It happened very suddenly during the "thesis week", the days before the deadline. An e-mail from a good friend from Warwick advertising a job at DHL in Brussels, a CV and motivation letter sent very quickly and an interview on the next day: I will be working for DHL in Brussels until Christmas.
It is a very interesting project in the finance department, working with the finance director of DHL Service Parts Logistics. It is a new field for me, therefore I expect to learn a lot.
I am also excited to be in Brussels. I have been there a little over one year ago and have some confusing, but nonetheless, fond memories from the city (well, not really the city).
I am also glad to have some time to research and think about the next permanent employment. This job gives me the opportunity to do the job search while employed, which takes some pressure of the job hunt. I now have the time to consider the offers that I already have and the ones I expect to get in the next few weeks carefully.
Of course, linked to the job search, DHL itself and the DPWN group are employers which have been on my radar since the beginning of the MBA and I am looking forward to getting to know this group better. They are growing rapidly and I expect to find interesting possibilities there.
So now you know. If any of you plans to be near Brussels in the next few months, send me an e-mail, I would be glad to show you around and, if possible, even offer a coach or sofa to sleep for a night or two.
