Hello Everybody,

I’m Jihane, and I’m an Erasmus student who had the chance to get an internship as an IT trainer in Cologne Germany this year.

My journey was very productive and rich. I learned some useful skills that can help me advance in my career and enlarge my experience.

Working in another environment helped me to start seeing everything from different perspectives and be open minded as much as I can. It is a good opportunity to get out of your comfort zone and develop both professional and personal characteristics in an interesting and a fun way.

I will try to sum up my experience in the upcoming lines:

First, I had the chance to see three cities (Cologne, Düsseldorf  & Bonn ). These cities are incredibly beautiful. There are so many places to visit; museums, castles, monuments... and much more worth to be explored. In addition, it is a good opportunity to discover the local and the street food out there. Everything seen, will help you get an idea about their culture and much fun stories to share with your friends later.

Second, i will talk about my internship in Talanx. I’ve learned more about java programming and Java Server faces. It was a great chance to see how work is done in a real project. Moreover, i learned some attitude to have when working in a professional atmosphere inside a big company as Talanx.

Fortunately, i had the chance to be mentioned in an article in Talanx web page, where they talked about practitioners that come from Spain. No need to guess so hard dear friends... it was me :D

Finally, i shouldn’t forget about German classes. I had so much fun learning this language. Even the teacher and the students were so friendly that the whole atmosphere was very funny.

Overall, it is such a good opportunity to LEARN, DISCOVER, and SEE new things and explore a completely new world. You should just keep on mind to be responsible and well organized in order to get the best of everything.

Best wishes,
