I know I haven't take good care of my blog since a long time. These time I rarely to read the comments and respond them. Here I apologise to the friends who has left kind comments.
My purpose to write the blog is to practice my English. Since I came to Germany, I found there are too many things I need to learn-to learn how to walk on the street; to learn to sort the garbage; to learn driving; to learn German and to look for a job. At the time of the past one year's living in Germany was the time to refresh myself. It wasn't easy but it is a normal transition period for everyone who moves abroad.
I have set up many works for me to finish so that I don't feel boring. For example, I force myself everyday to study German( every day to write a German letter to Martin, to read the updated news and translate them, to read some other German articles and to do homework from the school)and look for jobs(everyday to send 3 resumes). I just made my time full everyday so that I don't let my self give up in the special period and in the new environment.
The progress of job searching has made me sometimes kind of depressed, especially when I keep receiving rejections from recruitment companies. I thought I will be like many of the other students in my German class to work as a cleaning lady. I doubted myself, and I studied German very hard, but I didn't see so much progress. The pressure I gave to myself helps me not to think too much and to fulfil my time, but sometimes makes me stressed out. Then I didn't have so much energy to take care of my blog, to keep practicing my English.
Luckily, I found a job half month ago. It is a job I have dreamed for a long time. After Martin's support and a long period interviewing process, finally, in the end of April I received a positive feedback from the company. I will start to work in August. Another good news is one week ago I received an offer from a research company work as a freelance for a small project that concerning Chinese market.
Now I will be able to write more posts and answer the comments in time, as recently I am much more relaxed and I have putted down some burdens of German study.
Ling Ling, I'm very glad you got the kind of job you have been looking for.
ReplyDeleteIt's a good way to get more involved in German life. I think you will enjoy many things to be learned here.
Also glad you are thinking about answering on your weblog. It means a lot to people, and is also an interesting conversation.
Best regards,
Clive

Well done, the job market in Germany is not that flexible, but you took your chance.
ReplyDeleteThe education system in Germany is one of the reasons. The majority is learning one profession for about 2 or 3 years (There are hundreds of it). And then often you have to stick with it.
Thank you all for coming back.
ReplyDeleteJens： through the process of searching for the job, it helped me to learn the job market in Germany. Maybe I will write a post later about what I see and how I felt from the searching experience.
What will be your duties in your new position starting in August?
ReplyDeleteI will be working as a flight attendant.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes,
Lingling
Surprise!
ReplyDeleteJust noticed what you will be doing, Ling Ling.
ReplyDeleteActually, that sounds it can be a very interesting job for you, for this time. Maybe it will mean some nice things also for you and Martin.
Best,
Clive
