Hi! My name is Stijn and I currently work as a Business Development Consultant for Oracle in Dublin since November 2010. I’m originally from Belgium and I graduated last year from
the Vlerick Leuven Gent Management School. In many ways you could say I’m living
the life I asked for: an international career with global organization. I’m unbelievably grateful however, because opportunities like this don’t come by
the dozen. Actually, going through university and business school my dreams of an international career were clouded quite quickly. Following all
the ‘right’ steps wasn’t enough.
The lack of offers for, and trust in, new starters to take on a challenge like this was a reality check for me and many of my friends. It takes a company that recognizes
the opportunity of recruiting talented individuals by offering them something they actually want: a first job based abroad! My job is focused on generating demand for Oracle products over
the phone. In only a few months,
the amazing things I’ve experienced,
the people I’ve talked to,
the learning experiences I’ve had in and outside of work are too many to list. From having CEO’s on
the phone, to having meetings with 15 different nationalities, to getting settled from scratch in a new country… it’s something that builds you as a person. But don’t be fooled though, it’s on you - where it starts. Although Oracle gives you
the best training and resources to do your job and Ireland is a playground for everything else, it’s you that is responsible. You are in control and much is expected. What you get in return however, is beyond incredible. If you are interested in joining
the same team as Stijn, please visit http://campus.oracle.com or contact
