For months nothing happens and now Vil got two offers one in Amsterdam and another one in Barcelona. Both are really good jobs in IT which will make Vil surely happy.
Now he need to decide what to do.

Vil got the job, that’s no question, but we still need to wait until the security check is finished and until then we have no other choice then to be on standby. It’s not easy to have no idea when the check will be finished. They want to check papers which are more then thirty years old and this will last. We are not even sure if the originals still exist, because Vil finished his high-school in the last century…….

A questionable experience.
Hello to all our friends and followers,
Vil will start his job at the 15.th next month and until then we have plenty of things to arrange. Most important we need a place somewhere in the Netherlands, Spain or France to wait until our flat is ready.
Currently, we are still in Badalona, a big thank you Theresa, Jack and Miquel, but we can’t stay here forever. We are totally happy and grateful that they offered us food and shelter, but now it’s time to leave. 🙁
All is sorted and the “good life” is waiting for us and now we need a place to stay for a few days. If you can offer us a sofa for a few days, no matter if in Spain, France or The Netherlands, please contact us via email: IndyDerHund@Gmail.com or WhatsApp: +34694 403 951.
A big WUFF to you all.

That was the fastest interview Vil ever attended. In just five minutes the decision was made that Vil will get an offer to work for the company and the location will be Amsterdam. Now Vil needs to pass the background check and all is done!
Moving time……
Our journey might be finally over next week. Vil has three jobs where he just need to wait for the final decision. A funny situation. Long time nothing happened and now it seems that many things will happen next week.
S.D.S.C. – ORCL – AMS – 60K+ – 75% possibility
B.D.M. – C.-T. – BCN / Home office – 30K+ – 50% possibility
The Camera Guys – Frontline Tecnician – BCN – 32K+ – 75% possibiliy
Maybe next weekend we will be already somewhere else or it’s confirmed that we can stay in Barcelona.
Time will tell.

Today Vil was invited to another interview for a position as a front line technician. Four hours, four different interviews with four different persons. The direct manager, the HR lady, the technician and finally the global operation manager.
Well, Vil thinks that the interview went quite well. He liked the way people presented themselves an their company. The product is solid and there is no question that Vil can support the product and be happy with the offered job.
The office would be in Barcelona, the team would five and Vil would be allowed to bring me with him to work.
GO FOR IT!
There is snow in Amsterdam. Vil saw a white, one-meter-long patch of something like snow and nearly slipped on the frozen street.
Anyhow, Vil just finished the interview and he sounded quite positive, but our experience shows that we better not expect too much and stay calm until they decide. The nice girl from HR told Vil that the decision will be made Friday already but for sure start next week.
Now we need to wait. AGAIN! I fri***ing hate it. We had that already and all the time the answer was: “We are impressed by your CV, but unfortunately you are too qualified, and we don’t want to proceed with the hiring process”. PLEASE NOT THIS TIME!
They really grilled Vil during the interview. “Who are you?”, “What is your experience?”, “What is your attitude?”…… and, and, and. Then he was asked to explain a few technical terms like SaaS, PaaS, IaaS, ….. to a virtual audience of customers from all levels within a company. It was like explaining Skype to Vil’s mum a long time ago. 🙂 “Explain for the stupid and don’t use too many technical terms.” Not easy in the first place and during the presentation one member of the audience disturbed Vil with unconnected questions and tried to insecure Vil, but Vil made it! 🙂
Now Vil will go and visit a few places he visited when he was living in Amsterdam. Maybe Spuistraat and The Bulldog. Ok, The Bulldog is tourist stuff, but why not? Vil earned his fun today and he didn’t sleep for 36 hours, so he is a bit tired and needs a bit distracting.

To be continued…….
Vil just left the house. Today he travels to Amsterdam for an interview. It’s the last interview in a long row and until Friday it will be decided of we move to Amsterdam or not. Two hours interview, the most important two hours in our lives. Who knows?

I hate it. Again Vil got a note that his CV is very impressive, but they think Vil’s qualification is way above the needed level and they are concerned that Vil won’t be happy with the position and get bored soon. Hmmmm, WTF? Vil is ok with it, even if the position is way below his qualifications, so why not you Mo******ers!?
