Hi!
I’m very interesed in AIESEC’s programs, but I’ve had a really hard time getting into contact with anyone.
I’ve submitted my application online (several times), but I’ve yet to receive any response. Maybe it’s because we don’t have a branch at my school, but as far as I can tell, this shouldn’t matter.
Any tips for how to get in the door? Thanks!
