Taking my talents to ze ClutchfaNz boardZ to try and find an internship might be a long shot, but i've seen what this community is capable of. I'm going to try and sum this up pretty quickly to avoid a long-read. Basically I've been living in Belgium for the past 10 years but was born and raised in Houston. Some of you might have stumbled-upon my "Clutchfans! Help me correct my cover-letter!" thread, and thanks to you guys I was able to secure an internship position in a top Fortune 500 company this summer! However, i'd like to boost my CV even more by finding an internship during the first quarter of 2013. Precisely i'm available from Feb. 1st to the end of April. These past years trying to find work i've quickly came to realize the importance of networking and 'connections'. The "who your daddy knows" statement has never been more important. Which is ironic given the fact that the human race has never been so interconnected. So I take to the amazing community of Clutchfans to help me once again. The first question people ask me most of the time is "In what field do you want to work for?". And this is always the toughest question I have to answer because i'm interested in so many different fields that it's nearly impossible for me to list all of them without forgetting some. However, i'll try to get a couple down. Like most of us here I love sports. Extreme sports (who wouldn't want to work for Redbull?), 'traditional sports', etc. I'm really enjoying kite-boarding and wakesurfing at the moment (Slingshot please hire me!). I'm also what some would call a 'tech freak'. I love everything that evolves around technology (btw i've been fortunate enough to be part of the team that will organise next year's biggest TEDx event here in Belgium). I've been bit hard by the Sillicon Valley bug and i'm actively helping out a friend who is launching his start-up at the moment. I'm infatuated by what I call 'creativity'. Music, design (interior, architecture, web-design), video-making, fashion (clothing, sneakers, etc), cinematography, etc. I'm a fellow Hypebeaster. For those of you who know Levi Maestro, he is a big inspiration. I'd love to be able to build a plane, and the next morning go to work in a music studio or design a hoodie. I guess that the corporate-world version of creativity would be Marketing. Which I wouldn't mind checking out either (my internship position in the Fortune 500 position this summer is in fact in Marketing). Finally, I love finance. Since i've been 17 years old i've been fascinated by the markets and everything around them (yes, I'd love to be a trader). This seems pretty vast (almost child-like) but i'm so happy being passionate about so many different fields when I see friends struggling to even give one department they would like to work for. Where do I want to work? Almost anywhere. I'm open to most countries and places around the world. I love travelling. Now to my qualifications; I'm currently in my 3rd year at the best belgian university in my field (studying Business Administration at the Université catholique de Louvain). Next year i'll have to choose between a bunch of different Masters degree's, and hopefully these internships will help me decide. I've done a bunch of jobs and have a lot more qualifications but all of that is already in my CV which I can send out if necessary. I'm very able to write a cover letter if its necessary. So, if you guys here anything, or know anything, please, think of me! Thanks
