Too good to be true, or......

Last week, on Monday to be precise, I had an interview at a company in Cologne. Despite being outnumbered with 3 to 1 and starting off a bit nervous the whole thing went pretty good and after about 45 minutes of talking we took a tour around the office to see what it is like. It seemed they liked me, and I certainly liked them so we decided that I was going to take a programming test last Friday.

Two hours late (They had to translate it first) the test arrived at around 11:00. Without going into any details I can say that it had to do with football and with games. I must say that I found the test really hard and getting all the football rules right in a nice clean object oriented structure was not an easy task. It took me 15 hours to get me something that looked like a result and when I finally got to bed, most of my body was hurting from staring at the computer screen.

Certain about being rejected at the finishing line I got the phone call this Monday saying that they liked what I had done and that they want me to start working with them. So from next Monday (2:nd April) I will be a working man again. I will start with 2 months of internship and then if nothing goes wrong I will get a full time, full pay position within the company at the first of June. Feels very very good that my days as unemployed are finally over.
