A life-changing experience with EURES TMS

My name is Simone Floris, I’m 29 and I come from Sardinia. I discovered the opportunities offered by EURES TMS in the newsletter issued by the Sardinian Agency for Active Labor Policies, in the summer of 2022. It was there that I learned about the Eurodyssey program. After delving into what it entailed and pondering for a few days, I told myself it was time to step out of my comfort zone and take a risk. On that day, I still didn't know that I had made the best decision of my life.

A few months later, I found myself in Brussels, working as a marketing assistant for a local electric bike company. Despite its small size, the company boasted a multicultural and multilingual team that allowed me to strengthen my language skills and put into practice what I had learned during my studies. From the very beginning, I committed myself to make the most of my experience. Thanks to the kindness and availability of my colleagues and the guidance of my supervisor, at the end of my internship, I was offered a six-month contract, enabling me to enrich my resume with over a year of continuous work experience and kick-start my career in the field of marketing and corporate communication.

In conclusion, the experience was undeniably formative and exciting. Beyond the aspect related to enhancing my CV, international work mobility is an excellent tool for personal growth, understanding what we are capable of, and, above all, realizing who we want to become. 
I genuinely believe that the internship with EURES TMS was not only crucial for my career but, above all, was that life-changing experience for the better.
