Internship & Job Seekers
My name is Wijnand Mulder and I am studying International Business and Languages
at Windesheim in Zwolle. Currently I am in the third year of this course and I am
doing my first internship at a tour operator. During this internship I also had to
search out some things in Asia and during this process my curiosity and interest
kept on growing. By doing this internship I also found out that the tour operating
business most probably will not be the business line I would like to be active in
during my career. The economic/trade sector attracts me much more. From
September 2004 until February 2005 I studied in Malaga, Spain, and this is mainly
the cause of the fact that my urge to go abroad is higher than ever. Next year
February I will do my graduation internship. I would like to do this somewhere in
the South-East-Asian region, as I think the world economy will draft more and
more towards this region. Preferably I would do the internship in Singapore, but
one of the neighbouring countries would also be excellent. I think it will most
certainly bring along a lot of advantages if I have half a year of internship in this
region on my resume. I also hope to get to know the business culture over there,
because I expect to find quite a large number of differences between our own
“Western” business culture and the Asian business culture. For more information
and my resume, please feel free to contact me any time via telephone number
0031-652652211 or via my e-mail address wijnandm@hotmail.com.
Hereby I would like to apply for a commercial function with an international
organisation in Singapore. My name is John van der Linde, a 25 year old ambitious
young man from the Netherlands, who would like to make a step forward in his
career. Two years ago I received my bachelor’s degree in commercial business
studies. During my studies I went to the National Sun Yat-sen University in Taiwan,
and studied international marketing there for six months. My English is fluent and
at the moment I’m studying to learn Chinese. At the moment I have two years of
work experience in The Netherlands. This includes working as a business economist,
where I was responsible for budgets, analyses and various reports to the
management. In addition to that, I was a sales representative for an international
pharmaceutical company. But, as I said before, I am ready now to make my dream
come true: Working in Singapore. The ideal job for me would be a commercial
traineeship, for which I am directly available. I hope your interest has been raised
by my enthusiasm. Please contact me via email: jb_vander_linde@hotmail.com.
A quick response would be appreciated.
