Working in an agency or a corpo wannabe?

After few little troubles I was finally accepted for an unpaid internship in a public relations agency.
Just for the record the first one I was trying to get into, was a kind of favour for my mum, i was suppose to get an opportunity of an unpaid internship in the company that was doing PR in her company- as these kind of things like to end up, they screwd me a little bit.

In the meantime I was doing my little research about agencies in Cracow, the city that I moved into, following P.

I don't know whether the agencies I found in Cracow are good or not, the truth is that in cases like this you should check their projects and clients to see if you find them interesting,

So far I strongly believe that when working somewhere first of all you should not get pissed with the work and secondly you should like what you are doing to make it the best possible.
So I applied for the two I found, I was contacted by hr specialist from one and pr manager from the second.
Hr specialist has sent me some case studies to resolve and PR manager invited me for an interview.
I didnt get through case studies however the lady advised me to study a bit more the field and reapply in few months (youhouuu!).
I went to the interview to the second agency and after all they said the famous: 'will contact you shortly'.

Anyways interviews are the subject for the whole different post.
The 'shortly' took them a week (by the time I found myself a nice job) that I kind of suspended because I really wanted to do the internship (i may say that it is a kind of obligation at my studies but really you can easily get a confirmation paper from any company, If you really don't want to do it).

I wanted. I thought I could learn a lot during this experience.

You know I try not to believe people who say: 'yeah, yeah you will make copies and coffee. And I was probably lucky at some point because from the very first day I was writing press realizes, doing researches, calling journalists and making data bases. During few weeks I learnt really much,

Moreover I got to work with nice and helpful people and had fun. If only I got money for this I could do it longer.

Anyway one thing is sure- you will never read news the way you did before working in PR.

Being afraid that I wouldnt learn anything and wouldn't  like the agency I found some job offers on the Internet.

The offers where from IBM, lufthansa and capgemini ( well I found another interesting in Philip Morris but finally didn't have time to fully apply - it sometimes take ages!)
So I postulated for junior accountant in IBM and lufthansa and for personal assistant in capgemini. They all called but only capgemini hr specialist invited me to an interview. My overall impression of capgemini building and appearance of the people working there is: OMG I wouldn't like to spend years in this open space!
I am still waiting for the reply from caogemini however I did some thinking and I think, after all pros and cons I would probably happy to work as a personal assistant for some time - it might not be my dream job but I dont have one

wrinkles

I feel like a student again!
I went out twice this weekend, got a little drunk, chatted with many nice people...

it feels good to have time to spend a weekend without driving hundreds of miles...

I was kinda pissed for two days when my hun told my he couldnt make it this weekend- I felt it was all unfair etc however I later came to conclusion that if is the one (supposingly) we will hav thousands of WE together and will be happy to get one without each other.
so here I am having a girly WE.

p.s.
I bought my tickets for a language course in Playa del Carmen! whooopi!

p.s.2
I actually started to use a anti-wrinkle cream OMG! ageing seriously scares me and obviously not in terms of wrinkles.

Setting goals

I always think that maybe I should do more than I do, I should spend more time with my family, I should take Spanish course I should accept a job etc etc.

I did some thinking about it today and I think I know where it comes from.

My attitude of setting myself goal of 150% in order to complete 90% comes from the fact that I am scared.

Somewhere deep inside I don’t believe in myself.

It’s hard to admit because I consider myself confident however I want to do everything because I am scared that in some years I won’t be able to do all those things I could do now.

Funny.

Scary.

Polandia

I landed on Saturday on early morning, it was really grey and windy, very warm as for this thime of year, 3 grades. I went out at Cracow airport and I was so happy.

Not happy because I left Spain, where I really enjoy living but because I was so exicted about coming home.

Cracow, as usually full of turists who get surprised when they look for subway which does not exist, then they discover that on Saturday there is a bus every 40 minutes- going to the center.

We took the bus, really crowdy one, changed to another and we finally got to my love’s appartment. I was very suprised to dicover how far ahead they where with construction of „fast tram” and new road connecting our estate with the rest of Cracow. It’s a good place to live, just in front of new campus of the largest and oldest Uni in Cracow, UJ. 

It was a WE full of love for me, after some time spent at home we headed to Christmas market on Cracow’s main square. I must say that it has the best Christmas see I have ever seen on market square. It’s huge and natural- simply beautiful and smells so nice. I satisfied my needs of buying warm wine and chocolate cowered fruits and we had romantic walk back.

To make it all even better, we bought some beers and spent an evening in front of tv with beers and crisps!

I couldn’t imagine better wake up than my boyfriend kissing me and showing me the snow outside...

We hurried for an early dinner to my home. I missed so much my family! We didn’t know where to start! Everybody was talking, eating, smiling, great!

In the evening I went to Wroclaw, the highway didn’t change, for some more months we wouldn’t have to pay. My friend lives in such a nice appartment.

I just woke up.

And it’s sunny today! I can see main road far from my window, I hear street noises and probably should stop being so happy and just get to work!

I am so Happy! Have a good day!

busy with creating the perfect life

It all starts up in kindergarden where we start to discover our passions eventhough it’s just some fun for us at that time.

Going to school makes us have friends, be hated, grow up. Since the age of 7 in my case, I started to create my world.

Thanks to my parents I was pushed to do all kind of sports starting with ice-skating ending up with climbing. I hated it for long time but now I know how important it was to actually make me do this stuff.

They also signed my up for english classes, twice a week at first.

Subconciously I decided I wasn’t busy enough, so by the age of 10 I begged my parents to let me enter the music school.

Then I went to a bilingual secondary school and later high school.

I entered the med school but dropped it after two months. I really enjoyed my gap year.

I entered Uni to study economics and started to learn Spanish.

The following year I entered another Uni to study journalism and public relations. I enjoy both.

This year I went to live in Spain for some time.

I‘m so excited to see what the future will be like!

So when my friends ask my why I do so many things at a time, I just say that I can’t do it any other way cause I’ve always been busy.

This is my perfect life, my idea of fun.

Always wanting more- GJ.

Oh! Thanks for all mum and dad!
