The run

This week I have the run. Monday it started, when I was going to visit my beloved horse. In the car my mobile was ringing. A big truck company was calling to come to an interview into their house. Was for crashing my car, when I heard what company was calling me ;-)
This happens after I was trying to get my feet into that company for almost one year, and after two interviews in agencies for temporary work.
A month ago I was deciding to not waste any energy anymore to enter that company and now they called me to invite me to come to their holy head office.

After the lady was talking to me on the phone in italian for a while she asked me if it is okay to pass me to annother person for doing the english test now on the phone. Sure I said, think I can make a telephone conversation in english. So we did.
The lady passed me back to the italian and we made a date for an interview inside the company.

Arrived at the horses. Was only cleaning a little and letting my little one running around outside the paddock. The earth was all slippery after the rainy days, so I didn't want to ride, also my cold should be cured 100 % first.
Was happy to clean the horses and started to clean also their 3 boxes when the phone was ringing again.

Annother company asking me to come to an interview. Sure, made a date, was happy and continued to clean again. The mobile was ringing again, my horse came everytime my handy was ringing and was listening why I was speaking into a little box. The second company again. They were talking to their client and he absolutely wants to meet me so they want to make a second date two days later direct with their client.

Yesterday was really a crazy day.

Today I had the first interview. Was a very short and successfull one. They only wanted to get to know me before I go to their client (an international company, a daughter of Balzers/Oerlikon, very popular in Germany). The office in my hometown is not so big, but big enough for me to have a nice international start in Italy (if they take me).
My favorite is still the one I will go to tomorrow, a big truck company starting with I and ending with o. ;-)
I visited the place today on my way back from the other interview and is like a little town. I would really love to work in that company, also because I loved to drive their trucks (7,49 tons) when I was working in a car rental in Germany on my weekends. Think for tecnical support I am better than all the others, because I was driving those trucks for years. A big trump card I was not playing yet, I will do that tomorrow.

On thursday I will have the last interview so far and than I hope I will have a decision by next week.
Wish me all the luck.
This week, with a run like that there is only place for L O V E.
