10th January 2008: A new milestone in my life!
Rainy morning, I missed the transit bus from the train station Versailles-Chantiers. I kept my head clear, went back to the train station and took the train to the next station: Le Petit Jouy. Chilling in the rain and didn't know which way to go, I stopped a teenager to ask for direction, he told me: 15 minutes walk from here!
After 25 mins walking, I was still walking.
Handphone rang, from the company; I told the interviewer that I would arrive soon as am not far (still cool even though I was kinda lost). Fortunately a kind man from the townhall lent me a hand and dropped me to the destination in no time!!
My interviewer is a very very elegant respiratory physician. After mutual introduction, she led me to her office and warmly invited me to sit down. She has expressed pretty good remarks on my previous experiences and the interview went really well. 20 mins later, I met the manager of the group, whom I was very impressed of. A foreigner holding a leader post, she must be of extraordinary capability. Likewise, our conversation went smoothly and she proposed to pay the taxi to send me to the train station with the company voucher. I was overwhelmed by the generousity and happily accepted!
Reached home; exhausted.
NO idea if they would take me or not. I am bad at judging interviews owing to previous traumatic experiences.
:)
Around 5.30PM, my phone rang: It was from the company.
"After interviewing all the candidates, we feel that you are the most suitable candidate for our mission. Are you still interested to accept this offer?" The respiratory physician asked me.
"YES YES YES!" I was jumping literally that I got the internship offer!
THere I go, a new journey will begin soon.
All my sacrifices, my partner's undivided support and my family's understanding finally paid off!! My plans go accordingly, despite sweats, tears etc... I have no regret to come here for my new life, pursuing what I dreamed of with perseverance.
Thank you my future company for turning a new page in my life!

Bravo Nathalie! All the hard works paid off at this moment. The company seems nice, one interview and gave you the news on the same days. We have had some bad experiences here, even for the French. We had to pass through several interviews, and they told you the right one or two weeks later. One of my classmates was waiting for 2 weeks and was so anxious. Anyway, I wish I can follow your step soon! I'm so easy to work. :-)
