1. How would you describe your committee in three words and why?
I would describe my committee as ambitious, diverse and creative. The committee is made up of people from all different backgrounds, ages and interests. One of the things we do all have in common is that we enjoy working on our network and focusing on our future. In addition, my committee always comes up with very creative ideas for companies to approach. It is always very fun to see them come up with proposals that I would never have thought of myself!
2. What are some examples of Career activities?
We really organize a lot of activities during the year. These are mostly activities organized in cooperation with a partner. Think of company visits and workshops, but also something like a (free) pizza party with a company. The Career is also involved in the organization of the TSHD Career Days.
3. What is it like to be commissioner of the Web Committee?
It’s a very special and educational experience. I’ve gained a lot of new insights into the ins and outs of companies and have gotten to know a lot of new people. Although there have been many shifts within the committee and we’re all very busy, the atmosphere within the committee is always very good and we’ve managed to get a lot done. For example, we’ve gained multiple partners with the committee. I’m very proud of this!
4. Which activity do you most look forward to?
Personally, I’m very much looking forward to the TSHD Career Days. This is the biggest activity of the year and consists of not one, but two days this year! They promise to be two days filled with interesting presentations and workshops and I’m very curious to see how these days will turn out.
5. How is this Career Committee different than the one from last year?
To be honest, I can’t really mention many concrete points. Last year, I was the commissioner of the Sports & Games Committee and this is something very different from the Career. Because of this, I didn’t work very closely with last year’s Career. However, this made it extra fun for me to be so active with this year’s Career!
6. What are your goals for the committee?
At the beginning of the year, the goal was to close as many new partnerships with companies as possible. However, we had done this so well that we have now shifted our focus to approaching companies for our Flow Member Card. We’re actively approaching companies, hoping that we can get discounts for the members of Flow at as many places in Tilburg as possible. Be sure to check out the website to see where you can already get discounts at the moment!
7. If you didn’t have to consider time or money, what would you want to organize?
What I think would be really cool is a company visit to the headquarters of a tech giant abroad like Google. I’m very curious to see what Google’s headquarters looks like and how things work there. I think this would be a very interesting and fun experience!
