looking for a job
doing my first steps as a fresh graduate was in a way quite challenging. My mind was full of questions.
Where do i see myself in a few years from now? What is important for me in my job? What do i want to learn? Where and from whom? What do i expect of myself and the others? And finally,
where do i apply?I remembered all the vision building excercises, hours spent on setting the direction of my life. Somehow, pretty useless for a concrete step but very useful to figure out a couple of basics.
I want a meaningful job. It also needs to have an essence of altruism, so that i know that i am contributing to something bigger, something that makes lives of people better, more enjoyable.We've spent a great afternoon in Milano with my two girls - Majken and Mairi - suggesting each other occupations and activities we can imagine the other two doing. Getting a list of skills the people you've worked with see in you was a priceless help for my first steps. Thank you, my dears :) I am thinking of you! I wonder how our chat influenced/will influence your choices...
graduated...
It's been ages since i posted last time. Somehow, i didn't feel like writing recently. Too many things were happening, no time to stop and reflect, catch ideas... but moving on fast.
So, I successfully finished my thesis and defended it. Increasing efficiency towards the end meant, that about one third of my thesis was actually born on the last night before deadline. Not necessarily because I wanted, but because there was so much to write about. I really enjoyed my about the future of EU and the suitable concept of its enlargement. It seemed to me like a nice closing of my studies. I wonder if i ever use it somewhere or in some context. Who knows...
Final exams were a bit of disappointment. I expected a bit more from my university in terms of approach of professors and students as well as a higher level of demand. With a bit of presentation skills and structured thoughts, there was not much of a challenge.
After all, i am a graduated "Ingeneer of International Relations" :)
i am curious what this is going to mean in practice. So far, it only meant a change of my name in all official documents: Ing. Zuzana Leiser Rosova. Sounds like a different person to me, ay!
BUT, the graduation party was great! Wonderful atmosphere, great people, little family gathering and an opportunity for Sami's parents to finaly pay us a visit. Oh, I forgot the tasty food in the restaurant we went to. A perfect start into a new chapter of my life.
