1. MC Life in Czech Republic

2. Term
July 1st 2012 – June 30th 2013 (The Czech MC works full time. Part-time jobs
are not supported).
The standard Transition happens from last week of May until last week of
June.
Transition dates might still vary and will be defined concretely once the MC
selected.
The new elected MC is strongly encouraged to be present at SprinCo (a
planning conference) that takes place on 12 - 15th April 2012. You will be
encouraged to apply as faci, and the fee and part of transportation will be
covered.

3. Hours
A minimum of 8 working hours on working days (Monday to Friday). Weekends
are free except for events (International and National Conferences, Presidents
and Functional Meetings, etc.)
Salary
Approximately 270 Euros per month (approximately 6500 Czech crowns). Menu
in the students canteen is around 40 CZK - where you have soup, 2nd meal and
tea. Salary is enough for good living conditions and savings. You will also receive
corporate mobile phone.
Travel
LC visits and national conferences travel costs are reimbursed. The local
transportation - a monthly ticket (for subway) is around 260 CK for students and
paid from your salary.

4. Accommodation
The MC lives together in one MC flat,. Next MC might change the MC flat. The
accommodation is free of cost. During transition accommodation will be
covered for the MC elect.
MC Office
Comfortable working conditions with a personal desk, chair, LAN & 24 hour
internet connection. The MC office is 5 minutes walk from the metro station &
city center.
The team was expected to be at the office from 10 am this year. Next years team
might have a different working style (i.e., being more flexible or rigid on the start
time)
Weekends are technically free, but you will have to decide how to best arrange
your time, which might require working on the weekend. Apart from the regular
national holidays, weekends & the Christmas and Easter break, this year we were
allowed to take 21 working days off.

6. Personal Financing:
The salary, as mentioned before, is enough to live on (aprox.6500 CZK)
Depending on your lifestyle, it is even possible to save. Internationals will need to
pay for the flight ticket to Czech Republic, and you will need some money initially
during the transition month.
The accommodation costs and the transport to national conferences is taken care
of by the MC. International conference costs (IC and Expro) are also covered by
the MC.
Depending on the budget and the revenues for the MC 13.14, the MCP will
decide the amount of members going at IC. Last year, MC OGX, GCDPic, GIPic
and TM + OD were present in Russia.
EuroExpro in Turkey is covered for all the MC members.

7. Language:
So suprise, suprise: the language spoken everywhere is Czech, with some
variations of Slovak, which will all sound the same to you anyway =)
However, the language is not a barrier in Czech Republic. Since Prague is a
relatively large and multi-cultural city with a heavy influx of tourists.
Czech MC has a culture of taking internationals onto the MC.
Due to this reason, everyone on the MC is aware of, and open to, communication
in English.
Conferences, meetings and visits are all held in English. All the members of
AIESEC in the Czech Republic are accustomed to having an international MC
member around, which makes it relatively easier for the international to adapt.
