The EB team 10/ 11

The first round of EB elections 10/ 11 is over. The ride has been an experience not only for the new just elected EB but also for the current one.

The emotions that the stories the current EB shared in the videos brought back good memories on how awesome the year has been.

The Election Day in Tartu on the 13th of March- Listening to the LCP speeches and VP speeches- brought back memories about how we were feeling when we took that step.

In Tartu we chose our new LCP- Ott Niggulis and gave confidence to 4 VP candidates. But no one new what was going to happen to them- will Ott pick them to become the EB team 10/ 11 or not?

But now the wait is over! The fate of Kadri Kõvask, Evelin Pani, Mari Sarapuu and Alar Laanep has been decided!

But this is not the final team. They are still looking for two people to be a part of team which will lead LC Tallinn next term. Who will be those people- YOU?

The second round of EB applications is opened- take the step and apply.

Application deadline is 28 March 23:59

This is Jaanika´s story

"Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we often might win, by fearing to attempt." (William Shakespeare )

This is Katrina´s story :)

This is a little glimpse of our experience we want to share with you. The ride has been full of variaty, full of fun and cool moments. But it has also been a journey trough our own lives personally. This is an experience that has changed each of our lives and taken us to places that we couldn´t even imagine a year ago.

Enjoy

The EB application deadline is 6th of March 2010

Step up and live the experience!- It´s a hell of a ride :)

Gertel´s story

During the EB elections we, the current EB team, want to share with you our experiance. This week will be all about, how each of us came to the idea of becoming an Executive Board memeber. This is Gertel´s story:

What will be your next step?

In Spring 2009 five brave people started a journey to make a difference in the organization and in their life. Five people who shared the same dream, believed in their potential. Those five people decided to step up and were chosen as the EB team 09/ 10 also known as the Extreme EB.

Now their term is ending...

...Who will be the next EB?

You?!

Join the ride to take a look back at their experience and the experience to come!

Excuses

Well, my plan to fill the recruitment application form went wrong. Not just wrong but I didn’t do it, because I got a phone call from one company and they invited me to a job interview. This call changed all my plans and I found myself smiling. Maybe I don’t have to go abroad?

After ten minutes smiling I decided to read more about recruitment. Why my happiness stayed so short? Believe me, after a long period of having a lack of luck it is a normal reaction to doubt about everything. On the website www.aiesecestonia.net I found a lot of information about application procedures and realized that planning to go abroad is not so easy. Before you send an application to AIESEC coordinator you have to compose a curriculum vitae, full the registration sheet and read forward. Now I know that it is last minute to start with collecting money ;)

My friend has herpes on his mouth and he goes to see himself on the mirror about every hour. He is hoping that herpes will heal or best of all fade out by miracle. That’s how I hope, every time when the new day begin that something exciting will happened with me. The truth is that nothing won´t happen if you do not accept a decision or makes any choices. I missed my today’s excitement.

What is your excuse? What stops you to fill the recruitment application form?

A Girl

Start

My name is Girl and I decided to pass through the winter recruitment in AIESEC Estonia. During the recruitment period I will write my story as an encouragement for you, who still isn’t sure if the recruitment is something you wish to do. I am not sure whether going to abroad is the right solution for me at this moment when my life is a big mess and I cannot find any exit.

I am 26 years old (as you noticed not so young anymore) and in spring 2009 I lost my beloved job. I have been between jobs approximately 9, almost happy, months. I am changed as a person, but to be honest, I do not miss my “old” me at all.

During the unemployment period I have broadened my mind and trying to figure out what I enjoy the most in my life. I feel that I am very close to my own truth, but not exactly …

In November and December 2009 I am participating in training program that is meant for beginner entrepreneurs. As a result of this training I should produce a proper business plan and become an entrepreneur. Today I realized that I rather shoot myself instead of becoming an entrepreneur. I do not want it and I don’t like it although I know that my family is counting on me. Sorry!

Finding my own truth is the reason why I decided to join AIESEC Estonia. Tomorrow I will fulfill the recruitment application form and look forward what will happen next.

What is your biggest dream and be honest, is it your dream or someone elses?

LC Tallinn Picnic 09

Flight number 0708 has landed!

Dear passengers of the Flight 0708, this is your captain speaking. The flight that took off exactly one year ago has now safely landed to switch the captain and the crew!

Our take-off was quite bumpy, and for a while we had no idea where the heck we were flying to. However, at some point we managed to find the map and started to fly towards our destination. The flight has been really joyful and I hope that you have all enjoyed a lot. There have been many stops on our way to celebrate and have fun as well as get some work done.

The new crew has got their training done and they are now ready as ever to make our flight 0809 the best one ever! I am very sure that the next flight towards the ultimate dream destination will be also helluva journey, especially with Liise being the freshest and most talented captain for the flight!

So Liise, Merka, Jaan, Nele, Ott, Oliver - the flight 0809 is ready to take off ;)

 

Until we meet again on board,

Riina

What are you doing this summer?

Thought I post today something practical - why talk about philosophical things only, when the main joy in life comes through practice (and through practice comes philosophy:).

So here's a chance - making an adventure this summer, going away from Estonia for 2-3 months to work in a new country.

The program is easy - you apply, get selected and get a chance to choose an internship from different Central- and Eastern-Europe countries.

You arrive to a new country and culture (CEE region is rich of cultures - from Turkey and Balkans to other side of Russia), create a new network of friends, get new professional experiences and once you arrive back - see a world in a whole new way.

5 reasons to go abroad this summer vs staying in Estonia:

1. It's an adventure - want to live an exciting life? Make exciting things, go out of your box even if scared in the beginning

2. Develop yourself - it's not so easy to start your life all over in a new country, so you don't have any other chance then to become a more confident, capable and aware person once your out of your comfort zone

3. Get friends - some of my best friends are from CEE region, they are different, I love it (I love my Estonian friends too, anyway it's good from time to time be overwhelmed by kissing-hugging-smiling-sharing-people from South part of the region)! World is small, it's good to know people

4. Discover a new culture - people do things differently "out there", they understand world in a whole new way than you, they challenge you with their values, approaches and explanation of how things work. Getting to know it makes you see Estonia differently and bring some innovation back here

5. Make a next step in your professional career - university over or about to end? What next? I guess some reflection time while discovering new working styles and spending time out of the influences "back home" helps you to figure this out

So here's the idea - grab your chance before you get settled in an internship in Estonia you hope will help you in the future. Or get settled with a permanent job or a family or anything else that would keep you permanently here without finding out what COULD have been. 2-3 months of investment of your time to something that can influence you a lifetime is worth considering.

What next? Start by contacting Alisa - alisa.logofatu@aiesec.net (or if you are already AIESEC member - contact her anyway to ask about your next steps). This girl is more than glad to help you with practical information and get together with people who help you to find yourself after a few months in the middle of Europe, in the beginning of a remarkable adventure and personal learning experience!

Check out the video about the program (originally from Czech Republic - thank you, guys, for sharing it!), deadline for Estonians to apply is 15th of May.
