And they said like, but we need someone to do it globally and like in Washington DC they are now looking for a person to deal with it, let’s have a conversation with our boss in Washington DC. I just wanted to give them back somehow, and I went to offer them to volunteer and lead that part of the job – “so you can do this, we can tell a story this way”. In parallel, at the beginning, maybe two or three years, I worked as a consultant for the American Council for International Education, since, initially I had free time outside of work and plus, it is an organization through which I went on a trial exchange so I knew people there and I wanted to help them make their appearance on social networks better and for them to talk more about what that program does and how much it means, because I knew how much it meant and helped me. I was in HR for a while, in Communications for a while, and in the end I ran the Corporate Communications Department. Through the “Young Leaders” program, I got a job at Delta Holding and I was there for about five and a half years. Instead of going to a pub to celebrate, for example, which most people go to, that was my response. So when I found a job, I wrote about my job search experience. By the way, I like to share with other people all the experiences I go through and something that was useful to me and that I learned and understood, because maybe it will be useful to someone else. And then I applied for jobs, went to some great interviews – I wrote a blog post about it. And considering that Nis is such a small market and that Serbia is unfortunately centralized, then I started looking for a job in Belgrade due to a combination of circumstances at that moment in time. But then after the end, after I passed those seven exams, I wanted to study further and work, and you can develop as much as the market you belong to is developed. And then I was looking for something to do and to finish that internship in my profession, which was obligatory for me, and so I found a job at a local radio station where I had a wonderful time. I finished Journalism in Nis and after returning from America I worked there on a local radio station because only 3 out of 10 exams were recognized, so I had to pass these 7 later. You have to go and see how much it will change your life and affect what you do and how you behave and observe things afterwards. Because it completely changes the way of thinking, the way of observing things, and there is simply no substitute for experience. Whether it’s for studies, whether it’s for work, whether it’s a “work and travel program” or any other program, but to be longer than the classic week, 10-15 days as long as we go as a tourist. That’s why I keep talking about how I think everyone should go abroad for a while. And those were two things for me – during my studies and growing up – I can say the most important and turning points in my life. Then I also finished my fourth year of college in America through another exchange program that is also funded by the US government. I was born and raised in Nis, I finished my second year of high school in America through an exchange program and a full scholarship funded by the US government. I think it is very important and very nice to share inspirational stories so that other people can see that we all can do whatever we want if we really put time and work and effort into it and that anything is possible. I think that what you do is wonderful, that you bring together women with different experiences who share the story of their experience and their path – career and life. If you wish, you can tell us where have you worked, what title did you hold and then to tell us something about your new endeavour.Īna Brzaković: Yes, thank you for inviting me. Can you tell us something about yourself? Just an introduction so listeners can have some sense of what you have been doing, what is your educational background, where you worked. I think that your career and career path are very interesting. Sanja Milosavljevic: Thank you for accepting to participate in this podcast. Sanja Milosavljevic: Hello Ana, how are you?Īna Brzaković: Hello Sanja, fine, thanks for asking.
