During the summer 2017 I was doing my internship as a Social Media Marketing and Travel Coordinator in Germany. I worked at the tour operator pm2am Student Trips. This is a small company that has been operating since the year 2009. It doesn’t matter if you are 1st year, 2nd year or 3rd year student or even a parent, this article might be interesting and relevant. I would like to share with you my experience and give some tips how to get a position if you are interested in that.
How, actually, the story began? During the second semester of my studies, I was looking for a practical training for the upcoming summer. However, the rate of unemployment in Finland was quite high that time. Finnish companies and small enterprises demanded some Finnish language skills that were close to a level of a native speaker. I didn’t fit to that requirements that was why almost nobody wanted to hire me here. Moreover, I set a goal for myself «I will live or, at least, survive the whole summer just on my own money. No asking money from parents anymore! ». The situation pushed me to start searching abroad. After a while, I came across the job offering in pm2am Student Trips.
