What will you be doing?

All YBL Scholarships are built under the three pillars of life. You will travel while developing multiple competencies based on your own growth as well as the YourBestLife’s three main pillars:

Passion | Social Impact | Life Career

Adventure awaits you.
Here are some examples of activities that you will be doing:

Who are we looking for?

A group of three adventurous souls and outdoor lovers.
You can choose any two people (friends, family, partner, etc.) to bring with you.

They just need to be a member of YourBestLife Community and be at least 18 years old.

We will be looking and evaluating a group as one ID. You can be present in up to three different groups. In each group, we are looking for one truly adventurous person, one outdoors-lover and one person who is open-minded and round out a great team. Each profile should complement the others. We value friendship, experience, adventurousness and a great sense of teamwork.

Do you know two other people who would join you in this adventure?

YES—TAKE US IN!

UNTIL END OF APR 20’

APPLICATIONS

Groups

First things first. To be eligible you must be present in at least one group. You can form or be in up to three groups of three people (including yourself). Friends, family or partner, you choose! Just form a team with those who you’d want to share this amazing experience with.
To create a group, you should go to the community platform where you will find a section to include the email of your two friends and invite them. They will then receive an email with the invitation, which they need to accept. Once they accept your invitation, the group status will change from pending to joined and you’re set to go!

Personality Test

The first test is focused on your personality, so there are no right or wrong answers—only you and your answers! Composed of multiple-choice statements, this test will provide a comprehensive and detailed assessment of your personality, and once completed, you will receive a report passing along what we’ve learned about you from your answers. But what exactly do we mean by “personality”? Basically, your personality is the unique way you act, think, feel, and interact with the world. This test doesn’t measure your skills or interests, but your habits and tendencies that influence the way you work and interact with others.

*This phase will be connected with the other YBL Scholarships, so you only have to do it once.

Profile Match

Together with Randstad Services in Portugal, we will review all the personality tests, cross-check our criteria with your answers, and choose the candidates who will pass to the second phase based on the profiles we are looking for.

MAY 20’

SELECTION PROCESS

in collaboration with
Randstad Services in Portugal

Persona technical
questionnaire

Based on the results of the first test, the next phase will be composed of questions to evaluate specific characteristics we are looking for. Remember, a group of three adventurous souls will be selected for this Outdoor-Adventure Summer Course.

Motivational open
questions

If you are among the most suitable candidates, you will be asked to answer up to three open-answer questions. You’ll also need to upload your CV and fill up our portfolio template for your relevant work.

Group video interviews

After going through the open-answer questions individually, it’s now time to join forces with your group. Each group will be evaluated as one ID. We’ll set up a video interview to learn more about your group as a team. Background questions, problem-solving challenges, and role-playing scenarios will be part of these interviews. Bring your best casual self and a great sense of team to the camera.
After these interviews, we will select the final group who will get three weeks of breathtaking sights and excitement in the Azores.
