Hej ho,
first, a picture of someone which shall remind us that there are things in life which are MUCH more important than any internship, job etc.:
However, as I promised, I will also tell you the results of my job interviews. And the decision is taken. Yesterday I got a call from Kraftfoods on my answering machine to call back in order to get to know my result. About 1 hour ago I also had a call from Procter & Gamble on my answering machine, asking me to call back, too. So I did. The man (with whom I had my last interview) told me that he was in a hurry, so he told me he would call me tomorrow morning. However, as I was really excited I wanted to know the result. "The internship at P&G won't happen!" ....
After having travelled more than 6.000 km to be in the final round for the internship, this is not the nicest answer to hear, that's what I can tell you. I am really interested to get to know the reasons...
One minute after this conversation I decided to call Kraftfoods (the second biggest food company in the world). Bam! I got the internship! The funny thing, I am working on the current focus project of Kraftfood which is called Tassimo, a joint venture between Kraftfoods and Braun (Braun belongs to P&G).
So, what is the outcome of my two weeks of travelling through Germany, doing a marketing seminar at P&G and several job interviews?
Beginning on the 26th of june I will be in Bremen, in the North of Germany, doing my internship at Kraftfoods and enjoying life.
See you soon,
Fabian

- Never trust your feelings about an interview
- Never try to bend yourself in an interview to fit into the culture of the company, because your interview partners are experienced and professionals
- Never criticise a company during an informal lunch meeting, because it could be that this person is coincidently doing a job interview with you some days later ;-)
- Never rely on the German ICE-train, as it is (almost) always delayed

This was the word zum sunday. Amen.
Ne mal im Ernst, Herzlichen Glückwunsch Fachi! Wünsch dir viel Erfolg bei den Fischköppen und jetzt genieß die letzten Tage und Wochen im Land des Knäckebrots. Vielleicht wirst du ja Produktmanager für Wasa :)
