Internship Placement Process

To facilitate an internship, we need detailed information about your wishes and interests as well as about the period of time you wish to spend on the internship. To secure your internship we are following a three-pronged internship placement process.

1. Application:

• Complete the online application form or apply via email at intern@career-must.com and attach a CV outlining your educational qualifications, work experience, and skills. This CV will be shown to prospective employers, so make it a one to two page professional document that is a truthful representation of your experience and skills.
• Letters of recommendation, such as from past employers or academic supervisors, are considered an added benefit.
• Deadline: All applications should be submitted at least one month prior to your preferred starting date. However, the earlier you apply, the higher the chances for securing the best internships.

2. Acceptance:

• After submitting your application, we will review it and send you a confirmation in less than a week. If your background meets the basic requirements, we will send you a letter of acceptance and invoice by email. We will also ask you to send us a copy of your valid passport and a cover letter (maximum one page) outlining your objectives for this internship and the core areas you are interested in.
• Once you have qualified for an internship placement, a deposit of EUR 100.00 (included in the total payment of EUR 500.00) should be made, upon receiving of which we begin the process of finding a suitable placement and arranging all the other details of your internship.
• We will search for an internship according to the preferences you indicated in your application. Although we give a timeframe of one month for the search, in reality a placement is generally achieved considerably faster. In case no position has been found after the one month period, we offer to refund your deposit, unless you instruct us to continue the search.

3. Enrolment:

• When we find you an internship, we begin coordinating the interaction between you and your prospective employer. You can decide to accept the position or we can continue the search for a position that better fits your career objectives.
• When you are happy with the internship that we propose to you, you will secure your position by paying the balance of EUR 400.00.
• Once you agree to an internship, you will receive an acceptance letter from the organisation, which is referred to as the internship agreement. This document shows the name of the organisation you will be working for, explains the broad contents of your internship, and specifies the duration of your contract.
• Latest, upon the placement confirmation you must apply for a visa to the concerned country's embassy or consulate. The earlier you start the visa application process, the safer it is.

However, please note that we are not responsible for final visa authorisation. The concerned embassies and consulates abroad each have their own guidelines. We have virtually no control regarding an embassy's or consulate’s final visa decision. In the rare case that your visa will not be granted, you will receive a refund of the placement fee (after deducting any direct expenses that might have accrued in the internship search process, such as international phone calls made) upon providing the letter of refusal.
