The flat was in a halls of residence that I shared with five other students (four were German). Six rooms, one common kitchen and two bathrooms. Very modern building, about twenty minutes from the city centre by metro, but far from the main campus. Wireless Internet connection available, laundry room. three minutes from the metro stop.

To work in a challenging, growth oriented, technological environment and to work with professional, reputable, resilience and technological advanced organization is my dream. Because this improves my capability of flexibility, creativity, responsiveness, commitment and to work in a team environment.
So if I will get the chance to work as Network Officer/Software Support Officer in your organization, it will not only assist the company to increase the business efficiently but will also give me the chance to work according to my nature.

It helps to stay really organized and plan out your expenses well in advance. Give yourself a week or two after the program to travel around the country on your own.
