Yes, the Europass format is preferred. 'Through EURES, I secured an internship in a design studio in Senigallia, northern Italy. At the same time, I did an Italian language course, which turned out to be a great place to meet people from all over the world and make new friends outside work. On a personal level, it was a very valuable experience as I learnt how to manage daily life in a country so different from my home country - and in a new language. Professionally, the internship proved to be very successful because shortly afterwards I got a permanent job as a product designer in Denmark.' Ebba, jobseeker from Sweden |
