i AMsterdam, i abn AMro

well it's official...i have just accepted a traineeship offer at ABN AMRO in Amsterdam...starting ASAP

Swiss work permit rejected, EFP choosing not to hire anyone full time, me having friends in Netherlands to stay with, enabling a face to face interview...i am intrigued about the way in which the universe has conspired to bring me this choice and i have chosen it...and it feels really good! after spending 3 hours in the interview on Tuesday i learnt a lot about the HR transformation project i will be working on and i can see i will get the chance to learn many new things as well as contribute my creativity, communication and coaching skills and diversity perspective

big hugs and thanks to everyone for your support in helping me sail on this ocean of opportunities - you definitely stopped me from feeling sea sick! especially to brenda for making me feel so at home here in your apartment in amsterdam

really looking forward to being part of the trainee network here in Amsterdam too and receiving lots of visitors!

hugs
x Zoe

Wha, wha, What?!?!? Zozo back in NL?

Congrats, you must post more about the TN details sometime.

I'm happy that after two years with a residence card you are finally going to actually LIVE in the Netherlands full time, there is definitely some universe conspiracy drawing you to that country.

And even though I know how very far apart we are..it helps to think we're sleeping underneath that same big sky :) Still think of you whenever I'm travelling and look up at the sky.

I'm looking forward to hearing all about your adventures!!
