Today everybody knows - you need an internship - it gives you some working experiences, it broadens one’s horizon and because you want to have a good job afterwards. As many students apply for interesting one’s, it’s difficult to get the internship you want to. Therefore you need a strategy to succeed. First of all, when did you wrote your last CV? And the last good one? What, you always use the same? No way! Every internship is different, you have to rewrite your personal record/curriculum vitae on every occasion. Last but not least you need an excellent cover letter. We suggest you to proceed this way: write two CV, one with everything you have done in your whole life, a second, smaller one, whith all the facts important for the internship you are applying for.
It’s a new country, a new language and of course a new town - it’s not that easy. Another word for arrival is : Chaos, be shure there are a lot of things going wrong, no room, no coordinator, your credit card is not working, the people speak to fast etc. Do you believe that is the worst that may happen? Oh non, just wait for the first two weeks, survive them and you will have a nice stay abroad. Because in the upcoming days you have to do all the administrativ stuff, papers, papers and papers. Stay positive - it’s the best way to learn quick a foreing language, it doesn’t matter if you’r talking in spanish, french, italian or german. The important is, you try to make people understand you, so keep the dictonary close to you, it’s more important than your credit card. Read some reports form former students in the experience section of this website. And always remember : It may be just a small step for the mankind but for you it’s the beginning of a new era!
