IB internship for summer 2023 in Rotterdam or Amsterdam as a master's exhange student
I seek advice on landing an IB internship for summer 2023 in Amsterdam or Rotterdam as a master's exchange student at Rotterdam School of Management. The exchange period lasts from January till June and I figured that I could try to stay there after that for the whole summer with an internship. I plan on taking only relevant courses during my exchange and overall focusing more on the study side.
I study at a Nordic target school relative to Nordics but semi-target relative to London. Major in accounting and minor in finance with an excellent GPA. I have not done any IB internships but I have 2,5yrs of relative work experience in financial statement analysis and credit control + extracurriculars and positions of trust. I speak English and two nordic languages. I can not use the diversity route.
Do I have a shot or is the dutch language a barrier? Are there any locals that could guide me in this endeavor? What would I need to succeed?
I have not heard or found any information that anyone would have done something like this there.
Kempen is your best bet. They recruit non native. Also ING, Rabobank and ABN. All others (aka BB and EB) you’ll need to be a dutch speaker
Ok thank you I will target Kempen, ING, Rabobank and ABN. Do you have any other tips that could help me on the way?
I've been through some intern recruiting in NL too (as a Dutch person though). Wouldn't mind answering any Qs you have in PM!
I got rejected by ING and Van Lanschot Kempen, and ABN didn't even send a reply to the application. My grades are very good (3.86 GPA), what could be the reason that I didn't even get an interview or assessment test?
Are you an EU citizen? I’m assuming you don’t have a Dutch passport?
