3 months and still going strong

I really hope I'm not yapping for nothing BUT... I think I'm on my way to something great! This whole recruiting process is nerve wracking but exciting at the same time and I feel really confident. Thinking about the interview on Wednesday I feel like it couldn't have gone better and everything that I've done up to this point in my life has prepared me for this. I have the 2 environmental degrees and I have a LOT of experience with international students both from Tampere and from Montclair and obviously I have been one myself. I have my english language skills working for me as well. And in a weird way being in Forssa makes me a little bit more confident as well. Don't really know why but it does.

The fact that they said that I came second in the other job hunt and the Manager of that place being part of this one as well gives me even more confidence. I got a long great with both of the interviewers and I feel like I was able to bring out "me" if that makes any sense. I have been feeling really good about the interview but there is one more step. The self assessment test, which was sent to me this morning which means I'm in the top 3. Which makes me even more confident, it re-inforces my feeling that the interview was a success. But now the test...uh huh...It did say there are no right or wrong answers and to just pick the  first one that comes from your instincts... I believe there was 20 questions and each had 4 options and you were supposed to pick the word that most describes you and the word that least describes you and based on my answers they can tell if I can fit in with the work community or not. Can you imagine if I did really well on the interview only for the test to say that I can't work with them? OYG!

I felt so good about the interview that I bet with Elviira and Marianne that I will get it. If I do, I owe them beers...which I would buy them anyway since that would mean that I have money on my account! If I don't get this, it just means that my situation isn't really improving. And it continues to be their jobs to keep me hydrated! LOL! just kidding...

It would be really great if I could get this job because I have 13 euros on my account right now and 190 euros worth of unpaid bills! Social services denied my request so I am kinda screwed. Good times. According to them paying your loan interests, credit card, dental care, cell phone and internet bills are NOT necessary and therefore are not counted towards my expenses. I have been able to avoid marks on my credit information so far but it's not looking that bright right now. And we don't even talk about food because there's just no money for it. Gotta go copy my bills so that I can complain about the decision.

Happy happy joy joy to all!
Later
