just got the job ...

twinkle · 05-17-2007, 04:38 AM

As some of you know, I came back home after 3 years in France. In other words, I wanted to be closer to my family and friends and woringin a fast pacing developping Eastern Europe seemed like an interesting decision to make.

However, after 5 months here... well, I've started to have the jitters again - so I applied for an international program. And after a lot of struggle, math tests, assesment centers (they sent me to France for that) and inteviews ... I got the job! I am happy.

I'll be working in Switzerland for an year and then somewhere else - no idea where yet. And... I get to work for one year in my own country too - to start with.

Don't know about the salary yet... but I'm happy. Took a lot of work, but it ended well. I still need to sleep a lot to catch up!

Thank you so much! It meant a lot to me to get it. On Monday I'll get to see the terms of the contract, I'm looking forward to it.

Congratulations Twinkle!

When do you go to switzerland? Any chance of UK for the final year?

It's a wonderful opportunity twinkle. I hope the contract lives up to the rest of it, especially the SHOPPING FUNDS

Meanon, I need HELP! I signed the contract today, I am getting paid an obscene salary for Romania. If I were to compare it, I am getting paid more here than my friends in France!! And it puts a whole lot of pressure on me.

I know I have a big issue with my attention, I think I may suffer of ADHD, but I have never been examined, and most obviously, I am afraid of underperforming. Do you know of any tests that I could take to see if I have this?? Or ways to improve my attention - I don't knozw, exercises, stuff... I really can't mess this job up!

As for UK, I have no idea! I am supposed to go in another market after Switzerland, but I have no idea which one. And, at the end of the program, I am to chose a market according to my skills and to their needs where I am to perform. But all these are unknown variables for the moment!!! When I find something out, I let you know! Something tells me going clubbing with you could be quite an experience

If you just stop thinking of me for a few minutes, I'm sure you'll do fine

Twinkle, your a smart gal and I'm sure you can do anything you set your mind to so no worries.
