"While I was studying, I had to fit work experience around university. I could only really work from a company's office over the summer vacation, giving me limited slots to fit in a traditional internship. Why bet everything on a couple of spins of the roulette wheel? So, I started a virtual internship that let me work remotely and fit around my studies. I learnt how to prioritise my time and effort, and how to make the most out of contact time with my manager. These are skills I have used time and again through my subsequent career as a consultant. Over time I've become increasingly grateful for those early experiences - so much so that I've now chosen to support Virtual Internships as one of their investors."
