Are you thinking of an internship at an EU institution? Or would you like to apply for a job at the Commission, Council or Parliament after your studies? Do you want to find out what it takes to get there, what are the recruitment procedures, what skills and experiences will you need to showcase, and what are the typical tasks you would be handling?
ECA Maastricht has invited several people that just did it to help you! In this special event, three young professionals will talk about their experience with internships and first jobs in the EU institutions, what was required of them, and what their job was. They will introduce you to the application procedures, tips&tricks, and insights on scoring that perfect internship or job. They will tell you what university experience was the most valuable, what extracurriculars helped them, what questions were asked at interviews, and what you need to work on in order to qualify.
