Internship
   Summer 2003
"I worked for 2 months at CILA as a Booking Administrator (managing all the bookings from the enquiry stage to payment). I was very quickly integrated by the staff, and they let me a great autonomy in my job, event if I wasn’t a native speaker. Working in an Anglo-Saxon country is the most complete way to improve your English: you negotiate, learn professional terms, answer the phone, etc. And Irish people are so patient! I have improved my English and gained professional skills: a complete experience!"

"This was a work experience that I will never forget. I went to Cork to improve my English because I was very weak in that subject and I needed it to work for the future.
I worked in the french department of an au pair agency. I was in charge to developp the french market and to help my manager in his job. Coming from a rural province but studing in a city, Cork was the best place to meet people and learn english. Cork's Peolpe are so friendly!
I came back enriched by this experience and with many good memories. I had the most fun I have ever had on a trip. I never forget Cork and Ireland. This a form of learning I would recommend to people who want to learn and improve their english."

Working in the marketing and customer service deparment helping students and answering questions concerning to CILA's English courses was a very good exceptional experience."
