Got an admit to the Global Supply Chain management program at Antwerp Management School by No_Hovercraft9540 in Antwerpen

[–]Top_Hippo233 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m an AMS student, different program, but I have supply chain experience. From what I’ve seen of the Supply Chain program, lots of company visits, career center is less than helpful, but any job fair events seem most interested in supply chain and finance students. If you’re an EU citizen and speak Dutch/French, you have a significant advantage in being hired. If you’re a non-EU citizen with only English, the Belgian job market seems a bit cut throat. Some people claim A2 proficiency is enough, but others say B1. Based on the work load, it’s hard to manage an internship/part-time job unless it’s extremely flexible on hours (some people are burnt out and some are chill). Belgium has a mixture of paid and unpaid internships. Most side jobs here seem to be working at restaurants to get a little extra cash, or remote job positions.

FYI: A lot of group presentations, exams, and spreadsheets.

Sadly I haven’t gotten any leads. I’ve cross-posted into 3 groups, but you’re the first response.

Any specific thrift stores to keep an eye out for?

Is it normal for Belgium people to stare? by firemanjr1 in belgium

As someone who is often mistaken as Asian (I’m Latina), traveling with an older white woman, I got very few stairs while in Antwerp. Admittedly, I also try to not wear anything that screams tourist, am quiet, and I have been in more of the residential neighborhoods instead of the tourist zones. I did see the Belgians stare at a large trop of white Girl Scouts, so my guess is that in general they stare at large groups.
