Luiza C.

Experiences: 6 months Teaching Internship at Cavendy English Village in Foshan, China through AIESEC. During this time I taught in 3 schools and in a training center, giving also private classes and exam preparation courses. At the end of this internship I was offered a 1 year contract with an affiliate of this training center and I remained in China for another year to teach. Social skills: I have developed strong interpersonal skills during the two years that I have worked as a receptionist and entertainer in a hostel. My responsibilities included interacting with guests both during the time spent at the reception and outside the hostel. As a result I have learned how to open myself to others, how to react to other people’s needs and how to communicate with different types of people under different circumstances. This has led to easier integration into diverse groups and more adaptability to different types of people from different cultural backgrounds, as well as the ability to maintain interpersonal relations. I have also developed my skills with diplomacy and quick reactions due to the need to resolve conflicts, complaints and unexpected situations that arise in this field. Organizational skills: I have a strong sense of order and discipline, which are necessary for the job of Administrator, as well as the ability to work with and inside a team. I am dependable, focused and determined when given a task due to my sense of organization and my strong sense of commitment. I have developed and improved these skills while organizing and taking part in local and national cultural or entertaining events, mostly related to my passion for Asian cultures. Artistic skills: During high school I was part of a theater group and took part in several local and national competitions where I was awarded prizes. I was also part of the Guitar Club. During this time I developed my artistic sense as well as my creativity, which later helped me to create and implement several events at my jobs. I also participated by singing and performing in small festivities and events that I helped to create and to organize.
