Professional English – career advantages

Anastasiia Fliahina, IV year student, spaciality “International Economic Relations + BBA”, winner of Business English Competition. Successful education was the key to employment in a company with the foreign capital.

“I was lucky to have an internship in PM-International, to be more precise – in Ukrainian subsidiary of this firm.

I can say for sure that I got extremely valuable experience, learnt about functioning of a big enterprise, as well as gained precious experience of interpersonal communication with colleagues and supervisors. 

It is worth mentioning that Ukrainian-American Concordia University – the one I study in – played a crucial role in me being accepted for internship and being able to succeed during it. 

The main reason for that is knowledge of the English language. As all studies in the university are conducted exclusively in English, for me it was easy to answer a phone in English, understand an email or write one myself – all thanks to practice during lectures. 

To sum up, I am happy for having such internship experience and grateful for UACU for making this possible.”
