Geneva - the sequel

So after two months I am back in Geneva. A lot has happened the last two months, so much so I didn’t really have time to write anything. It’s been exciting and stressful times. First job wise: two weeks after my interview in Geneva and a test in Brussels, they told me I was accepted for a 6 months contract to start with. In the meantime the UN invited me for an interview and then again for another one. I was in the last four but didn’t get it. I wasn’t really great during the interview and also the others had far more experience and networking skills than I have for the moment. So I accepted the job. The fact that it’s only for 6 months to start off with is reassuring: I don’t like it, it will be over quickly, I like it and more importantly, they like me, I can stay.


Also I am going back to my first love: medicine. This job is basically a campaign that focuses on making drugs available to everybody, so a lot of lobbying towards the pharmaceutical companies, WHO and WTO. Exciting stuff. However, now, back in the Geneva offices I feel overwhelmed, scared, excited and all of the above ☺

So now I am relocating to Geneva, well actually not until end of September. Before that I am taking a well-earned break. First on week in Brussels and then I am flying to Dublin for four days and then to Scotland!

The week in Brussels will be welcome as I just bought myself an apartment there. Yes I know sounds ridiculous to buy something and then moving out but I did the first thing before deciding on the later. The apartment is coming out nicely, although no real personal touch as I will be renting it out to two lovely (well I hope so) girls.

The last thing I still need to do is find myself a place to stay here in Geneva. And that seems to be extremely difficult. Not a lot of studio’s or rooms for rent and all quite expensive… So that another thing I have to do. I’ll keep you posted.
