Well, hello, hello, everyone, and welcome to EU Untangled, the podcast where we unravel EU politics

and policies. My name is Victor Aguilar and Alex Roth is here with me. You want to say hi, Alex?

Hello. So we're very happy to be back after a long winter break that lasted more than a winter and hopefully this time around

we'll be able to be a bit more often with you guys today we're going to be talking about

how to land yourself a job in the European Union now just a here. The fact that you listen to this podcast

does not mean that you'll be able to land yourself a job in the EU. What we're going to do is try

to explain what it means to work in the EU, how you can find the right information in order to

know how to apply for a job within one of the European Union institutions and what to do next.

And for that, we have an amazing guest with us today.

Her name is Kiara Bellani, and she comes from Italy.

She's been in Brussels for a while, and I let her introduce herself.

But before that, just a quick remark.

Kiara is joining and speaking with us in a personal

capacity, not on behalf of the European Commission. This means that nothing of what she says

can represent to reflect the official opinion reviews of the European Commission.

Kiara, welcome to the show. Thank you, Victor. Hello, everyone. Hi, Alex. Yeah, thank you so much for the invitation

today. It is really a pleasure for me. And the reason why I actually accepted this invitation is

because I would have loved to have a podcast or listen or read anything of the sort when I was trying to get a job in the institutions.

So I'm very happy to try to unfold and tangle a little bit the maze of landing a job in the EU

institutions.

Yeah, my name is Kiara, I'm from Italy, as Victor said, and I've been in Brussels for over nine

years. I work in the European, and I've been in Brussels for over nine years.
