Next Stop: Riga (Latvia)

Riga

Finally, Riga capital of Latvia will be my next home. Why? Because I applied for a trainee position in Latvia and I have it! I work in Riga during 3 months like software developer.

Where is Riga?


How I get the position Trainee?
I applied using the Programme Becas Faro (www.becasfaro.net). "The Becas FARO programme, which is implemented within the framework of the Leonardo da Vinci programme led by the European Commission, offers students studying their final degree courses in Spanish Universities the possibility of carrying out a period of work experience in a European company."

How was the process?

1. Fill all the forms by internet
2. I received an email of a new offer
3. I applied for this offer
4. The company contacted me by phone, and they sent me a task to do
5. I made the task and they checked
6. They accept me into the company!

Thank to the blog of Salma (Las penas y alegrías de una erasmus en Riga), where I found a lot of useful information about Riga and Latvia. Unfortunately, the blog is in Spanish. So it is time to improve your Spanish ;-) !
