MCVP 15.16 Application Booklet
Dear potential candidate,
AIESEC in Costa RIca
If you reach this point it means that you are brave enough for being looking for opportunities that take you out of your comfort zone. And this is what AIESEC in Costa Rica needs right now, brave persons that make the country get out from the stage where we are and make the organization move from good to Pura Vida. I can’t explain the feeling that I have because I’m opening the applications for the people that will work with me for one year to achieve together the vision I have for AIESEC in my beloved country. Three years ago I decided to join AIESEC in Costa Rica and back those days I never thought that one day I would be envision to create a new generation of people that understand and dare to do more for the country and for the world. I wish you the best of luck during the process and I would ask you to be yourself, be honest and give your best. Remember you were not born to be perfect, you were born to be yourself.
