Support beyond the application
María Addez explains that tight deadlines made her application process demanding. In that context, she thanks the team and particularly Candela for being there over several months. She also highlights what happened after receiving her visa: she continued to get answers, help relating to work and contacts for meeting people. Her review focuses on that ongoing relationship.
“She still helps me with questions, with work, and shares contacts so I can meet people”

Building your network, step by step
María’s experience invites you to think about the people and resources you can turn to. These editorial suggestions can help organise that network.
- Prepare a brief introduction.
Explain your experience, what you are looking for and how to contact you. Tailoring it to each conversation helps others understand your goal.
- Understand different kinds of support.
A contact, some guidance and a job offer are different things. Note who can help with each topic and what follow-up you need.
- Combine meetings and follow-up.
Explore community activities and revisit useful conversations. A network grows through contact and exchange.
