I got a job, I Got a job, I got THE job!

Incredibly how fast things can happen when they at last start to…

All this time I didn’t turn to the contracting companies because I was waiting for Amadeus to take me directly. And they said they would, if only they were hiring, if only they knew how much people they needed, if only they knew where to send my cv. It has been a long time, almost six months. But finally I got a no from them. They didn’t want me. Ok, I told all my friends and prepared myself to send out my cv to the contracting companies. But there was one other opportunity, which was to go in product definition in Amadeus. I was accepted to come for interviews, but when they took over two weeks for just getting me a time for those interviews (in fact there had been a misscommunication in who was supposed to do that… not the first misscommunication I had to deal with, rather the fourth or fifth) I decided to send out the cv anyways.

Less than two weeks ago I started to send out the cv and the contracting companies responded directly. I got lots of interviews. The whole last week I went to Sophia seveal times and even for an interview in Monaco, which felt really far if I’d have to go there each day.

In the end of last week there was a fight between GFI and Astek. I was so close to sign for GFI, I really liked the way I felt welcome there, but in the end I decided to go for Astek. I signed on the thursday, same day as our concert, and allready on the friday I had an interview for Astek with Amadeus. It was for a position as developer in java, which is exactly what I wanted all the time, but couldn’t get earlier since they were not hiring people just until two weeks ago in this department.

Amadeus called back Astek 40 minutes later and said “Yes, we want her, she can start in two weeks”. That’s what I call a good midsommarafton!

Today is the first day of my new life, I’m getting payed! I’m not outside of the society anymore!

The first thing I will buy is a nice bike. It takes about 25 minutes in the forest to go from here to Amadeus. Perfect.

A happy Tess!
