Uğur (you remember? our bartender.) is ready for a change and told us how he had an interview coming up with Royal Caribbean. The problem is that they want him to have a third language. Sadly, he has tried for years to learn German, but it is still pretty bad.
Royal Caribbean practically said their interview person can't speak German, so he plans on just making stuff up that sounds German. He admitted he does not have high expectations.
A few days ago I asked him why he didn't look into Disney Cruise Line, which only requires strong English skills. Well, I guess he liked this thought, because yesterday he went to the local recruiting office and they are having him come back in this week.
And that's when he offered me a free beer or two last night. To critique his CV (resume) and make sure the Enlish was looking good on it. I warned him I may make lots of changes, but he was excited and didn't care.
Just a few word-choice changes and pointing out to him that he had left out the fact that he attended university for 2 years for travel and tourism. So, he quickly added that (sort of a big deal).
I hope he gets some good news out of this. He is showing me his corrected CV this morning and going in Wednesday or Thursday. Uğur said he would keep me posted. This would be one more I could add to my list of people I helped get a good job for, without being able to get my own. Ugh.
Well, I'll be out of the hostel late this morning. Going to be sad to be going, but at least I will have a nice time tonight in Amsterdam. My new Dutch friends are coming to see me for sure, so I will be rushing through the airport and throwing my bags in storage to get to them quickly.
I'm certain I will have a bit more to write about after tonight's visit to the Flying Pig.
