I am making a pretty unusual request to you all today. My daughter Harriet is studying Business and German at Bath University and is nearing the end of her second year. She is meant to spend her third year living and working in Germany or Austria on an internship. The idea is to give her some solid business experience, improve her German, and to find a suitable subject during her internship to use towards her dissertation which should be on the topic of managing change.

The competition is tough and whilst she has a number of applications in the pipeline I thought that I would appeal to you, my good readers, to see if you can help in any way.

The basic requirement is for a paid internship, ideally with an international focus, for around 12 months starting from July/August 2013. Harriet is keen on a position in either marketing or HR. She has worked in Germany before, speaks fluent German,  and is a very reliable and enthusiastic worker.

If you can help, or know anyone who can, I would be most grateful. Her German CV can be found here.

Please get in touch with Harriet via the details in her CV or myself via tsawford[at]btinternet.com
