\u201cTowards the end of my degree, I realised I wanted to work in Rotterdam. I\u2019ve moved house so many times in the last few years that I want to get settled for a little while. I graduated from my master degree in Media and Business last June. A former colleague at the International Office, where I worked as a student assistant during my degree, told me that a job was available at the Rotterdam International Film Festival. The position of Front-end and Content Specialist struck me as being very interesting, so I applied for the job and was hired.<\/p>\n\n\t
