It would be impossible for me to describe my time in Cape Town in a few sentences because the memories could fill a book, but I will try. I worked for a technology start up organization. The company had just transitioned from a non-profit to commercial in nature. The company had just moved into some nice new offices, and my bosses brought me out for a beer to just shoot the breeze for the first afternoon to get to know me better. I worked directly for the directors of the organization which gave me an excellent opportunity to brainstorm with them some ideas about the company should go forward. My bosses were really great guys. One of them had over 20 years experience as an entrepreneur and he is smart as hell. The company’s president was a young guy in his early thirties and we really hit it off and got along great. We would bounce ideas off each other a few times a week to make sure that we were all on the same page. Going to work was a pleasure. The hours were flexible but consistent, and they gave me some time off to travel and see some of South Africa’s beauty outside of Cape Town. Specifically, I had an opportunity to work with the company at a time when it was growing really fast. While the directors were taking care of the wheeling and dealing I basically just helped them with all the nitty gritty stuff they didn’t have time to do. It was a really excellent way to put my business/ entrepreneurship degree to practice. I collaborated with the company’s president and developed the company’s marketing strategy. I also completed financial projections and wrote a comprehensive business plan for the company. In addition, I helped them to rewrite the website. The company was open to flexibility and new ideas, creativity and efficient research were helpful skills. The other people in the office were really nice and the atmosphere was relaxed. I had a blast and I would recommend the job to anybody. OK, so now the really fun stuff. CAPE TOWN IS AMAZING. I have been lucky enough to travel to every continent except Antarctica, and Cape Town is the only place I have ever travelled to that I did not want to leave and I felt I could live there forever. I fell in love with Cape Town and Africa. the people are amazing (all of them). The nightlife is great, the food is great, the booze is cheap, the people are beautiful, and the city is stunning. If you like doing stuff outside, Cape Town is for you. That’s all. If you want to work for the company I did and you have any questions get my contact info from Connect-123 and I will get back to you. Connect-123 was a great help. Eimear helped me get the perfect internship for me. They hooked me up with a great place to stay and some really awesome roommates. They organize some really fun social events that were some of the highlights of the trip. The Connect-123 crew is really cool and helpful in general, and I would definitely recommend it to anybody! Cheers!
