My Week Was So Full and Exhausting!

This weekend is so tiring. My entire weekdays were spent so usefully and efficiently. That is why I have not made much time for my blogs but I think it is not a big interval since I last posted. With my part time job and ongoing hunt for a permanent one, I have been called for an Interview in Amsterdam! That is quite far from here or an hour of travel in a fast train and almost a €20 fair for a return trip within the day.

That is where I got my Interview.. in that building... Crystal Tower, Sloterdijk, Amsterdam

I just want to note that I did one interview this week. I made an application online Wednesday night for two positions and I got a return call from both of these applications. One, I got last Thursday and we scheduled the Interview the following day. The interview went very well, we talked for an hour. And then, another agency called me Friday and the Interview could not fit by Monday's schedule since I am only available in the mornings and I will go to AMsterdam again on Tuesday! Maybe that time I can explore the city and share here with you!

THE INTERVIEW FRIDAY
I love being interviewed honestly. Well, I can say that I have the confidence of a fly over the horse or something but I can't just shake it off! I love talking! I love interacting. So if I asked one, I tend to expand, expand, expand, and tell stories.. And I also interview the interviewer back and we had a great time! That was funny but we both need to have it an hour only because we both need time.. My interviewer, needs to make a presentation of my profile and present them to the "real" employer. I, on the other hand, need to hurry back to where I came from, take my lunch and run to my current work.

I Took a photo right beside the Sloterdijk station and I realized winter will be here so soon.. Look at the leaves of the trees, all gone!..

SOME THINGS WORTH NOTING
I need to review on SAP R3. I have ase with softwares and computers and internet and that is something starnge for a lady/woman/girl (or whatever people can call me as long as it is not as a man). SAP is so required these days and I donìt have any idea what made this brand superior over its competitors. Well, I just don't know. ALl I know is, there are other in the markets such as BAAn, JD Edwards, Orachle, People Soft and maybe more and others even merged to be stronger but SAP is just so danr good to be superior maybe. I see them in many requirements. Anyway, I don't have any difficulties with any of these ERPs coz they sound so simple to me but I will need to review on the latest stuffs. I strted last night but I am just darn tired! Sooo tired, exhausted, drained!

Another thing to note, is my Dutch! Well, I am in the second level out of 10 level to speak and write. My languages, as Italian, I learned alone. In fact I have been talking to an Italian yesterday and he tlold me I quite have achieved something with my Italian though I learned alonea nd I stayed in Italy for 8 months only. ANd now I am inspired. I also talk in the train with a woman who sat beside me, conversing with me in Dutch! I am here for three months! And no language school! Hahah!

Waiting sadly inside the station because I could not explore the city... I needed to run back home and prepare for another appointment..


The funny thing is, I always tell people I don't speak Dutch in Dutch language... "Ik spreek geen Netherlands." I always note and they always continue the conversation because I just spoke the language! And I answer in Dutch again! Hahahah... Isn't that funny? But on the serious note, I need more...more...more practce and learning. I need someone to talk to in Dutch and I need to read and practice more. I understand a little too because languages are not that complicated if one tries to see the roots... The difficult part is on the grammatics...
