Internship in Malta

Being a student in the Netherlands you have many privileges (if you know about them): endless student discounts, tax reductions, special promotions and last but not least many opportunities to grow as a person while at the educational institution. At Saxion University of Applied Sciences where I am currently doing my study, I am not only a student, but also a student ambassador - a person who one would be in contact with if coming to Saxion for a day or when having specific study related questions. This job entitles my involvement within the International Office of my university, and participation in promotional activities, such as fairs, webinars, social media takeovers, etc. In September-October 2017 I had a chance to physically take part in several fairs (in Russia, Lithuania and Latvia) and personally tell my experience to those interested in coming to study at Saxion. I must say that not every university does the same - in the UK most send their university staff to represen...

Would you like to see how I spend my working days at Gold Lion Holding?  Welcome to this blog :) Every day of the week except weekends I have a working schedule starting at 9AM and finishing at 6PM. These days I don't only spend at our main office in Sliema, but also at Gold Lion ResidenSea - company's guesthouse in St. Julian's - the most visited area in Malta! This is because Marketing Team tasks are divided between Gold Lion Real Estate, Gold Lion ResidenSea and Gold Lion Holding as a whole and being present at the location of the office insures better information flow with the employees and the Management.  Maggie is a Financial Accounting & Administration Intern from the Philippines!

Every 2 weeks I prepare something interesting so YOU can learn something new about this marvellous country and about my life on the island.  It's my pleasure to have you read my stories! I told you little about the town where I work. Sliema, despite being touristic, is a major commercial area, popular for shopping, bars, cafes and restaurants. Sliema was once a quiet fishing village but has now become a town with the most Malta's tall buildings. On my way to/from work, I can see quite a number of people enjoy their morning run along the promenade or return with a couple of bags from the shopping centre The Point (on the picture). Sliema has it all: busy streets during the lunchtime and a bit of quietness at the end of the working day. At work, I'm entitled to a 1-hour lunch break, which I can spend while getting tanned on the bench next to the seafront or window shopping with my colleagues.      ...
