Since I announced that I'm claiming my life back, which was sometime last week, I got a call this morning inviting me to an interview on Thursday in Helsinki. If this really works, and lets all hope that it does, I'm getting this job!!! You heard it here first unless I already called you...
It's for a company that was established in February and they are in the compressed air system business. What that means exactly, I'm not sure, but I will be studying to find out all day tomorrow! Today I have plans... They are looking for a project manager to manage an international team blah blah blah and travel! I'm all for managing and traveling! I'll be much wiser on Thursday but you'll gonna have to wait because I'll be seeing a long lost friend afterwards so I won't be home till sometime Friday.
The unemployment agency will pay for my travel expenses so I went to fill out the application and then met up with a case worker. As long as I get the interviewer to sign my papers, there should be no problems. I also asked her if they pay my travel expenses if I go to a recruiting fair in Turku next week that I saw on their website. I was going through their job postings for abroad and there was one employer that was gonna be at this fair. She said that it sounds like a great idea, to be pro active and go to a place where there is tens of possible employers and that if I can get one of them sign my paper (I need to apply for it again) it shouldn't be a problem. But she needed to ask her boss to make sure.
Fast forward few hours and she calls me...It can be done as long as I have a particular employer in mind and will fill out the form WITH THE EMPLOYERS NAME IN IT BEFOREHAND. Since I only know that one company that is participating and wasn't really looking to go work for them...it makes it a little difficult. Once again their bureaucracy is coming in between what I want to do and what their rules say...
But, to make things interesting, I am from now on going to try to participate in every recruiting fair possible in the Southern Finland region, find out which companies are going, make the unemployment agency pay and SEE MY FRIENDS as well! I'm seeing Iita on Thursday and staying overnight and next Wednesday I'm having dinner/lunch/drinks/something with my friend Nina in Turku. I'm getting that form signed and they will pay for my social life! They made me wait 2 months before I can apply for unemployment benefits so the least they can do is pay for my social life...eerrrr, travel expenses!
Now we come to the interesting part. Since most of my clothes are in USA, my nice jacket and shoes included, I had to call Elviira and ask her if she can lend me a jacket. My sporty jackets don't really go with my suit! Also, I need to buy shoes...converse and sneakers are probably not suitable with my outfit. I was looking at these heels today but I might have to go back to the store and wear my pants to see if they go together. Or maybe Elviira will be able to lend me those too.
Well anyway...paistaa se aurinko risukasaankin joskus!
Later
