You are not good enough - Apply for jobs in Germany

Image
I am applying for a working student job at the moment, try to make a move to Germany when I am still studying in Italy. And after a lot of application, I got this interview with a company in Berlin. We had a talk, things seem to go alright, I did my best. I did the interview while I am still working in the exposition, which is a very heavy job that I might get back to you later on other posts. But I have no choice of doing the interview in the meanwhile because when I got the invitation, I already agreed to go to work this time. So its not easy to making a call while I was working in the exhibition with massive crows and so many things going on, but I did it. And they seem to like me. I got to the 2nd round which means they gave me a technical test, it was doing a whole campaign to attract their new customers - ok way too much in my opinion. However, I am in a position that I will have to do anything to catch the opportunity. Got back from the exhibition, exhausting and I know I hav...

MY FIRST STEP INTO MARKETING

This is my favorite project during my MBA degree: A marketing plan for opening a new restaurant in Milan, Italy. I was very devoted for it. During the process of making this plan, I was lucky to read the book "Pour your heart into it" of  Howard Schultz about how he built the Brand Starbucks and it was great help for my project.

Of course, it is still a long way, because marketing is the field which reflected in obvious way the changing or time, of the history. A decade ago, people mostly pursue tradition...

A good day to start, this is my story

If you want to be happy, be.  As an Asian living in Europe, I am happy to see the crossroad of cultures between different continent or just the beauty and the ugly of our behaviors everyday. I cherished all the experience, the moments that I can enjoy and I will keep telling stories, learning more new things and live with all my love.  When I was in my home country, I was a finance manager, one of the youngest manager in my company, I have relatively good income in comparison with other people in my home country, it could be a dream income of my friends, my family. I can easily get a comfort life but I am always want to live more than just that. I believe money is just a tool, it should not be the goal, and also it never has been my proud. Left everything behind, I moved to Europe to carry on with an MBA degree, and explore a new side of the world, a side which I call somehow "my side". I planed for it for years without telling my friends or family because I know ...
