Die Entscheidigung

The job hunt is on.

Next week marks my personal count down.

My contract for my current employer expires on 31.7. Four months.

I've decided that I want to stay in Germany. However, I've also applied for a job in Brussels.

The Foreign Service Exam is in June and I plan to register for the exam and take the exam. However, I'm currently in the process studying for my German exam in May so that will take the majority of my gray matter the next few weeks.

Goal: Berlin-job in research/writing/etc foreign affairs.

Some variations from this goal would be acceptable but I'm really shooting for Berlin. As a last resort I'll extend my contract an additional four months until the end of the year here, better a job I don't like than a job I don't have. I'm also looking for jobs Stateside, but mostly here.

Wow, the job hunt. It can be an interesting experience. The day I was notified that I was hired by the W-P Med Group back in winter 1987, I was given three jobs on the same day. I took the Civil Service job and never looked back. I did not make a mistake. I understand that the US Government contines to hire personnel. I do not know where these jobs are but they are available. Good luck to you. Also, keep us informed.
