I just received a video from Paul (our elected VP Comm. ;)) that reminded me of the days I joined AIESEC Iași. I remember that back then we had 3 trainees in Iași and I think I will never forget that cooking night when I personaly met them.
The video I mentioned is about A Mexican in România and made me remember many friends. Thanks Paulina!
Bonus: Here is a joke I enjoyed at ICPS 2008! ;)
They say that a picture can say a 1000 words... Well then, here are even more pictures:
Well, it's ICPS time, yet again! This time we're going to the seaside, in Năvodari, at the Delfinul camp between May 1st an 4th!
It's going to be my first time at the seaside so I think it's going to be even more fun. The bad thing is that after this ICPS I will not be able to get the no-way!-you-must-be-kidding-me!!! reaction from the people finding out that I've never seen the see in my life. :D
The not so good news is that the weather in Constanta isn't going to be one of the best in that period... :-s
Too bad that even though there will be plenty of delegates at the Conference / Seminar, from some point of view, I will be alone... alone with the sea...
The Volunteer's Week (Săptămâna Națională a Voluntariatului) is now over. During this national event, every volunteer organization prepared one more more events during this week (April 14 - 20).
AIESEC Iași has contributed with a couple of free trainings for the volunteers, and also joined in at the march and at the exhibition from Sunday. Speaking of the exhibition, here are a few photos:
Well done Isa! Congrats for coordinating the events so well!
After we have seen the video and after attending Zilele Carierei 2008, it is now time for the outcome. Here is part of what I've seen: workshops, company presentations, recruiters... Full days, Career Days 2008... in a few images:
On May 13th, in Bucharest, there will be an event on Leadership and Team Management: Leading Teams.
It was nice to hear Jim Bagnola, Senior Partner at The Leadership Group and the main speaker at the event mention AIESEC's role in activating leadership:
For a week now, I've started hunting for an opportunity to evolve both professionally and culturally. After my Leadership stage, now I want to go in eXchange! ...just that today I got an email saying:
Hello, thank you for the applications.
I take it that this person can work for only 20-24 weeks (april-october). As we discussed before we need people who can commit for longer periods than that, a few years preferably. I know that AIESEC has a maximum amount of months for the internship, so people having this maximum as their preferred maximum duration are the people we are looking for. Job requisites for under one year can be discarded in the future.
With best regards,
Christian XXXX, Talent Manager
OK mr. Talent Manager, than why is it written in the Job Description (JD) that the duration is preferably between 24 and 78 weeks?!?
Mr. Talent Manager, do you know that to discard means to throw something away: to get rid of something that is not wanted or needed? Is that the way to manage talents?
Too bad, you lost a guy (probably not a talent) that really is interested in:
