Can you tell us something about your Trainee experience in the US?
It really was the best experience of my professional and personal life. I've grown at least ten years in one! I have no doubt it was the best thing I ever done to myself. I've met thousand people and made really great friends. I've learned to deal with new situations, improved my English and Spanish, because I used to live in South Florida, and there are many Latin people there. I could travel few times, and meet awesome places. The most interesting thing is the American way of life, their culture, I've seen with my two eyes, that everything those movies show, is true... yes, every single stuff happens so fast, and you better watch them.
 
What are you doing professionally today or what did you accomplish after your return from the US and how did your Trainee experience help you in achieving that?
After I came back home I kept my hospitality carrier and got a job in a famous and huge corporation. It was a little easy because of my resume and professional experience attached there. Of course the trainee program was essential part of this conquest. The best companies to work believe that an abroad work experience is a great differential when hiring employees, so today I’m working for one of the best places to work in Brazil (it says an expert magazine).
 
What personal note would you have for possible Trainee candidates?
People let me give an advice… do not waste your time dreaming… work is the word to be successful, so release your dreams, go and have the most interesting experience of your life, it’s really worth, of course I recommend it!!!

Can you tell us something about your Trainee experience in the US?
This experience is hard to describe because... there are so many things I've learned during all those months... But I guess the most important thing is that you realize how strong you are, and how you can deal with any situation in life.
 
What are you doing professionally today or what did you accomplish after your return from the US and how did your Trainee experience help you in achieving that?
I am still in the US so I can only answer that the most important thing for my career is without a doubt the fluency in English. Additionally, there are personal skills that just someone who actually had the experience of living abroad could have learned.
 
What personal note would you have for possible Trainee candidates?
Take your chance for this EXTRAORDINARY experience. Is too much more than just learn English... It's a journey about getting stronger and to know yourself...

The Trainee Program is the only way that we have to learn, daily, different cultures, people, languages and even ourselves better.
If you think you’re brave, self-confident enough, do it.
If not, do it anyways.
All The bests!!!

It’s not just work, but you will have time for fun and travel, so enjoy it.
