Please find here the regards from our EU Careers Ambassador 2020 – 2021 Fadxi Qasim:
Hey everyone!
My name is Fadi and I’m EU Careers Ambassador for University of Eastern Finland during this academic year of 2020-2021. I’m the contact person for our students, and for those who are interested in hearing about the career and internship opportunities in EU.
If you’re interested in working in a multicultural work community and in a organization that allows you to move around in different work tasks and countries, while also getting international work experience, because employers value that significantly. Stay tuned for the next information session!
You can send me an email if you have any questions that concerns EU careers, application process or working in EU. Uef.eucareers@gmail.com
Greetings,
EU Careers Ambassador Fadi
