He liked it so much that at the end of his course in June he registered
for a second course in Alpha to start in October 2007.
When he came
back, Alessandro was determined to continue improving his English in
order to find a job in Dublin. In addition to his classes, he
regularly attended our free work-finding-skills sessions and talked a
lot with Jean-Paul, our Corporate Programmes Manager. “Jean-Paul was
great. He helped me a lot and gave me advice on how to write my CV,
where to look for a job offer on the Internet and he gave me a list of
websites and companies in Dublin.”
Thanks to his efforts and to
Jean-Paul’s advice, Alessandro got a part-time temporary job in Dublin,
but he continued looking for a full-time position. He was about to
return to Italy for Christmas when he got a call from a recruitment
agency for an interview in an IT firm in Dublin. Two interviews and a
series of tests later, he was offered a position in the company. He
could then head off to visit his family for Christmas with a wonderful
piece of news – in 2008 he would start his job in the Dublin branch of
a hugely successful multinational present in 49 other countries.
“My experience in Alpha College was a really good one”, Alessandro
told me on his last day. It was great to have you here Alessandro and
we wish you the best of luck for your new start in Dublin!!
