Young, Sexy and Unemployed

Found it, waited for it, lost it, redirected it, got it, then lost it again. The cycle is finally complete. So goes my job search in Germany. The longer version goes something like … I found a sexy lil internship. The company was as interested in me as I was in it. The one snag (and a 15 week stag at that) was I didn’t have a work permit. In the middle of the wait the company said they couldn’t hold off any longer and looked for other candidates. The Unemployment Office (simply translated into German as ‘Landesamt für Bürger und Ordnungsangelegenheiten’ … I think I’ll stick to 'Unemployment Office') FINALLY gave me the work permit last Tuesday YIPPY HOORAY HUURAHH. I approached the company again, and once again they showed enthusiasm about me coming aboard. Alas, I failed in negotiating a final condition of my employment and I haven't heard from them since. On the bright side, if I actually did find a job I’d have simply nothing to blog about.
