Hello! Im StarDust. Im Australian and my dutch is ... well i dont consider my "dutch" real. Infact im useless. Id rather underestimate myself than overestimate my dutch as i may get in trouble when im looking for a job.

Yesterday Gundam and I went to visit his employment agency with some questions about his job... on a whim we asked about a job for me ...

her reply... NO JOKE...

"well we are looking for native english speakers to call to australia"

WHAT! yes

IM AUSTRALIAN! i live in the area!

funny huh.. a belgian company emplying english speaking (not very much dutch skills) to call to my country which is on the other side of the world!

to do what....

 

to call the hospitals and do surveys about the equiptment and drugs they use to see if something can be improved... oh my goodness!

well..

i can call people!

i can talk!

i like surveys!

ive been to hospital!

(infact i plan to study in the medical field in the near future)

 

My job history does compomise telemarketing work so thats good

Seems we're on a parallel course here.
My first overseas job was a telephone job, calling back home :p

Hope it goes well for you. Don't stop with your dutch, you were learning it far faster than I.

This goes to show you: you should not under-underestimate your skills and chances. Yay for possibly getting a job! You sound perfect for it, and you can build on your work experience, and of course an income is nice.

The catch sounds a little harsh, but if you can work 3 or 4 days (or nights in this case) it should be doable!

Some tips: rest your voice as much as you can when you're continually calling and talking. Stay away from smoking and smokers. Drink tea with honey and try not to drink too much milk if your throat is sore.

*ik duim voor je* I am thumbing for you! (That means I am wishing you well.)

I love that you are almost as far from home as possible, and manage to find a job calling home. I wonder if you can phone your folks in breaks smilies/wink.gif

Any news yet?

Ratty jeans are in, right now. Just accessorise with a shiny belt and shiny shoes.
No babysitters network around you yet? It helps if you have 2-3 regular babysitters. Maybe neighbours, or neighbour's kids?

*hugs* For good luck! Go get them!
