Maximiliano Schnettler emphasizes that “we are interested in professionals who have integrity. There is a value that is fundamental for us and that has to do with concern and respect.

Finally, the representative of AngloAmerican remembers how important it is that young people “dare to apply, that they are proactive in looking for options for different programs. Both in our company and in many others there are programs, versions that should try to search, find out, request information. I believe that this greatly influences the opportunities that one creates along the way. If I could give you some advice, it is to stay restless searching, learning and being able to get where you want to go.”
