He's got beauty and brains, this man of mine....

A few years ago, in 2008, when we started planning everything for the wedding and the worldtrip, Joris and I decided to look around for ways to earn more money to be able to save up some serious moolah.
One of the options was that Joris would go to Holland for a few months and work there and save some euros instead of Florins. That option proved unneccesary, as the company he had been working for in Curacao matched the offer he got from the Rabobank and as we were not exactly looking forward to missing each other for 6 months just before our marriage, he stayed. (jee)

In the process of finding the job in Holland, Joris got into contact with a company called Schuberg Philis, located near Schiphol. He had a webcam interview with some technicians, but was told he was not there yet.

Ever since, Joris really, really wanted to work there. He stayed in contact with the recruiter and when we decided to move here, he contacted them and they set up another meeting.

Here I have to make a sidestep: Joris had his resume on Monsterboard for a while and was receiving mails regularly before we left Curacao, but once the worldtrip was canceled, things had changed. He had put his phonenumber on the site and while he was walking away from the computer, he said: "I wonder when the first one will c..." TRIIIINNGG!!
It took no more than 1 minute.
And the phonecalls kept on coming. Joris was harrassed day and night and had contact with about 30 companies. Of all these companies there were 3 that he followed through with: Ordina, TAQA and...Schuberg Philis.

(Even though he would say that each offered their challenges and that he would like to work at any, Schuberg Philis was the ultimate dreamjob in his eyes. He just didn't believe he was good enough (yet). But as the weeks went by, his confidence grew.)

After many, many interviews and endless phone conversations, Joris thanked TAQA and received an offer from Ordina. Schuberg Philis was still in the game, but was taking more time than expected.

Yesterday, though, was the final interview and Joris got the job and Schuberg Philis! His official job description is Mission Critical Engineer and the workconditions are more than ideal.

Jee!! Joris got his dream job!
