VMU Career Centre Chief Coordinator Orinta Petrovaitė

Having graduated with a degree in Psychology, my professional journey began with a HR recruitment agency, where I collaborated with various companies and candidates. Exploring opportunities further, I ventured into the tech industry, broadening my understanding of organizational dynamics and career progression.

Throughout my professional path, I have been curious about the clues to a successful career. While there may not be a 100% efficient formula, my experience with companies and candidates has shown certain foundational principles essential for navigating the ever-evolving landscape of careers.

I am thrilled to share these insights and strategies at the upcoming workshop. Join me as we discuss the keys to build a resilient and fulfilling career path you dream of!

VMU International Cooperation and Marketing Department Senior Specialist Ganna Tron

I spent three years working on the international education website Unistudy, where I hosted over 30 webinars covering topics such as motivational letters, recommendations, and cover letters. Through these webinars, I assisted countless future applicants in accurately describing their achievements and previous experiences. During my tenure from 2019 to 2021, I gained extensive experience in consulting on motivational letters for various purposes, including university applications, scholarships, volunteering, and job-seeking endeavors. Currently, I am employed at the International Cooperation Department, Marketing Unit in VMU.

I have been a guest speaker at various events discussing the job-searching process and strategies in both Ukraine and Lithuania: “Get a job in Lithuania: how?”, “My Career 2022: What Does the Employer Expect?” and others. I am eager to share my knowledge and experiences with you.
