think that with every experience

DAYS: You have some experience in this area. Can you share some advice with other young people who are looking for their first job – like you did a few months ago?
STASZEK: For me, looking for a job, having all these interviews – that was very stressful. What advice would I give to young people who are starting out in the profession? For example, completing an interesting internship, thematically related to the job we potentially want to do. I did two in total.
TALENT DAYS: Not bad! That mayotte email list 100000 contact leads
certainly helped you stand out from the other candidates. What were those internships like?
STASZEK: My first internship was in the market analysis department. I worked mainly with Excel. To be honest, I wasn't really interested in it - I expected something a bit different. But that doesn't mean I don't recommend it. It's always worth trying different things, even for a while - especially if you don't have any experience on your CV. This one wasn't for me in the long run, but the internship allowed me to verify that. Internships aren't everything. There are also various projects at the university that you can get involved in and learn something new thanks to it.
TALENT DAYS : Ok, so we know you recommend internships and generally different options for gaining skills and experience. Why do you think this is important?
STASZEK: I think that with every experience we can score additional points in the future, when we are looking for that dream job. Other people, including my friends, are often picky when looking for a job – “I don’t want to do this, that, I won’t sit on the phone…”. I see it differently. Instead of sitting around doing nothing, it’s better to do something – it doesn’t have to be our final job, but a temporary situation. It’s worth doing internships or volunteering to gain experience (sometimes even without pay), which we can later build on in our further development.
TALENT DAYS: It is definitely important to stand out in some way, to show that we want to, that we are motivated and that we take matters into our own hands. Even if these are (seemingly) small steps on this path to a career.
STASZEK: Of course! And don't limit yourself to the Internet and sending CVs - a great alternative is job fairs, where you can talk to employees of individual companies. What else can I advise? You have to focus primarily on your strengths. Don't think in such categories as: okay, I only know Excel, but probably everyone knows it, so there's no point in bragging about it in your CV.
TALENT DAYS: Of course! You have to have a little faith in yourself and think of yourself, your skills as something special.
