kareinaIn Norway, at the Geological Survey in Trondheim as a researcher in mineral resource geology
One of my friends who I first met at an SCA event in Stockholm, in 2009, and have kept in touch with ever since, works there, and suggested I apply
She sent me the link of a number of their openings, and I glanced at it, and then thought that none of the openings were a good match for my CV, and besides, Trondheim is really far south, and too big of a city...
...but then she poked me again, and when I said the bit about not thinking the positions were a good match for my CV, she replied: "Not the mineral resource either? (That is my group, btw) Use the soapstone experience.... (our talc and soapstone expert will retire in August)"
So today I looked again at the add, and pressed the "apply" button, just to look at what information they wanted. Next thing I know many hours have elapsed, and I have filled in some long extensive forms with all of the information that is on my CV (and given them a pretty copy too), written a nice application text explaining why I am perfect for the job, and pushed the submit button.
