CV Cafe

3/12/2014 Wednesday at 18:30 @ MUDAM

Career SC would like to invite you to CV CAFÉ: join us for a drink, share your thoughts on CVs of other trainees, and at the same time get feedback on you own! We are sure that your CVs already look amazing but there is always room for improvement, right?

The event will be divided in 2 parts:
1. Speed-CV-ing (each person will have a look at all the CVs, one at a time, decide if he/she likes it and write a short comment (like/dislike, pros/cons) in no more than 2 minutes)

2. Discuss your CV with a partner (you will work in pairs and look at your CVs in detail as well as give thoughts and ideas on ways to improve it)

IMPORTANT! Do not forget to bring two printed versions of your CV: one version with your name and/or photo covered/deleted for the first part in order to receive more objective feedback, and one version of your normal CV you would send to your potential employers for the second part.

Meeting with Enrico Infante and Mihaly Szabo this Wednesday

Dear all,

On behalf of the Careers SC, I would like to invite you to a pleasant and productive evening to MUDAM. After the series of EPSO talks, we would like to bring you an on-hand experience from two working professionals of the European Commission.

The meeting on Wednesday will be a first meeting out of our series. We have chosen two professionals from DG Eurostat that will speak to us about their experience starting from the moment that they became blue book trainees. I will add short bibliography of them soon.

You are all welcome to attend and ask plenty of questions! The speakers are very open, friendly and there only for you. MUDAM's Wednesday will make it a must-do event!

Wednesday, 18h30 Mudam Luxembourg 

Enrico Infante is currently a Statistical Officer at the Unit C1 National Accounts methodology, Sector Accounts, Financial Indicators at DG ESTAT. He is expected to finalize his Doctor of Philosophy in Statistics (PhD) in 2016 at the Universita degli Study di Napoli Federico II, where he achieved all of his University diplomas. In 2011, he has been a blue book trainee at Unit B2, Methodology and Research. If you want to know more about his later career path, please do come to our informal event on Wednesday.
