Dear sirs,

I'm a 25 years old Dutch student Business Logistics and through this way I'm looking for a place to do my practical period. The practical period must be at a company with a problem / desired improvement in logistics, which could be translated to an assignment.

My level, compared to international standards, would be college. After my study, which takes 4 years in total, I'll have a bachelor-degree. After the summer I'll be in the third year. The duration of this practical period is app. 5 months and starts either at the end of August or at the end of January. I must choose on short term which it'll be.

To give you a small impression of my education: I've done several projects of eight weeks with a group of two other students. One of these was a project for a real company. We optimized the internal logistics and created a new lay-out planning. The company was very pleased with our solutions and promised they would really implement them. We received an excellent mark for it.

I strongly prefer to do this practical period in a foreign country, because I think it will be good for my development and I'm interested in different cultures.

Of course I have a very small wish-list for this practice. One of my wishes is that the company where I do this practical period provides me with shelter. I also hope that I can do this period in a country or company where the spoken language is either English or Dutch.

I hope you, or someone you know, can help me get an interesting practical period, please help me out and post in this thread.

Thank you,

Rob Groot,

The Netherlands ■
