Testimonials:

“I was worried that it could be always the same workshop on how to write a cv or a presentation’s letter and how to behave in an interview like other tens I attended , but it was actually really interesting and I learned lots of new things. I particularly enjoyed the part about networking.”

“I really liked it, that both of them gave us a lot of time to ask questions and went into detail to answer every of our question.”

“I’ve learnt a lot with this workshop, first about the “real” demands and utilities of a CV and job interview. Second I found interesting to see the importance and role of the networking.”

“I believe I now know better how to prepare for my first “real” job interview.”

“They motivated us a lot by saying things like: “you don`t need to be nervous for a job interview or feel below the company. They want you just as much as you want the job”. I think that was very motivating and gave some self-confidence.”

“I really enjoyed the workshop, i found that both of them really knew what they were talking about, and also managed to bring across the information, without just reading of a slide, and managed to involve everyone in discussion, and answer any questions that someone had.”

“I really enjoyed this workshop session. it was interesting and I learned so many new things about really up to date cv job application and how to behave and socialize in general…to have good opportunities. Thanks indeed to the guests and all the AIESEC team.”
