X

I was thinking a lot about X these days. And about AIESEC.

My conclusion is very simple... in AIESEC you do some things really, really well, but when it comes to the core product of the organization - AIESEC XP - things are really screwed up. Thinking about the people I met in AIESEC, I would say that only 20% of them actually had a qualitative complete AIESEC experience.

How come? Why? Why does this organization focuses so much on numbers and quality is so left behind? Why do you find internships where you should be a receptionist or a travel guide when you are promissed professional and personal development? Why do you have internships where you go to work and you have nothing to do all day long or when your JD is so different from what you are promissed? Why do you promote X as being the coolest experience ever and more than half of the EPs I know were dissatisfied with what they got? True, in such circumstances, you get to be much more tolerant and positive and you gain a lot personally... but why noone tells you the truth about what will happen to you? Oh.. and why people that are in EBs/MCs and think the same way don't just do something to change it?

I'm looking for an answer to these questions...
