New Zealand wants me a little more :)

My original plan was to stay in New Zealand for two month before going to Singapore, but as any person, knows; original plans hardly work out…

The past two months I been working for the Japanese restaurant and for the Iphone app but any of both were exactly what I was looking for. When I came to NZ I started contacting lot of companies to intern for, most of them were from the list of the 50 NZ growest companies in 2008 (by deloitte), I remember that I have a crush with one of them (I hope I can use crush in this context), the company was also on the list of 2007, growing more than 180% percent per year…. My first step was asked to the members of the boards of directors to be added to my linkedin network; later, I emailed two of them asking for a meeting. After some emails we set up an interview with Simon, who was the director. I was expecting a very serious meeting in a formal office but after I met him at his office, he asked me: have you gotten lunch? No I haven’t… well let´s go to have it, there is an amazing Chinese restaurant no far from here, he completely dislocated me, however the meeting was really good and he was right, the restaurant was amazing.

A week after, Simon, introduced me to Ben, who is the CEO, and we scheduled a second interview. I felt this second meeting was even better, more focus in how I can contribute to the company. By the end, Ben proposed me to present my self to the other 2 partners who were in Auckland.

Last Tuesday, Ben, the other tow partners and my self had the mentioned meeting. I worked with what I found online and what we were discussing during the first two meetings to present some ideas. I think they liked the way that I did it and as soon the meeting was finish it I felt that podia frenar camiones con el pecho.

I´m starting on 13rd January and I have decided to stay in Auckland until the middle of march, I know that possibilities like this don’t came up every day. The company transforms business potential into extraordinary results and I hope I can learn as much as possible from all of them.

All of these doesn’t mean that Chapter 25 has changed, it is still the beginning. Singapore, I really hope I can achieve an international organization to work for. South east Asia I´m looking forward to take my backpack to start traveling all over your different countries, you know all what I been reading about it, I just need to postpone it a little more.

Merry Christmas,
