I got a job!

Monday night I was browsing through jobsites and did a random search for the keyword "dutch". One result came out: technical support in a first line helpdesk team.

So I said, what the heck, let's try. So I wrote a letter stating that I had no real experience but that I knew my way around computers. And the next day they called me for an interview. So first I went to the recruitment agency where we had a quick chat and they had set up an interview with their client CSC. So I had a pretty intense interview where I had to troubleshoot computerproblems and do the ol' expectations-motivations talk. Basically they are seeking for Dutch speaking helpdesk agencies working for their European clients. So that means working nightshifts according to European business hours.
And today, I just got a call to say I have the job!! Which is good of course.

But there is also a it of a downside to it: I'm not really interested in helpdesk. And doing nightshifts means I'll be sleeping throughout the day and I won't see T. a lot.
But to the bright side: it's a job! I get a good training, so it's gonna be a brand new experience for me and going to Canada was always gonna be a bit of a leap into the dark. I can't chicken out now, it was always going to be about experiences. And I get to meet new people. And probably the best motivator of all: MONEY!
I'll be doing a probation period for 3 months. So if it's really not my cup of tea, I can always leave. And I can always look for other jobs in the meantime.

Oh, I start on monday, so I'd better enjoy my last days of freedom!
