Next Steps in AIESEC :)
A wonderful thing from AIESEC is the Platform of Oppotunities.... but also sometimes is a nightmare... yes, because you have a lot of opportunites at the same time and you need to choose one, but you don't know wich one, because all of them looks really good, and of course, they are... so... what to do???
Ok, this is my perspective, I will share it because it might help to some AIESECer in the world :) is all about GOALS ;)
I'll focus on some facts.... (i'm focusing in leadership opportunites)
International MC is a wonderfull experience, and will help you to have a different vision of the world, even to develop some skill that you might not notice; also can help you to improve other language and is usually necesary if you want to stand for positions as MCP, GN or AI, but mostly for AI.
National MCVP, is a challenging experience, if you want to see your country in a better way in the future, and also being part of that growth, this is for you, it will help you if you want to stand for MCP in your country or MCVP in other country.
MCP, this is one of the most beautifull experience in AIESEC, because you are the strategic leader and ambassador of your country, you need to be aware that you need to have a clear vision of you country in the coming years, and how to get there... logn term vision is a must, sustainability as well... is also hard but the best experience you can have... the experience is important, but even more is the competencies for the position... and the proud for you country... and if you wanted, go for it, but alwats keep in mind, that everything is for you country and not for you... but importan (and this is a personal thought), if you run for MCP, is because you need to stand later for AI, GN Board, Global Coordinator, or a really nice traineeship... i mean, you invested your time for one more year, so why to stay there, go on and you might discover something that you never saw before.
Now always focus in what is your personal vision, remember that AIESEC is platform for your personal and professional development, also remember that for you AIESEC doesn't last forever.. is a youth organization and some day you will need to became alumni and work in a company, create your own one, or finish your master or phd degree, some day you will need to say to AIESEC "thank you for everything, now i have to continue with my professional life"... always remember how AIESEC will help you to your GOALS.... but also more important, remember how your work in AIESEC will support the organizational goals ;) al the time has to be a WIN - WIN situation between AIESEC and YOU ;)
I can not share all my opinion in this post, but always I'm open to talk, chat, mail, with everyone :P there are some experience that should be shared... and also for both sides... AIESEC is wonderull and I'm very gratefull with my organization.
I wish you luck in your next step in AIESEC ;)
