Please meet Sofiia Lazarenko, a student at Ivan Franko National University of Lviv in Ukraine, who recently completed an Erasmus internship as an Administration and Billing support intern
While Sofiia's primary responsibility was invoice validation in two separate systems, her internship offered more than just technical tasks. She found the most valuable aspect to be interacting with colleagues from diverse backgrounds. "I believe that the most valuable thing during my stay in the company was communicating with colleagues of different nationalities, ages and with completely different experiences in life and work. Before this internship, I had no experience dealing with so many different people," Sofia explains. "The most interesting thing was finding an approach to each of them."
Frederik, a 23-year-old Danish student, had a passion for international experience and took the opportunity to participate in the Erasmus internship program. Frederik shared with us his journey, from the first moments of anxiety to exceeding expectations, and how Slovakia fascinated him in unexpected ways.
Congratulations to Mariia from Ukraine on landing a job offer after her Erasmus internship as a payment specialist!
Mariia was responsible for coordinating payments, controlling company orders, invoicing partners, and communicating with various departments. This hands-on experience allowed her to gain practical knowledge of financial services. No doubt her persistence in learning and excellent work were rewarded with a job offer.
Mariia highlights the support she received from her mentor and colleagues. “It was incredible and the best support I've ever had across my work experience. My mentor did a great job introducing me to the system of the renting sector and how it works everything inside. I was accepted to ask anything I needed, I felt total support and gentle caring from all my colleagues and managers. It was a warm period of effective and fast negotiation between departments, who did care about each other, so I felt a nice and relaxed atmosphere in the company. I was learning everything rapidly thanks to my mentor and his support throughout my internship period.”
