Nós na Global Career Company, adoramos ouvir histórias de sucesso no seguimento dos nossos Fóruns de Recrutamento. Numa viagem recente a Angola, Ana Quinas, uma das nossas consultores de recrutamento internacional, visitou os escritórios da MultiChoice. Durante esta visita, ela teve oportunidade de conhecer pessoalmente a Maria João Abreu, a nova Marketing Manager da empresa.

A Maria João Abreu participou no Fórum Careers in Africa em Lisboa em 2008, e foi recentemente recrutada pela MultiChoice através dos serviços de headhunting da Global Career Company. Nós aproveitámos esta ocasião e colocámos-lhe algumas questões.

Maria attended a Careers in Africa Summit in Lisbon in 2008, and then was headhunted last year to take a position with Multichoice. We asked her about her experience.
