FRIENDS AND FAMILY Talk to them about your future plans and the areas you want to develop in. They can give you some valuable pieces of advice, as well as give their support about you intentions.
EB If there are any questions that you don’t have the answer to about the position you want to apply or the experience or responsibilities, don’t hesitate to approach each and every member of the current EB team for talk, advice or if you need help.
