Internship

First of all I want to say that I was surprised when I looked over the statistic. Beside Germany-Isenburg who is me, I saw many people from other cities than Iasi, for example: Bucharest, Vaslui, Focsani, Suceava, Roman, Falticeni, Sibiu, Calarasi, Oradea and other. Curious was that I had visitors from: Germany-Kaiserslautern, Germany-Rostock, United States-Huddleston, Italy-Rome, Lazio. I wonder who are they :D !
.
In my next article I want to shoot two rabbits in the same time. Sebastian asked if i could write an article about my internship and second it’s my first article in English. He wants to make an newsletter with all impressions of all internee in @Darmstadt.
.
UL International GmbH Germany it’s a division of UL International. It’s a company that they main activity is to certificate products for America. For example: if Apple wants wants to bring a new product on the market it has to have an UL Certificate. The engineers in UL (Germany, Barcelona etc.) test the product and give after that an certificate.

The division in Germany-Isenburg it’s connected with the other divisions in the world, for example Barcelona. I have two bosses, one is Asli here in Isenburg and another one is Mireia from Barcelona. I only met Asli, Mireia she’s only gives me tasks on the mail, but both of them are great people.

Aiesec gave me the opportunity to work in an international company and it’s an incredible feeling. Everyone here speaks English and I have collages from Czech Republic, Poland, Russia, Dominican Republic, Germany. They are all incredible friendly people and always smiling. When you want something they are always there for you and they treat you with great respect. It’s amazing to work with people in different part of world, because you can learn all kind of culture things about there countries and you can promote you’re country. Everyone is asking me about Romania, how is Transilvania, how is in you’re city, whats the history of Romania. For example, I had a culture experience with Ivan and I talked with him about Romania and Czech. I learned that Czech people say “ahoj” (hello) and Czech and Slovaks can understand each other even if they are two countries. Beside gaining experience in the work field, this cultural part of an internship is incredible.
And not at last I can say after finishing my internship I can go in: Czech Republic – Prague, Turkey – Istanbul, Germany – Frankfurt, Darmstadt. Who knows maybe other countries they will appear on my map :P !
There is no such thing as good internship or a bad internship, is only the you’re internship and how you wanted to be!
