My first interview in English!!



Hi guys!!! Today I had my first job interview professional in English!! It was such an experience!! like some of you know, I am in the Netherlands in order to improve my English but also to look for an internship... besides from the Netherlands, I am looking for an internship also in the UK too, in fact the interview of today was for working in a city near to Liverpool. 

I was a little nervous at the beginning but when I started talking about the first question I become more calm and confident and I was able do the interview more or less fine (I think at least). 

I want to tell you the questions that they ask me in the interview, so if you are in the same position as me, you can practise them!!! 

-Tell me something about yourself.
-Describe yourself in five adjectives.
-Strengths and weakness.
-Why do you want to do an internship in the marketing deparment?
-Do you work fine under pressure?
-My favourite advertisment.
-What do you know about the company?
-Do you have any questions?

It didn't take much time, only 15 minutes and it was on Skype. The girl was very friendly... especially if after all she gives me the internship!! hahahahah.

Well, now it's time to wait.... I will know the results in a week, but I am not going to stop with my search of internship.... I can't wait for finding an internship in a creative position and to gain experience working abroad.

ayy guys, wish me luck!!!!

My last time in Groningen

Hi friends!! It was a long time since I wrote in the blog about my last steps, but as most of you know I have been in Granada since Christmas. I have really spent a great time in Granada with my family and friends and of course I have enjoyed the weather, the traditional food, the good friendships... although I have also tried to take some time for improving my English (taking courses here in Granada) and for my search for internships.

And now it's time to move and to do an an intensive search for interships all over the Netherlands. So I have to start preparing my luggage because in a very few days I will be in Groningen again.

Why Groningen again?

I like the lifestyle in the Netherlands, I am really in love of going everywhere on bike. It's really awesome for the people that aren't accustomed to do it in their hometown. Another reason is the language... I am trying to improve my English level and the Netherlands is a country which allows me do it. The last reason is that I have some good friends living there and I want to share a good time with them while I am looking for an internship, especially in Groningen where I a share flat with two of my best friends.

Why for the last time?

I think I won't come back to Groningen after this time... I like the city, but I don't want to live there alone without my Erasmus people so I will be there for the next two months and I hope to find something good and if it doesn't happen, I will begin again with other plans.

To sum up, I will spend the next months in Groningen, studying and looking for an internship as a visual merchandiser or in a marketing department, and meanwhile I hope to spend a great time with all my friends who are living there and waiting for everyone who wants to come.... Queen's Day waits us!!!!
