I.- WELCOME MESSAGE We all want to be part of a story of success, right? Well, guess what? There has never been a more promising and exciting time in AIESEC in Mexico.

So, in the past years, we grew consistently across all programs, in 20 out of 24 local entities. And of course, our revenue grew accordingly; our national reserves doubled from last year. We’re in the process of starting 9 new LCs and 25 SU’s, quadruple the number of new AIESEC entities we started in the last 4 years combined (and the county still has a lot of geographic potential to grow!); partners are increasing their satisfaction reports, member retention rate is peaking, our events have become true top quality, and our connections to business leaders had never been this high. We’re proud of our performance so far, and we are very excited about our future.

But you might say: almost all AIESEC countries are growing. That is true, but we are growing fast even by AIESEC standards.

Quality membership has let us climb the exchange performance ladders. In 2010, we were placed 30th globally. We jumped to 21st in 2011, and recently to 14th in 2012. In fact, considering the current MC term growth, out of the top 40 of the network from last year, we are the fastest growing entity at 110% in total X (where the top 15 average was 21%). At this pace, we aim to break the top 8 next year…. Or, who knows? Maybe more.

In addition, the socio-economic environment is very attractive for AIESEC in Mexico’s growth. The bright economic forecast of the country really excites me. As a leading power in Latin America, Mexico is rising steadily in the global playground as a top player. Forget about that image of a troublesome Mexico that media portrays, this country is really rocking it!

And it’s precisely for this reason that we cannot settle, we cannot stop. A “good” team is not enough. The selection process that is explained in this booklet has been designed to find a balanced, high performing team made of specialists, that works in sync; passionate and devoted AIESECers that can amass a following and lead them to epic success. Highly motivated, emotionally intelligent, hungry leaders are required. We’re looking for the best talent our global network offers. Are you up to the challenge?

The best choice you could make.

In return, the MC Mexico offer as an experience is up to the stakes. I believe the Mexican MC is one of the most comfortable and valuable MCs in the network. We’re financially solid, so MC salary is guaranteed, punctual and way above sufficiency. To give you an idea, the 11-12 team managed well, and our12-13 team just had a 43% raise! Furthermore, our alumni network gives amazing support and is very well positioned in business and government, so if it goes about connections, here’s the place to be.

We will celebrate our 50th anniversary in April 2013, so we’ll be bursting with celebration with highly engaged alumni.

The diversity and culture of our country will captivate anybody, our membership is welcoming to foreign MC members, and the lifestyle MC Mexico involves is full of amusement, travel and learning. We live in one the hippest zones of all Latin America, in the vibrant Mexico City, the largest urban settlement outside Asia. Just imagine the fun that 6 LCs in the city mean: this is for sure one of the locations with most AIESECers, alumni and trainees in the world! Don’t speak Spanish? Mexican AIESECers have a good English level: our conferences, material and communications in English. Besides, Spanish is the second most spoken language globally, and Mexico is the right place to learn it, as it is the largest Spanish-speaking country out there.

If you’re considering an MC opportunity, whatever countries you are contemplating, no matter if you’re Mexican or foreign, Spanish-speaker or not, there no reason why you shouldn’t think of Mexico. So, if you’re reading this booklet, you’re exploring the right choice, because with all certainty, this will be a story of success. Welcome to the process.

2013-2014 first round MCVP elects:  Daniel Vrenner, MCVP ER  Jimmer Alba, MCVP OD  Juan José Perezsiete, MCVP iGCDP

All MCVP positions are full time (~50 hours per week). Manager positions are part time (~25 hours per week), though MC roles are results-based, not hourly remunerated. Differences in expectations and benefits are explained ahead.

oGCDP

IV.- BENEFITS AND FINANCIALS Provided for Managers (part-time) • SALARY  2,500 MXN monthly. Always punctual.  Easily covers daily transportation to the office and meals for the whole week, and allows for other expenses.

• MEALS  All MC members have either one (reaaaally awesome) full buffet meal chef-prepared provided in the office building with a different main course each day, or a paid meal in a nearby restaurant on working days. It does make a difference in lifestyle.

• CONFERENCES  All part-time and full-time members are expected to attend relevant national/regional conferences with their fee and transportation covered by the MC. We have 6 national conferences a year. 4 are attended by all MCs. • TRAVEL EXPENSES  When doing LC coaching visits, all expenses will be covered (except for dinner and breakfast). Depending on your profile you’ll be allocated to one, two or three LCs within or outside Mexico City. This is a great opportunity to see the country.  Often, LCs pay for MC members to attend local events, so additional travel happens.

Provided for MCVPs (full-time) • SALARY  5,000 MXN monthly. Always punctual.  With this you are expected to cover breakfast and dinner on working days and weekend meals. Buying and cooking, you could eat for 25 MXN in Mexico City, potentially saving 3,300 MXN/month for expenses besides food (16 meals/week).  “Other expenses” involve going out, personal items and travel.

Traveling in the country on the weekends is a common thing.

Acapulco, Los Cabos, Guanajuato, Puebla… endless options are in the menu. The current MC team’s girls went to Cancun for a week already and we’re headed to a Team Vacation to Cuba in May (we personally cover this).  Transportation is no problem, we walk 20 minutes from the flat to the office. Public transportation is super cheap.

• HOUSING - Living expenses that the MC covers:  Rent of MC flat  All utilities (gas, internet, phone, electricity, taxes, etc.)  Bottled water and coffee in the MC flat and in the office  All basic home & cleaning supplies • One “international experience” covered by the MC (fee and flight)  This is either an Xpro, IC (if selected) or other AIESEC conference abroad. Opportunities outside AIESEC that represent personal development can be considered too. ** Aside a different salary, full-times receive the benefits part-times have.

V.- MC LIFESTYLE The MC Flat (Location) • Located in Zona Rosa, next to Condesa and Roma neighborhoods.

Best there is for young professionals. Being 20 minutes walking from the office, it’s a nice and healthy walk to wake up in the morning.

• It has 4 bedrooms, 2 large TVs with cable, 20 mbps internet, and 3 full bathrooms (including 1 bathtub), a fully equipped kitchen, 2 fridges, new mattresses, laundry room with washing and drying machines, nice living and dining rooms, and a killer view.

• We have people over often, with 6 LCs in DF and being in the area with most trainees. There are AIESEC parties every weekend.

The MC Office (Location) • Haruo Kano, Mexican Alumnus, hosts us since 2004. We have a fully equipped office, with any supply needed there. We have one large room on the third floor that can host up to 10 people. Home office will be an option for the next term, rotating among MC members.

• During Spring 2013 it will be refurnished and remodeled. Nice, huh?

• Street food around the office is legen- - -dary.

Questionnaire Guidelines

MCVP Marketing

 The number of questions is small, and questions are general. So, make an effort to go into depth. That’s why there’s no limit to the length of the application or the answers. Still, be straight to the point.  For each set, there’s a question in bold underlined font, make sure that answer makes you stand out.  Avoid phrases that are vacuous like “increasing capacity”, “generating strategies”, “improving the systems” or the like. Be specific and detailed.  Good grammar and spelling are indeed fundamental; do not waste time in design.  All questions can be also answered with drawings, tables, diagrams, graphs… you’re free to do so. Text alone (but good text) can be enough for the most part though.  You can always contact aldo.perez@aiesec.net for clarification.

 Assess the current website and submit a proposal to make it more engaging, same with social media. What info is missing?  List 10 specific real events where AIESEC should or could have been present to increase exchange and explain how they would increase our performance.  Why haven’t we approached national mass media?
