Yesterday the facts were announced. Now waiting...

[Usrin]

good luck for the interview!

Interview done. The result will be announced in the 2nd half of April, I give myself a 20 percent chance for getting the job. Reasons: it turned out that they have 3 candidates for the position, that would mean 33% for me. However, my spoken English was far from perfect (lack of practicing). I think my level would be absolutely enough in Norway, but the company has some clients in the UK. Moreover: their projects focus on the analysis of core samples and geophysical data from oil wells, in which I have only slight experience. (My PhD and my current work are based on seismic interpretation, which is seldom done by this company.) Btw, I don't know anything about the expertise of the other candidates.

Translation: Usrin will get the job FOR SURE.

Your bet was right, I got it. 

You won a friendly pat on the back, and you're welcome for a Globus Liver Paste or a bottle of Carlsberg (you can choose).


BÖFF!

Congratulations!

So Norway, is it? When will you move?

Keep it, because I did not pay the one for the Betelgeuse issue.

Now I have to bet with Tomkafasz again: after 10(+2) years I still couldn't skid the CBA girl.

Congratulations Usrin! And a warm welcome to Scandinavia. I'm sure you'll be happy...  until you see the beer prices in Norway
Good luck!

[Usrin]

Congratulations!

So Norway, is it? When will you move?

Thanks to everybody! I'm going to start on 1 June, so I'll have to move to Stavanger in the end of May. My wife and my son are going to join me several months later, when it turns out whether I'm contented with the job, whether my boss is contented with me, and whether I can tolerate Norwegian beer prices.


Btw, I'll come home to Hungary quite often (every 2-3 months), so I won't have to miss cheap beer too long. Or maybe I can make beer trips to Denmark.

That offer is a joke: more work, more stress, less money. But as long as I have no better choice... And first I should pass the competence tests: language (as you can see, I'm still damned shitty in English), psychology and general talk with HR. I don't know how will it go.

I don't check this topic regularly as I don't have changing my job at the moment, but:

Congratulations, Usrin. I hope you'll have a good time in the homeland of true emancipation.

It's strange but what you mentioned as your disadvantage (core sample analysis) would be an advantage for me, though I'm not a geologist and not a reservoir engineer...

Waiting for the official evaluation of my competence & psychological tests. No problem with the first one (all the skills were found to be far over the average), but the result of the psycho part seems to be really critical and annoying according to the expert's first opinion.
