A lot of responsibilities will require you to synergize with other members on the team and will require you to be flexible in your work.


5. I am very interested in applying to the CC team, but the dates are just not suitable to me. Can I join the team a week/month later, or can I take a day/week/month off in the middle, to attend university/unfinished work/friend’s bachelor party? You would have understood the sense of urgency, and the need to start work as soon as possible. Due to this, it will be difficult to accommodate anyone into the team much later than June 25th, 2015. Likewise, it will be extremely difficult for you to fulfill your responsibilities if you take time off in the middle. Moreover, this will affect the rest of the entire team, because of the inter-dependent nature of operations. However, if there is a genuine concern it can be raised during the interview process. Feel free to post any other questions that you have to singh.gaurav@aiesec.net
