Dear BSISers,
It was great to see many of you attend the networking event last Thursday and speak with the various ambassadors. It is clear that some fruitful contacts have been created and I would like to encourage you to attend as many conferences and events as possible whilst in Brussels. Last week was just an example of how useful and interesting it can be to create a network/web of like-minded young professionals.
If you wanted to speak with a certain representative but did not have the chance, then you can wait for the interview reports at the end of the week.
In the meantime, I would like to draw your attention to the below two skills-building workshops.
Due to demand, I have also decided to offer career coaching sessions on March 14th. Please note that this would be the last chance to meet with me this semester.
It was a pleasure working with you and I look forward to connecting and celebrating with most of you at the International Dinner on April 12th.
Best regards,
Mona
