Hi everybody how are you all doing at the moment in the UK. This is my first blog for a long while. To be totally truthful this winter has not gone to plan at all for me. I spent almost all of it job hunting and spending my savings! I had planned to ski, travel a bit and work for winter but it didn't work out that way which is very annoying but that life as they say!
Winter is still around in Queenstown at the moment, plenty of snow on the mountains and I am trying to ski on my days off from work. But spring is around some days, it is certainly getting warmer. I just was not expecting the job hunt to be such a challenge for winter. I had enough interviews to sink a battleship but just didn't seem to get that final bit of lucky until I had an interview from Crowne Plaza Hotel. http://www.dalman.co.nz/index.cfm/1,15,273,0,html
I got a job as a Concierge or Porter. The pay is ok but currently I'm not getting a many hours as I would hope so I am keeping my eye out for another jobs coming up, though I am getting settled into the roll now! Crowne Plaza is part of the InterContinental Hotels Group, which means if at some point I decide to move on a transfer to another hotel in another part of the world is a possibility! I do feel though that long term hospo is not for me!
On the subject of Rugby World Cup 2011 tickets, I manage to get in Scotland Pool packs from me and rob which is awesome news! The RWC is be held September next year all around New Zealand!
For summer I am looking at moving out of Reavers Lodge and finding a room in a house. My Irish flatmate is heading back home in Oct-Nov time so have a bit of time to find somewhere. Quite a few ppl are moving on or heading home after winter, maybe I should do that lol, i certainly would have had more options had I manage to get a job earlier but that's the way it goes!
Anyway i am really sorry I have been so slack with the blogs and the update but to be truthful not that much interesting things have happened during my winter! I hope you are all well and looking forward to winter!
lol
