Why they chose us?

Sergiu Voicu (former trainee), now Senior Execution Officer:

“The Internship in COFCO International Romania was from the start a challenge. This was my 4th and final internship and I could feel from the start the opportunity that I had in my hands and that I needed to take full advantage and make it something real. This company’s growth is sky rocketing at the moment, basically being the place where you want to be as you will be a part of the “pilots” that will lead this “rocket” to success, and you will be there with it.

At the beginning I was overwhelmed by the huge amount of information and I thought that I will not last a week here, but I did not want to give up yet. With the help of wonderful people, I managed to organize this big data blunder into concrete pieces of information, and I am still doing it after almost 2 years here. This is what I love the most: you will never, ever, say “That’s it, I have nothing else left to learn, time to move on”, because you always encounter something new, and you will advance in your career without even noticing. Nothing will come by itself, I had to prove that I am able to do everything as good as everyone else, this was my creed and until now, it was a good state of mind considering that I have passed the 6 months internship, and almost 1 and a half years afterword I am still here, piloting this awesome, fast moving business.“

Snejana Hodoba, Regional Execution Manager:

"It’s a special place to work and I wouldn’t trade the culture here for anywhere else. The work is always changing and I have to apply different skills, so I learn something new every day.
