Friday 24/10 - After 6 long weeks of unemployment, I have finally found a job! Better later than never. It’s a one-year contract… in London! 

I found GVEP International’s job offer on Twitter. It was advertised on Freelancestudents.co.uk

In early October, I applied for the position. A week later, I was told that my application was shortlisted. On October 19th, I was up at 4:00 am and took the Eurostar to London. I had a job interview and a written test to do. Then after 2 days, I received an email telling me I GOT THE JOB!

The starting date is on November 14th. I have 3 weeks left to get ready to leave and settle in London!
