Testimonials

“Overall the interview coaching and career preparation has equipped me with invaluable skills that helped me secure the full-time job after the internship (which was my goal in investing in an internship). I spent $100,000 on my education (still paying that off...) at a very prestigious university, I worked multiple jobs, I had a solid resume, but leaving my comfort zone, gave me the confidence and competitive advantage to negotiate a higher entry level salary (while my friends are still looking for a job).... My advice, find a way to do the Borch Leeman program! I couldn't afford it when I applied, but it has been the most valuable investment of my life!”
Xin Yi (EMPLOYED)
   

“Borch Leeman was of great assistance helping me to achieve one of my main professional projects. After an amazing internship in the US last year, I wanted a new similar experience to complete my master’s degree.
Australia was the perfect country to provide me with an opportunity to further improve my professional and communication skills, and Borch Leeman’s team found me a great 6 month contract (a paid position which is pretty rare in Australia) in a vibrant IT company.
I spent this period working with very skilled people, in a friendly atmosphere... with a manager trusting my marketing abilities and letting me work autonomously.  In charge of brand management, visual standards guideline and website modifications, this contract allows me the possibility to put in practice my theoretical knowledge while adding real value to the organization.
Thanks to Borch Leeman and this great contract, I really enjoyed my experience in Australia, and hope to find another project here to keep living my “Australian dream”.
Arnaud (French intern in Marketing)

   

“I have had the opportunity to work on a 6 months contract for BlueFrog Marketing, a marketing agency based in Melbourne’s southern suburbs.
I can only speak highly of the way I was welcomed and integrated in this new business environment. Working as a marketing assistant gave me the opportunity to thrive professionally and personally.
As my job implied working on a great variety projects it forced me to be organized, flexible, and enhanced my ability to adapt quickly in a fast-paced environment.
The work atmosphere being friendly and relaxed I had no trouble finding my place within the company although that can sometimes be found challenging.
The only regret I will have is having to leave at the end of my contract! I highly recommend this kind of experience to anyone.”

Dutch intern in Marketing) 

   

“I sincerely thank you for all your wonderful work and the encouragement, support, good tips and friendship you have given to me. 
I didn’t realise how much you would change my life.  One important thing is that you always listened to me and helped me reach my dream. 
I am loving my job and already learned many things.  You made me feel very special and more confident. You really give us a chance to prove ourselves”
Alice (NOW EMPLOYED)

   

Candidate who had unsuccessfully been job seeking for over 12 months!!!!!
“I came to you hoping you could help me find some industry work experience in my desperation to equip myself with “hands-on” knowledge when applying for jobs. I never imagined you would be able to create a chance for me to not only do that but to work towards a permanent job in my qualified profession. This is a blessing for my family especially with our first baby on the way. 
I keep pinching myself in case I am dreaming.  Thank you for everything.”
Rizwan (NOW EMPLOYED)

   

“I appreciate and thank your team from the bottom of my heart for all you did for me. Words are not enough to express my thanks for your thoughtfulness, support and friendship.
You always make me feel confident to future. After a long term of desperation last year, I appealed to you for help, and you listened patiently to all my worries. You encouraged me and helped me finding an accounting internship since which my life be changed.
Now this internship job has been permanent. I love my job so much and am getting well with my colleagues. The most important is you helped me settling on this country and to get better future. Thank you again for all you did.”

“My internship has been great, the people from my company are friendly and helpful; and through their assistance, I have definitely learnt a lot.
As you no doubt aware, the end of this month is the deadline for lodging income tax return for both individuals and other business entities. Therefore, I have not heard any general or specific comment or feedback from both my boss, Stuart Smith, and my tutor Philip Mac Isaac as they have been busy doing whatever required to be done.
I would also like to thank again for all the efforts that other Borch Leeman Internships team members (Bonnie and Rebecca) have contributed in my internship experience and I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience.”
Best regards,

“I am doing well at my job. 
My first week was good enough to start with. Rodney helps me to learn things and he is always there to solve any queries I have. 
I am doing all sorts of accounting work. I did bookkeeping, maintaining clients file and yesterday I was looking into BAS. 
It has been going fine so far and I hope I will be getting some good practical knowledge.
Thanks”

Raj (NOW EMPLOYED)

   

I am doing really well at my company.
I really enjoy the position here and I have been learning and recovering what I learnt in university.There are 3 bosses here. They all are being nice to me. I have been working with one of the bosses for the last 1 month. I did some individual tax returns and most of the time I deal with company's financial and tax returns. This is a really good placement for me. I learnt a lot of taxation areas in this company. The boss even told me that might give me some auditing tasks. 
Last week I sat down with 2 of the bosses to discuss how I performed in this company for the first month. They were quite happy with what I've done, even though I still need to refresh my accounting skills for first and second week. They also offered me a position in the company!!

Thank you very much to find me a placement in this company, I really enjoy working here.

Cheers

“The first week has been fantastic. Everyone is very helpful.
 
The tasks I've been doing are most admin-related. Tino said it would be good for me to know the company from bit to bit, so hopefully I can move on to some challenging accounting tasks later.”
