Three ME3 generations in touch!

Dear ME3 network,

After two or more years of trying to get every ME3er in contact, we are close to making it!

In the last week, we have managed to link the 3 googlegroup accounts that each generation created to keep in touch amongst themselves and all posts from the ME3 Blog are now sent to the 2009, 2010 and 2011 generations!

For now, every post in this blog will be sent to your inbox through the googlegroup account. I realize this might seem 'spamish' to some of you (and we will try to figure out a way to start filtering posts by type) but it is a way to be updated on what is going on in the ME3 community.

I would like to invite you all to collaborate in this initiative by:

1. Posting comments: anyone can comment in any of the posts - if you believe you entry is worth of being a post by itself, send it to ME3 master blog and we will post it ASAP.

NOTE: only collaborators can post in the blog. Access is restricted to avoid non-ME3 people to post spam or other stuff.

2. Becoming a collaborator: as of today, there are only two ME3 2010 collaborators in the blog. If you want to post in the blog and have an active role, you are more than welcome! We would like to have at least 1 collaborator from each generation.

3. There are two initiatives 'cooking' in the networking project:

     a. Entrepreneurship: how to start a forum on ME3 entrepreneurship? The three generations have entrepreneurs that could benefit by sharing experiences and we are all enthusiastic about supporting their projects, so what would be the best way to create synergies?

     b. ME3 Know-how: who we are, what we do, what we would like to do... Our added-value lies on the immense know-how we possess. Not only a job posting network, but knowing who does what allows us to have in mind what we can do as a network.
Often in our work lives, we meet people who are looking for a specialist in .... and expert in.... the ME3 Know-how will allow us to quickly search for this knowledge and 'pass it over' to whoever needs it.


For now the idea is to link the ME3 LinkedIn group with all the member profiles in order to be able search by key word and find the right candidate, but we are open for ideas and volunteers.

This, by the way, is the 2011's company business model (www.daisglobal.com ), only we have a non-profit approach. ;)

Keep in touch!

Internship search ME3/PM3E 2011

Dear ME3 Alumni,

Remember how a year ago we began our internship search?
Remember how in the middle of a global economic crisis, we struggled to find an internship and thought that if we had a strong ME3/PM3E network, it would be much easier?

Well now it's the time for the next generation of ME3ers to start looking for an internship and I thought it would be a good idea to start a blog post on do's and don't's for the internship search.

Here are a few starting points I suggest, but feel free to comment on whatever you think might be useful, including internship offers or maybe getting an ME3er to replace you!

a. How to start looking - tips on how you started your search.
b. How to 'nail an interview' - tips on how your interview went.
c. How to find a place in a new country/city - the German experience? the Paris experience? The Kenya experience? How about the Mauritius experience!!!
d. The experience in a big company/research institute/small company/NGO/starting company....

I hope to hear from all of you soon!

And remember, " 'doing something about it' is the best way to complain" - ME3er @ Tribunal 2008, or was it ME3er @ Bouffay 2009?
