Advice and Questions for new person here
Hi! Im portuguese! It seems there are not many portuguese working for the European Instituions. I have a couple of questions since I always dreamed of working for the EU, and few years ago I have given up (thinking everything is nepotism, like in my country). So:
1- I have a degree in law, another in Political Science and post graduation in European Studies. Im a portuguese lawyer. My language skills are upper intermediate in English, 3 years of French, 3 of German, 1 of Italian and 6 months Chinese. Is my CV worth giving a try, again?
2- Should I improve more both english and french? to what level? and thinking for what job type inside EUI?
3-Is age a problem? Up to what age is not a problem?
4- Is it easier to get a good job if I know people working there?
Thanks!
