I now have a job in Sweden! Nokia has delighted me with an offer last week, which I promptly accepted, adding another tick to my check-list.
For those of you who are really curious, here is the whole story. You might remember a while back I had a very positive experience interviewing for Nokia, peaking when they invited me to visit their offices at their expense. When I returned I was convinced it was a perfect match and my job worries are over. Unfortunately no good story is that straightforward, and my spirits were temporarily crushed. I've been looking for another job ever since, without much going on: Sweden gets really quiet over the summer.
That all changed last Wednesday when I received an email and making my day. I was offered the job I originally interviewed for, the contract followed soon and we've already set the start date: August 26th! Needless to say I'm as excited as ever, looking forward to our departure.
It looks like everything is falling into place and getting ready for our arrival. I feel we have now taken care of two of of three biggest obstacles (job and housing) with only Swedish language still standing. But don't worry, that doesn't mean I will run out of things to write about. We now have some bureaucracy to tackle and in less than three weeks time you can expect lots of New to Lund! posts :)
Amazingly that's not the most significant thing that happened to us last week. We've gotten married!
