Buying your own product?

Although, I am not doing an internship abroad, I was attracted by one of our global partners. It seems that the strategies for employer brand got me so strong with this company, that I decided to join it... An email back and forward and in a week I was already here :) The funny part is that I developed with them those employer brand strategies last year...

Just what I needed at the just perfect time. I am happy sorrounded by people I feel inspired, challenged and confortable with... I never expected to feel this way by working in a company in Peru to be honest but I do. Maybe I dont have a Tom Gara sitting next to me, but I got a new best fun ironic teammate and friend, Coysi!

Regardless the long distance from home (almost 1 hour 1/2), I feel motivated coming everyday with something new to show, something new to bring in. The trip serves as an opportunity to know places of Lima where I hadly go.

My transition after AI have been certainly smooth, I feel very well equiped in terms of abilities, skills, knowledge, experience, perspectives... Probably the biggest challenges to deal with are the burocracy, hierachy, long time taken for everything and passive attitude which sometimes seems to put aside the change agent role of the employees.

Without doubt a great launch for my career pad!

Hey dear, I watched a Peruvian movie called 'Made in USA' at the Chicago international film festival. It didn't really remind me of you because it talked about rural Peru life. However, you should find it and watch it. ;-) Somehow we al have the same spirit as the girl in the movie to go out of our way to see the world.
