“I was still a student last year, but today I am pursuing a career.”

Louis Boval

You attended Ghent University as a student. How did it go?

​​​​​​​My university has left a lasting impression on me. My favorite aspect of the student life was the rigorous group work that allowed me to develop both hard and soft skills. I also enjoyed investing time in my Student Association (Vek). I was in the student council, and sure, it was a very hectic time in my life. During my senior year, I already started to look for a job that would fit me. I met Sofico during the Vek Career Day. They contacted me later and made me a good offer.

COVID-19 threw a spanner in the works? 

Yes, unfortunately! Although I am in regular contact with our customers in France and soon, I will travel to Paris. Software for automotive finance and leasing is an exciting market and I haven’t been bored for a second this last year. I’m glad we are able to return to the office though.  

Had you heard of Sofico before?

Yes, from the Sofico Gent Marathon. I intend to run the entire 42 kilometers in March 2022. Sofico is committed to creating a healthy working environment (both practically and metaphorically), and I am surprised that they organize such a large event.

What advice would you give to this year's alumni for their job-hunt?

Apply for a job with Sofico, of course! (laughs). No, seriously? Take care of your CV and show your dedication. Make a professional impression and highlight your experience from extracurricular activities. There is always place for self-motivated individuals!
