me is the best and always will be. I felt so invited and so engaged as from the very first day I was there. Working in the Human Resources department has helped me to work on my weaknesses and to refine my strengths. I would say that Internship-UK and working with Gift-Tours.com and Studios-92.com has really boost up my career path!!
