It’s Friday
already! Where did the time go? One week
ago I started to look for a job on the internet. I have sent my CV/resume to
different Facility Management companies and applied for various assistant jobs
throughout Melbourne. And this week I already had two interviews!
The first
one was on Thursday morning in North Melbourne, actually in the street where
Carly lives, so I knew exactly where to go and found the small building very
easily. I spoke to the two Managing Directors who were very keen to listen to
what I have done in the past. After 40 minutes of talking they would have liked
to take me on immediately but due to my visa I can only work six months for them
and that is too short. They will think about it if they have some project work
for me.
The second
interview I had took place this morning in the CBD. It took a while to find the
right building but then I spoke 30 minutes to the CEO and the Administration
Officer of this Association. They were quite interested as well but they are
not sure what kind of project I could help them with. They will not have a full
time job for me but maybe part-time.
Anyway, I
have the impression that both interviews went very well and I described the
different tasks I have performed over the last years and everyone seemed to
want to get to know more about it. Especially because of my master degree they
contacted me so quickly.
Apart from
the exciting interviews I changed to a hostel in St. Kilda and went to the
beach yesterday evening. It was such a nice sunny and warm day (30 degrees
Celsius) and Beach Volleyball games were taking place. At 9pm I headed to the
St. Kilda pier and this time I was more lucky than the last time I came here
(see here: Melbourne - St. Kilda) because I saw three penguins! And it was not nearly as crowded as
on the weekend.
As you
should not use flashlight to take pictures it was difficult to take a good one
but maybe you can make out the penguins.
Today it is
cloudy, rainy and only 19 degrees Celsius. What a big difference to yesterday!
I do not feel like going outside but I might have to get some food. Maybe it
gets better in the afternoon.
Yours
