The Assessment day

OK, done and over with!

It was quite an intense morning, filled with presentations, group discussions, simulations...All I know that at some point 2 of the 7 of us were 'disposed' of, meaning they kicked them out as they didn't want to waste anymore time with unsuitable candidates.

It was a very creative, stressful experience which, if I go through, was just the beginning of what's to come: a week-long training at the end of which we must present our cases and defend ourselves against the commercial board, the tough cookies. HR garanteed we'd have all their support during the process, but the final decision wasn't theirs to take... Basically we have to sell ourselves and maybe even our mothers to convince these guys we are the best for this job.

The job is quite ambigous in what isn't a common 9 to 5. Having said that, because it's so different, it gives me the chance to capitalise on it, later on. But you can be sent to India for as long as 6 months and then to Greece for another 3. And that's what it makes it so special, and hard. Not many would have the guts (or madness) to go for it, but I'm willing to try, like always. To stop is to die, right?
