tips for internship

Hi everbody. I would like to give you some advices when you are searching for the internships.

1. read carefully TNs, especially company and job description.

2. check well if the salary they are going to pay you is really enough for your living.

3. ASK, ASK and ASK. ask TN manager or company representative lots of questions interesting you before you are making any internship.


For instance, when i read TN, it was written that i will work in Re/max. it was written that the local company merged with remax that assumes that remax bought this local company. Here i found out that the local office here is just a FRANCHISE of remax. those who study business administration understand what i am talking about if you not, then please ask people or sources who can explain it to you. the point is that it is not branch office but just the right to perform under this name. It means that the administration of office is not US original but local therefire if you want to experience company management in US style it's not the case.... It doesn't mean that somebody cheated me, no, it means that i didn't check this information well i just even didn'think that it can be a francise...

secondly, i though but i didn't ASK that it is a big office with lots of employees and big organization. In real, the office in VT is about 10 people and here in Bansko 5 with us!!... :(

about the salary, it's enough if you do not buy clothes and eat very simply and go for a beer twice a month.. in all other cases.... you have to find the alternative sources of money. Especially in the beginning you will have to buy lots of things for your home, especially if you are girl... For instance, we had to buy with Uliana heater, blankets, curtain for shower, slippers, bowl for washing the clothes, powder, Domestos, and.......... the list is a big, believe me!

Therefore take some amonut of money with you enough for the first time and if your parents can support you with money afterwards if needed that can be also very good!

that's why i really suggest you to check all information that it written in TN and rely on not on your impression but facts. For example you can also request the CV of your company manager, organization chart, code of ethics and etc that can provide you information about the company.

anyway, we are still positive and we undersand that we are the first that's why we will face the mistakes and obstacles but can advise you not to repeat them.;))
