new job

after sending dozens of applications and being at several job interviews I finally managed to land a new job. Technically I landed this job already a month ago. Since this company experiences a lot of personnel turnover they regularly recruit new people on a stand-by basis. Well, that's how I got in and then about two weeks ago I received the go ahead and now I am starting next week (thursday, june 25th) as a Program Manager aboard the MS Viking Legend the latest cruise ship of the Viking River Cruises Fleet. The route I'll be on leads from Amsterdam to Budapest and vice versa.

I'm telling you - I am so excited.

And for once my 'vagabond lifestyle' is a bonus, an advantage rather than a disadvantage. :-)
They actually prefer people with travel experience, people who've lived in other countries, different cultures, preferably one of them being the US. This is due to the ship only being promoted on the North American and British market. Luckily for me, I've lived in both in the USA as well as in the UK.

I even get to be at the ships christening! sooo cool!

love, Hanna
