What does a normal day look like for you?
Each day in career services is different, unique and exciting. Day to day my work includes scheduling events; group workshops and personal meetings with students. A lot of the Career Services work is encouraging students to get a real understanding of their specific career objectives and goals.

We begin by asking the students what their dream is. And then, through dialogue and discussion, we begin to build a profile of a students’ ideal internship.
We also provide hand-on help with cover letters and resume preparation.
In addition, we work individually with each student to develop their interviewing and their networking skills.
Can you offer any advice for students looking for a great internship at the European School of Economics?
If you are not fluent in English, make a pledge to yourself that you will work on your English by taking classes, signing up for tutoring sessions, or make a point to live with Americans so you can practice your English morning, noon and night. If you end up at school with several students who speak you language, resist the urge to speak to them in your native language. This is a good practice for your future internship and will further enhance your communication and language skills.
