Potential Problems

Be very clear since the beginning in the expectations allignment meeting, the EP must know that the searching needs to be focused on the focus countries, and the EP is not supposed to be searching in just one city because if its like this the exchange realization will take more time or will never come.

EPs that only apply for one city or country:

AIESEC has big, medium and small partners, the EP needs to understand that if he/she wants to apply for big partners , the profile needs to be really high, (this includes working experiece, 3 languages, AIESEC experience and a master degree in some cases) this is why if the EP doesnt have a very competitive profile they need to understand that they should not apply for this kind of internships. (Be careful in the selling of Global Talent program and the application of global partners, also because the selection process takes around 2 months.)

EPs that only apply for big companies and are looking for high salaries:

Potential Problems

Verify how the EP is aplpying, sending emails, and also how the EP is preparing for the interviews. Look for the feedback of the TN managers to see how to improve the mistakes.

EPs that apparently are doing very well the process but they are not getting matched.

If the EP is not replying to emails they must know that they are not fulfilling their obligations with AIESEC, try to make sure that the EP read the contract as soon as the EP s raised.

EPs that dont reply to emails.

Remember that EP problems need to be solved following the correct guideline, always try to ask for advice from the VP, NST, NCB or MC and always follow the XPP.

EPs with problems with countries or the company.
