Job hunting-part II

Resumes, motivation letters, interviews, applications, introductionary telephone calls etc. etc. etc.... This is my life nowadays. I know many of you are facing the same situation or going to be soon. Here are some insights.

For me it was hard to find a job role that combines my competences (sales-related) with my ambitions (corporate comm/PR). I found two very different paths in FMCG and Banking. Both would provide me with a considerable learning curve and ample room for personal development. However selling food/beer/detergents is very different from financial products.

Then there are also jobs which would bring me directly to my goal, like AIESEC traineeships. I found a lot of AIESEC traineeships to lack quality and job descriptions are not very diverse. However, some offer very good prospects.

Conclusions?? None yet.
I have a telephone interview tomorrow for a traineeship, two meetings with recruitment agencies later in the week, 2 introductionary calls with Dutch banks, one possible JD at another Ducth multinational and that is about it for now.

We will see what happens next, I will keep u updated at least.
