Hello guys!!! Yes. Although I posted something some months ago, only now I am back on writing in this blog. To explain why I was away for such a long time comes from my friend Conrado. I don't know if I mentioned it before, but he once told me that when he was traveling around Brazil doing coaching visits for AIESEC he had subjects to talk about. But when he came back home he didn't have much to talk about. The same happened with me.
When I was in Mexico and in AIESEC, I could write about my adventures and misadventures. But somehow my life became boring when I came back to Brazil. So now, is it exciting enough for me to write? Well, all I can say is that I will try! :)
But what's new?
- I am hunting a job - and I can share the experience with you.
- I am starting a business.
So, this first post I want to talk about hunting a job. It's being a nice experience and something I want to share.
One of the coolest things about hunting a job is to meet people and get to know about them. I always enjoyed that a lot in selection processes in AIESEC and in other opportunities. So far I got to know a guy that traveled to meet his relatives in Jerusalem and after he got a job in Angola. Another one attempted 3 times to go to USA to play tennis... he didn't give back on his dream and did it. I even met a guy in a selection process that traveled through AIESEC Uberlandia... it was nice to see that if it wasn't somehow my dedication to AIESEC it would never have happened... Yeah, I really impacted his life. *
Of course not everything are flowers (Brazilian expression) hehe. I met some weird guys along the way. And I got bored to hear (more than once) "The biggest achievement of my life was to be accepted in the university." or "The hardest moment of my life was to leave my parents". I constantly ask myself if they don't think if they can differentiate of the rest of us with those examples.
But there are other nice things. You get to know about companies. Today I got to know that Procter and Gamble (and its ads about soaps in the past) were the responsible for the creation of the expression: "soap opera". And we get to know about benefits, programs, profile of companies, institutional (and exciting) videos. It's very cool. It's nice to see yourself working with those people in different environments.

Something else that is taking a lot of my time is tests! But hey, I know you're going to be a bit disappointed with me right now but... I like tests. :D I always liked it. When I was applying for universities in Brazil... I really enjoyed it (I was accepted in 6 different programs in 3 different universities... I think I was good at it also hehe). But what I really enjoy about tests is the fact that it always challenges our way of thinking and brings us new information that we have to deal with in a short period of time and take a fast decision. For now I am still enjoying it, although sometimes it's exhausting.
And what am I looking for. Now, more than ever, I am sure that I would like to work either with Consulting or in the Consumer Goods industry. I am applying for some positions now and the good thing is that results are going to come in different dates. So I can get a job sooner than I thought.
It's my first back post. As I was saying above... I hope you enjoy it. In the next I am going to talk about my adventures as entrepreneur. It's being also exciting and challenging... but you will get to know more in my next post. See ya!! (soon)
* I helped to found three committees in Brazil: Ribeirão Preto, Franca and Uberlandia. Everything seems worth now! :)
