Elvis is leaving the building. Probably.

Five months of my six month contract gone.

So last week I put my CV out and yesterday (dude, it’s Saturday afternoon!) a phone call.

Do you speak any languages? I’ve got a really juicy two-year Finance system implementation and you tick all the right boxes.

I’ve done many large-scale system implementations, one of which was a replacement finance application.

I bite back the giggly temptation to say I speak Welsh and English – well, he did as if I speak any languages.

Spanish, I say. And bad German.

Shame, he says. This contract is based in Paris and we need a Dutch/French speaker.

I tell him I can say ‘I love you’ in Dutch and French.

Oh, how he laughs.

Then says he’ll call if he gets anything suitable for me.

  1. You could have told him you know a blogger who speaks French but I’m not sure it would have helped lol
    Good luck for your job search πŸ™‚

    Gigolo? πŸ˜‰

  3. I don’t know.. those words might come in handy for a Finance System Implementation project.

    At least you would have a lot of friends. πŸ™‚

  4. Katja, you’re a very wicked girl! πŸ™‚ Hope you’re ok after your shock in SW2.

    Lisa, I make friends, it’s what I do. But wandering up to some random person and whispering Ik hou van je may not be the best conversational gambit I’ve triedÒ€¦. πŸ™‚
