I am an AIESECer

"During my VP term, I have gained so many new skills. I have never thought that I could be making cold calls and marketing calls to company last year in September. I am also learning how to develop my members and it is one of the greatest thing in the world!"

--Jenny Chan, Vice President of Alumni Relations

"When I first joined AIESEC, I was rather shy and did not see leadership potential in myself. But as portfolio meetings went by and as I got to know the executive board and our international interns, I realized that there was much more I wanted to get out of AIESEC. I wanted to go to more conferences, meet more AIESECers, increase my national and international network, put my ideas for our LC into action, develop more self-awareness, get better jobs, work with an awesome team of individuals, make some good friends, and really challenge myself. I got what I asked for and more!"

--Andrea Duke, Local Chapter President of AIESEC Victoria

"AIESEC has given me the opportunities to develop and discover myself and my potentials. During my VP term, I have gained the value of resilience and learned never to give up because the results can be mindblasting! Also, as a member of the Executive Board, I have discovered many useful kinds of leadership and management styles that I can apply to my future profession."

--Yen Nguyen, Vice President of Communications

"I joined AIESEC to develop skills I felt I needed in the workplace and to build my resume. I found I was able to do that and so much more within the organization. AIESEC has given me the opportunity to discover my passions and what I really want to do in life. It has given me the opportunity to build a network within the community of Victoria, across Canada and around the world. It has given me the opportunity to lead a team to huge successes, and to really leave an impact on the lives of others. And most of all, AIESEC has given me the opportunity to find like-minded friends for a lifetime. This is an organization based on opportunities and I truely believe that if you want to make a change, make an impact, then AIESEC will give you the opportunities to get you where you want to be."

--Adelina Wong, Vice President of Finance

"Our AIESEC intern has surpassed our expectations: he is smart, committed and a joy to work with. But the real surprise for us has been the AIESEC program itself. The AIESEC interns and local team have an incredible commitment to each other and to the project. It gives me great hope to see these bright, young people forming strong friendships with such a diversity of people from other countries and cultures."

--Dr. Cathy Kay, President of Keynote Networks

"Our 2007/08 intern was a young woman from the Philippines, May Hao. Upon arrival, she immediately applied herself to the job as the event assistant for our annual university career fair in a way that left no doubt that we had selected the right person for the job. She was productive from the beginning, in spite of adapting to a new culture and work environment. Throughout the duration of her four month appointment, she demonstrated exceptional commitment, professionalism, resourcefulness and initiative and was an asset to our team."

--Jennifer Margison, Past Manager of UVic Career Services
