Soaked for business

Jump to Comments

What good is a suit, if you are wet through and through? It was raining so heavily that I was really worried about my looks. Fortunately I always have an umbrella with me, the suit seemed to repel water somehow, and since I was twenty minutes early, I could rearrange myself properly in the foyer.

Truth to be told, I have never been taken so seriously — and I mean seriously — as a professional. Even if I don’t get a job, I got many exceedingly useful pieces of advice for career-building and some really good remarks on my cv. They did provide me some interestingly-looking perspectives, too — now they just estimated me, but in the next weeks they may even find me some actual offer.

On the whole, it was a really interesting week — although I was turned down from a data controller position at Diageo, I got only much better offers this week. Now I only regret that it seemed a really nice and value-oriented multinational company. It is still a bit strange to me that the team leader could refuse me on the basis that the job is not good enough for me, while I definitely thought and stated otherwise. I didn’t think it was her right to decide, but it’s not my problem any more. After this week I definitely feel that I will eventually find something interesting to do.
