INTERNeX Canada: Pub Night Review

How can I write a review for our last pub night? Mmm… c o m p l i c a t e d! Ok, I will do two different versions of yesterday night!

The official version

Yesterday a lot of people showed up! We had a large table and another smaller for ourselves! Even if we were a really international team, yesterday was the special Swedish night! They were the most popular nationality, but we can’t forget the Danish representation, Dutch, Germans, Brazilian, Australian, Canadian and Spanish!

The New Oxford pub was a really nice place to hang out. There was some kind of club downstairs with a band playing in live! That’s the reason why the guys spent some time downstairs and not all together in the bathroom, that was what we though in the beginning haha

There were some specials cocktails and Hanna chose the worst one I am pretty sure! If you mix a cream, shampoo, a salad and I guess some alcohol you will get something similar to that one! Jesus! Absolutely awful! Haha but it was just the beginning, the rest of the cocktails were mmm!

Also important to remind that it was the last pub night for Johannes and Hanna…. Germans we will miss you! But you leave a good representation here with Yannick 😉 It was nice to have you during this time and we will miss you for sure!

After a couple of drinks together at the pub, some of us decided to continue the party at Joes Apartment in Granville Street…mm dancing, singing, chatting… so much fun!

The unofficial version

It was an absolutely blast, one of the longest pub night ever, but one of the funniest as well. I am super tired right now, so probably my grammar will be even worse than usual, but it really worth it. It was fun, crazy, you are nuts and I really enjoyed your company! Even for the unofficial version, there are some details that are better to keep in private, right? But if you want to know, just join us in our next pub night! Easy!

Cheers,

Irene

Hi from Houtan!

So you might be wondering who this fine young gentleman is?! Well this is Houtan and some of you  might not have met him before because has been out of the office for a little while. Currently, Houtan is working out of Toronto but will be back in the office in the next few months so here is a quick introduction to a new face (for some of you at least) and check out baby Nala in the picture…too cute!

What is your name?
Houtan

Where are you from?
Tehran, Iran

What languages do you speak fluently other than English?
Russian. I can also communicate in Ukrainian and Arabic and a bit of German, and of course Persian my mother tongue

What position do you hold at INTERNeX? and for how long?
Good question, I have no idea what one would call my position or anyone else’s position for that matter at INTERNeX International Exchange..funny thing is that part of our job is to try and envision what working in a Canadian company would be like to most people who are about to work within a Canadian organization through one of our programs. Yet we work in a company that demonstrates and represents a Canadian organization based on employees from different parts of the world who wear different hats on a daily basis to provide excellence in service. That is why I can’t really tell you what my position is. (does this make sense?) I think Im just blabbing on again, but hey that’s me!! Lol And I have been working at INTERNeX just over 2 years and they have been  full of excitement

What made you want to get involved with INTERNeX in the first place?
Like minded people, think alike…well, I’ve had quite a background in travelling from A to B (never enough though), learning about visas, after finishing up school and getting involved with Canadian Resorts and the hospitality industry, it all seemed like a good match with what INTERNeX had to offer, so there I was getting started and here I am still rocking it

In what ways do you think INTERNeX is unique from other international placement agencies? What does INTERNeX offer that no other company can?
Aside from the fact of how thorough our service is and its not even comparable to any other agency, it’s also that we don’t think our programs are for everyone. The participant needs to understand the purpose of the program before being forced to be a part of it. Our honesty in delivering the service is a key in managing expectations

What changes have you personally noticed within INTERNeX?
I have noticed a number of little programs come and go, but the city placement program was a great success and it still is both in Vancouver and recently in Toronto. We also now have more representatives abroad, an official office in New Zealand, and a more so active presence in Toronto, ON

Where would you like to see INTERNeX in the next 10 years? Do you have any New Year’s goals for the company?
I truly believe that the possibilities are endless. Obviously I, along with the rest of the team, would like to see a world wide network of services provided by INTERNeX offices across the world. Now the services provided by INTERNeX within the next 10 years is what I would like to see continue on its journey to completion and perfection so that one day we’d be a tool for anyone from anywhere in the world that would like to take a trip to any part of the world for the purpose of work experience and/or self development

Tell us one interesting thing about yourself that not a lot of people know?
As a kid I always wanted to become a vet

If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be and why?
It is really hard to answer this question, I love travelling and I don’t think I can settle anywhere for too long. I like what Toronto has to offer as a city, yet Vancouver’s geographical location is much more attractive than Toronto. On the other hand, Kiev Ukraine is one of the most beautiful cities I have ever lived in due to its historical background and remarkable architecture. But again, the grass is always greener on the other side, so we’ll keep on moving
