DDL 31 OCT - Paid Internship in the World Bank

[Rosen Dimov]

Dear friends,

Some of you might be aware of this unique chance, but I will share it with the rest. If you remember the committed team of the WB that organised the Brussels Forum on 26-28 May 2010, you will certainly be curious to get an insight from the work in this intergovernmntal organisation.

There are internship opportunities for a minimum of 4 weeks and the next application deadline is 31 October. Please hurry up and do not miss this opportunity! I am sure it will add more weight in your application if you mention that your involvement in WB-organised events has ignited your inspiration to apply. Perhaps at the next forum some of you might even share experience attained at their internship.

GOOD LUCK! Distribute it all around yourselves.

Regards,

Rosen
