Essex Interns is great, low-risk way to try something out for a short period. It adds to your CV, and you get paid to do it. I would recommend it to anyone.

If I could describe my internship at Creative Quills I would describe it as a phenomenal experience. It met my expectations and more. It was great to learn so much about marketing, how to utilise online tools for business and the optimisation of social media. It was a great experience and I learnt so much from it.
