We have interns from all over the U.S. A wide range of College Campuses are definitely represented at Contiki Headquarters. I have worked for the Company since August 2008. I went on a Contiki trip to Europe, summer 2007, and enjoyed myself so much, I came back and started researching how I could become an Intern for the company. It was already too late to apply so I waited till the next application process and was hired! We did our training in Anaheim, CA at headquarters. We spent one day at the office and we were off to Vegas for the next leg of our Internship training. We spent three days going over what the internship will entail, what the company is about and really getting to know each other! I had a great time and knew after training that this internship was going to be an amazing experience. After finishing up our training, our boss Kevin Madsen surprised us with a helicopter ride to the Grand Canyon. We were so surprised and could not wait! We got on our helicopter and were off. They took us to the base and we had lunch and Champaign waiting for us. It was the perfect ending to an amazing trip! During the fall semester we were working on our college campuses promoting Contiki, giving presentation, putting on events. I was the Campus Rep for Contiki and was responsible for getting the word out!
Throughout the semester I had many people contacting me about booking a trip, asking questions, and learning more about the company. Each interns success was based on their referrals and success on campus. If we had 1 person refer us while booking their trip we got to go to Europe in December, all expenses paid. I qualified mid October! I could not believe it! I was so excited and am still in shock that I got to experience such an amazing trip. By the time we left I had 4 conversions (bookings) and was consider an extremely successful intern, I was in 2nd place essentially.
