Former PMs: get inspired!

David Godoy, Senior Project Manager I have been living and working in Brussels from September until March as Senior Project Manager of JADE Spring Meeting 2015. Without any doubt, I can say that it has been the most difficult challenge in my short life.

However, I had the great luck to meet an amazing international team and live with great people in an entrepreneurial environment!

If you are a University Student with the aim to achieve new goals and open your mind to new concepts, improve your skills (communication, English...), go out of your comfort area, meet international people in the capital of Europe... do not hesitate to apply for JADE!! Besides, you will begin as a kid and you will finish your period of time in Brussels as a man.

It will not be easy, it will not be funny, it will not be short, but it will change yourself forever.

Where to work?

Working remotely and living in Bruxelles

Living in JADE HQ Brussels is an old European city with lovely parks andsecret little streets. You can find a wide variety of cultural activities and many international people. The HQ in Brussels, the capital of Europe, helps JADE to be closer to the European Institutions and some other international Headquarters of companies, which support our Network. The geographic location makes travelling around Europe really easy.

As a Project Manager, some position come with moving to Brussels, work and live in JADE HQ. The House has one floor with offices and the rest of the floors are set up for living (bedrooms, bathrooms, living room, kitchen etc.). During the stay in JADE HQ, the Team members have to share the space with other people, who also work and live there (ExBo, Assistants or other Project Managers), as well as with guests from the Network.

The work of JADE Team is voluntary, so unpaid.

We are trying to keep the costs of staying in JADE HQ low as you will only need to pay 2â‚Ź per day for your stay, and get access to all the accommodation/offices/food.

Working remotely If you are not able to come and live in Brussels, for certain positions, staying with us in JADE HQ is not mandatory and you can work from your home country while keeping studying or working.

Obviously, you are more than welcome to join JADE’s Events and JADE House whenever you whish!

Although, you will be part of the Team just as any other PM, and by such we expect from you the same level of reactivity and commitment.

Project Managers working remotely are allowed to be committed in their JE’s Board, but not in their National Confederation Board.
