General Description
The Front Office interns will be the interface between the International Students and ESN Lisboa at our office, while being always ambassadors to the association at any moment. The intern will help the association with its day-to-day Administrative/Logistic tasks and can optionally help in the organization of events.
In the period of most movement (Welcome Weeks - mid-August until mid-October or mid-January until mid-March) the interns' major duty will be to exclusively perform administrative tasks at the office and represent ESN Lisboa in Welcome Days in the Universities or at Partners Events/Locales (Such as Study In Lisbon Lounge from Lisbon Municipality). There is a maximum flow of incoming students in that period therefore additional Human Resources for logistic/administrative work are required.
