Networking and holiday spirit ~ Week 23

Dear readers, 

It is on this cold winter morning that I am writing this Blog entry. Winter has definitely settled in New England even though some of you may think that it is still Fall but I think that temperature below 0° make it winter. Some of you might wonder what I visited with my godmother 2 weeks ago when she was visiting, and I have to say we visited Boston entirely, North End, Revere Beach, Downtown Boston, Faneuil Hall, Boston Harbour, Prudential Centre, etc.... Was really enjoyable to rediscover this amazing city at a different time of the year.  

The past two weeks have been challenging on a personal and professional level as it is the final stretch before heading back to Europe for the holidays and finishing all projects due before Christmas. (I am heading home in just a week, and not a weekend trip to New York!! 🙌 , and I have to admit that I am really excited about it!) However, before these exciting moments work is still a priority and full of opportunities. 

Over the past couple of weeks, I have been completing long-term projects but also starting new ones that brought me a step closer to home as I have been doing some economic/ industry exploration in France. This project was an opportunity for me to show my knowledge of a specific region and also give advice from past experiences. Those projects give me the opportunity to demonstrate deep and focused knowledge and understanding. This shows my ability to transfer information in an effective manner.

I have been taking some opportunities to meet with more faculty member to discuss my experience at Northeastern and what it meant for the future. This leading to further thoughts on doing a master upon graduation of my undergraduate, it is a lot of things to think about and a lot more than I first thought. I have also been meeting with a career null to discuss my CV and my future so I will be re-building my CV over the next few weeks.

This coming week is my last before heading home, so my workload is fairly important, so I will wrap up this entry now and I will speak to you next week as I will be waiting at the airport.

Have a lovely week and enjoy the snow.

Until next time! Alexandra
