General Questionnaire
This part is comprised of 5 questions and your answers should not be longer than 5 pages in
minimum font size 10.
1. Why have you decided to stand for AIESEC Romania? What will be your contribution to
the MC team and what do you expect to learn from the experience?
This is a dream that came up to my mind from my first year of AIESEC.
For me it`s a choice to be involved in something great for my country, to be responsible for
hundreds of life experiences that AIESEC Romania offers to Romanian youth, to be responsible enough to
transmit this feeling to the people I work with.
It`s a chance to develop myself professionally and personally.
In terms of contribution to the MC team:
personally I`m coming with my values that define my road in life: courage and passion.
professionally, I will present my Belbin team role:
“Generally regarded as an individual who is broad in outlook, challenging, competitive, creative,
encouraging of others, imaginative, outgoing, and professionally dedicated.
Has innovative tendencies and needs to work in a mentally challenging environment. Could be
good at solving complex problems or at introducing new ideas.
Quick off the mark in seizing new opportunities.
Dynamic and entrepreneurial.
A developer of new ventures.”
2. Create a proposal for AIESEC Romania 2012-2013 strategy that should cover the next points

4. 3. What is the role of MC? What should be the role of MC? What actions can you take as an MC
team to fill the gap?
My perspective is that the role of the MC should remain the same. I would change the way it
is implemented:
