Good luck Sarah and please tell us what kind of job it is if you have succeeded!!! If you want of course!!

@Auryte: Have a nice time in Freiburg..I've never been there. Maybe you can also find something at www.hrs.de. But I guess this site is well known isn't it?

[sarah]

Thanks girls! Sure i want to tell, i just feel like i shouldn't tell too many people yet as somehow it would jinx it
In the mean time i also found another great position i want to apply to, see luckily this isn't the only good opportunity for me right now

Great to hear that in other places, there are still opportunities. Our newspaper is always empty...

I'm happy because we know since today that our apprentice passed her final exams

newspapers??? i never look in them, only online! and then 'my kind of jobs' aren't even on the common job sites but just on the sites of the companies themselves...

And you know what? the job interview went really well...so well that they called me an hour after i left to invite me for a 2nd interview next week! 
Ok, now i dare to tell...it's a job at the press, information and culture department of the Swedish embassy in the Hague It's only for a year to replace the current person doing it who's going on maternity leave (for a year! i love the swedish system!!!), but it's such a great opportunity anyways.
My oh my i'm so hyped right now

Wow, that sounds cool. Hope this person will have another baby so it'll turn into two years.

In Germany, you can stay at home for 3 years (because we have way too little daycare options under the age of 3). But you only get money for one so you better be married. When you are a single parent, you can apply for social welfare (which is not enough to make it through the month).

All the best wishes from me, sarah

Fingers are crossed

Wow that is cool!! Good luck!!! Maybe I should try to find a job at a swedish embassy too...I would ask them for some asylum first I'm afraid.

Happy Midsommar !!

It´s been a while but let me update those interested about the job at the swedish embassy...after a lot of hassle i actually GOT THE JOB!

BUT...by now there´s also another job i´m applying for that i actually want more. never thought that would happen but it´s true.
I have my 2nd job interview there this tuesday and the swedish embassy is willing to wait until after that
So it seems i´m in a luxury position now, with the embassy job as my back-up in case the other job is going to someone else.

The other job is at Kilroy by the way, a Scandinavian student travel agency who also has a Kilroy Education (helping students who want to study abroad) in most Nordic countries and they now want to set one up in NL and I want to become the one to do that!

Wish me luck!

[little-miss-sorrow]

Wow Sarah! That sounds great!!

Ähm, and if you don't want it, could I get the job at the swedish embassy?

[Kerstin]

That's really a luxury problem you have right now, sarah. Wish I also were in such a positon...

Lots of luck to you

[roxgirl_germany]

Wow, I envy you... Good luck!!!

[sarah]

Thanks girls!!!

And LMS; sure you could get the embassy jobb...though how good is your dutch?
