Diana: Hi Chris! Karen told me that you know someone from AIESEC
Chris: Hello Diana! Good to hear from you!
Chris: Not only I know someone from AIESEC, but I'm working with them myself :) How can I help you? Are interested in one of the projects?
Diana: Great! Thanks for replying so quickly :)
Diana: I was browsing your website and looking for different opportunities. I am particularly interested in Asia and Northern America, my only problem is that I don't speak other language than English
Chris: Ok, it doesn't necessarily mean that you won't be eligible to participate in projects in other countries. Especially in Asia we have a lot of opportunities for people who would like to teach English
Diana: That's great news! Won't it be a problem that I'm not a teacher? I don't have any experience
Chris: It all depends on what you would like to do, are you interested in being a volunteer or in something paid?
Diana: I'm interested in travelling that's for sure, so I really want to go somewhere. If you have something that will allow me to get paid for my work and will be in line with my experience, that'd be absolutely wonderful.
Diana: I'm open for being a volunteer as well - the only problem's that I may not be able to afford to pay for the accommodation.
Chris: Most of the organisations we're cooperating with cover the cost of the accommodation of our volunteers. You usually pay for a plane ticket and food. Certain organisations offer pocket money
Diana: Yes, I saw one really interesting offer from Japan. They're looking for someone who could teach English in high school, although they listed some nationalities - didn't mention British, quite surprising in my opinion. Does it mean that I can't apply?
Chris: Could you please send me a link? We have a lot offers and it'd be easier for me to advice you if I know the offer
Diana: Sure <file_other>
Chris: Thanks!
Chris: Okay, so, I think in this case it shouldn’t be a problem. You may not be regarded as a preferred candidate, but I don’t think that you’re not eligible. Also, if you’re really interested, I’ll gladly contact the organisers and ask if they are interested in your profile.
Diana: That would be amazing! Thank you Chris!
Chris: If this one doesn’t work out, and please, be aware that we’re in touch with people all over the world so it may happen that you won’t get the job you applied for, are you interested in another position?
Diana: I think I’ll be happy to participate in any project in Japan (as a volunteer or not), unless it’s related to computers, IT, technology, etc. as I have absolutely no clue about that stuff
Chris: And what about North America? You mentioned that you may be interested in this as well
Diana: Yes, I think it’s pretty much the same as with Japan. I’m not too keen on being a teacher at a camp, but everything other than that would be great
Chris: Got it! I will look for something suitable. May you send me your CV?
Diana: <file_other>
Chris: Thanks! If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask :)
Diana: Thank you! I really appreciate your help Chris. The whole idea is brilliant, but I admit it’s a bit overwhelming and confusing especially as you’re new to the whole thing
Chris: No worries, I've heard that a lot and we're doing everything we can to facilitate the process and make it more user friendly
Chris: We also highly recommend everyone to visit us in one of our offices, so if you live in London, I'll be happy to meet you
Diana: Perfect!
Chris is working with the AIESEC. Diana is interested in AIESEC's projects in Asia and Northern America. She sent Chris an offer in which they are looking for an English teacher in high school in Japan. Chris will contact the organisers on behalf of Diana and will let her know what their answer is.
