This is no longer one of my ‘after worldtour’-mails. Since today, ‘after worldtour’ is finished.
There’s no 24hour watching the PC, no trying to write some stupid letters to stupid people, no calling stupid people trying to convince them. There’s no complaining about the lack of social contacts in a place called Düren any more, no staying alone but at the same time being unmotivated to call other people any more.
Despair, frustration, hopelessness, depression have gone. A new life starts. NOW!
In my last worldtourmail, I was writing about the tough months to come. And…even though I expected them to be tough…I was surprised how tough they have been. Fuckin tough!!!
After a June of ‘recovering’, a July & semi-August of negative responses, negative responses and…negative responses…I had to admit myself that my approach of ‘change’ wasn’t realistic. I remember some of the phrases of my last diary mail.
“I don’t want to things I don’t like any more. I want to do the things in which I am good in. I wanna work with people”…
And I still remember all the frustration of people working in this ‘social sector’ who were behaving all…but not social…People who pretended to be in holidays when I called them. People who told me about my mails adressed to the wrong person, although my saved mails clearly reveal that they had been adressed to the right person…
Anyway…I have never worked in Human Resources. But I assume that those guyy must be pretty busy….But I assume as well that 90% of the guys working in HR must be mental wrecks, the worst workers of each company. Sorry for those 10% who are ‘good’ and can explain you why you aren’t invited for an interview…Anyway, just wanted to mention that the ‘social world’ isn’t that ‘social’ as it seemed to me previously…
And then I could quote a) the header “Big chaos ?!? That’s ME !!” and b) once again my last
worldtour diary mail ‘But I know myself way to good. At the end of the day…all will come totally different than I assumed not”…
And I can confirm….my life is just ‘different’ than life of so many ‘easy-path-followers’.
I could have stayed last year in England to continue working with JSP, a job I appreciated to some kind in the end…but which didn’t really fulfilled me….I could have…but….you know…I had some ‘better’ things to do.
And…this world tour has taught me so much. Once again I want to quote my diary.
‘I never want to feel afraid of an interview any more’…’and I never want to be treated that disrespectful as I had been treated buy the department manager in England”
Things have changed. Feels a little bit as if ‘Little Jochen’ has become a ‘Big Jochen’ (no, you don’t have to worry about my weight,-)
‘La positive attitude’ rules even more than before. On va marquer les gens!
And…people got entirely impressed by the power I have shown in the interviews.
And they will be even more impresses by the power I’ll show in real life ,-)
And…real life means….typical hectic for Jochen.
Having signed my contract today, I will start working in 10 days. In a small place close to Darmstadt, which is a town close to FRANKFURT.
Means some kind of organization, looking for an appartment…ans some ‘final partiyng’…first in the ‘Ruhrgebiet’ with some Schalke match involved, secondly in France, for the marriage of one of my best friends…
So…will be a bit hectic the next weeks, so don’t be angry if I don’t’t write…
For those who’re feeling interested, I will update on my new homepage (www.jk-worldwide.blogspot.com )about new adress, new telephone number etc
And…for those who even want to know the job I’ll have and the company I’ll work for…
I’ll leave some annotations on my homepage as well…
