Back to Amsterdam I go!
Well yesterday, I received two phone calls. One was for an interview today at one for a restaurant on the main road that rests between the station and the Dam Square, which I am eagerly awaiting my time to leave. The other was with a job agency wanting to have a phone interview with me, to assess my CV and me and see what it is they can do for me. The agency specializes in individuals who don’t speak Dutch. Abroad Experience, Undutchables, xpatjobs.com and a few others that specialize in expats looking for work. When I received the call the woman spoke to me in English; she started the conversation in that language. This is definitely a plus in my eyes! Therefore, my ventures in Amsterdam have landed me an interview!
I sit here in anticipation! My eagerness to work is causing me to jump out of my own skin. My need to work evident in everyday activities; we live in a world where two incomes are needed, it doesn’t matter where you live. Dutchie has co-workers looking around and seeing if there is anyone they know that can help; truly kind people they are! Yet it ultimately rests on me. Plugging my CV everywhere I can, going on interviews and talking to people on the telephone and walking the streets of Amsterdam with a handful of CV’s is something I have to do to get a job. I have no issues with this, any of this. Well, I should say the only issue I have is how long this process can take!
Wish me luck today! I am dressed for success and ready to land this job!
