"I have always wanted a job with a purpose – to make society a little bit better. And a healthy society starts with information you can trust.

Working at Eurostat allows me to contribute to the public interest and provide the reliable data that our policymakers – and all of us – depend on. Even before I worked here, my friends and I used to send each other Eurostat infographics if we wanted to prove a point, so it’s great to be at the source now.

Plus, it’s an interesting, appreciative, and multicultural workplace!

I came to Eurostat through the Generalist/Graduate competition, after first working as a trainee for the EU agency for energy regulation in Ljubljana. Work at Eurostat is very varied: we have a lot of contact with other Directorates-General (DGs)of the Commission, but we also work closely with Member States. I personally work with data on digitalisation and internet use, which is such a fast-changing topic that it always keeps me on my toes.

As Eurostat’s Youth Correspondent, I also have a special interest in ensuring that our work reflects the needs and perspectives of the younger generation. We are all working together to shape the EU of tomorrow – if you want to be a part of it, check out the EPSO website and apply!"
