Darko Jefremov,
Intern at Ohridska
Banka Societe
Generale (OBSG)
The expectations I had before my internship started were met and
exceeded. I learn new things every day and my colleagues are very
helpful.
In my opinion, young people in Macedonia are overly-rational, they
don’t want to “lose” their time on internships, especially unpaid ones, they feel like
they won’t learn anything new and useful.
I urge them to start thinking differently! There is nothing better than finishing your
studies and using the summer to get a better understanding on how companies
work and what are their expectations. It is very different from what we are taught
theoretically.
Besides, internship opens many doors, you get to meet new people and learn new
skills, giving you an advantage in the labor market.
