Vignettes

So, I finally found  a new job. Phew.

I’m working two-three days a week at Optimizers, a pretty small market research / consultancy in downtown Copenhagen. Now, rather than just interviewing day and day out, I’m actually involved in the entire research process: Meeting with the client, drafting questionnaires, processing survey results, writing reports, conducting interviews … It’s great. It’s quite a mouthful, but I’ve been dying to get out and do something with my studies. … Oh, and the pay is better., and I’m no longer working nights and weekends.

I called and quit at Nielsen Company this evening, and I’ll be going in Thursday to say goodbye and see if I can get my reference, otherwise they’ll just mail it to me. I’ve been there two years, learned a lot, but it’s was definitely time to move on.  It just wasn’t going anywhere. I’ve tried moving on and upwards twice in Nielsen, but to no avail. Last year, I contacted the Qualitative Research dept., since I was considering applying for an internship there. I exchanged some emails, had an interview with them… and then never heard a thing. This year, I applied for a job as a qualitative project assistant … but I haven’t heard a thing either. So I started looking elsewhere, and got it. Bu-bye Nielsen. There really isn’t all that much to say.

Except hurray! I have a real job!
