Unlocking Brussels' hidden job market

Since 2007, key2advance has been guiding students and young professionals to make the right career choices.

We noticed that those who reached out to professionals for information had more realistic expectations and were more likely to find a fulfilling position.

Now we would like to offer that experience to job seekers interested in the European/International affairs sector with this website.

Our team, with the help of University of Kent (Brussels) student volunteers, has spent the last year and a half reaching out to our networks. We reached out to over 150 professionals in Brussels and asked the same questions about their jobs.

Find out what they said.
