Testimonial

Jens Liefting, Commercial Team member, 2019/2020
“The Commercial Team’s main responsibility is creating new partnerships with interesting companies. Through these partnerships, the students of Sefa get to know new companies like start-ups or big corporates. As a member of the Commercial Team, you meet lots of people working at diverse companies, these connections are really valuable when you’re looking for a job or internship later. I joined the Commercial Team because I wanted to develop acquisition skills, get to know lots of companies, and challenge myself with a committee where I get lots of responsibilities. After a year in the Commercial Team, I can say that all my expectations are exceeded! I was able to expand my network, created great new partnerships, and did several projects to optimize the work of the Commercial Officer and Team. Besides the benefits for your career, the commercial Team is also a lot of fun!“
