Thank you for your encourageing words Peter. I am not great at telling myself that I can be happy before I “get there”. So it’s a good reminder!

I wanted to add my plan as well:

Today I’ll reply to a Linkedin message (I wrote a contact of a contact who’s working at the first company I applied to, so I need to get back to him). I will also start my application to a 6 month temporary junior credit risk position in Zurich. That one is currently on the top of my list.

The next couple of days i want to send in the above application and also start the application for the Swedish company (yeah; I’m sending it in…)

Ok, so I have now finished the cv for the 6 month postion. I’ll start on the cover letter tomorrow and will send it in this week.

I replied to the Linkedin message. Still waiting to hear back about my applications. I have three applications pending; two for the same company, the reinsurer, and one for an investment bank.

I feel like I need to put in a little more effort, spending a little more time on this. I need to update this thread daily and doing a good 2 hours of work on this each weekday + maybe 3-4 on the weekends and days off.

My goals for this week:

1. Send in application for the 6 month contract

2. Send in application for the Swedish company Basel

3. Connect with 5 new people on Linkedin

4. Send my cv to my friend in Germany to review and give suggestions

I think I will add some more exitement for myself by giving myself a little reward when I have accomplished the above! 🙂

Quick update:

~~1. Send in application for the 6 month contract~~

2. Send in application for the Swedish company in Basel

~~3. Connect with 5 new people on Linkedin~~

4. Send my cv to my friend in Germany to review and give suggestions

I’ll start working on the application to the Swedish company tomorrow and message my friend to see if she is still keen on having a look at my cv. (:

I have heard back about the first application I sent in, or one of the two, as I applied for two different positions in one graduate program. So negative answer there, but that’s ok, I didn’t exactly expect to get the first job I applied for anyway. I submitted an application for the 6 month contract yesterday. And I’ve sent an email to ask about the other two that I am waiting to hear back from. To be continued…
