P&O

[prepare4trouble]

My sister told me her friend wrote to P&O Ferries to try to get a job on the boat and they kept her letter on file, then wrote to her a few days ago offering her an interview. I wrote to P&A Ferries and got a "no thanks". Charming. Well, Jennie says her friend also included a bit of writing in German and French to prove she had other languages. She's only got GCSE level though. I wonder if that made a difference? Because maybe I should try again, if they liked her GCSEs, they're gonna like my degree...

I could write a bit in German and Spanish, and maybe Dutch too (despite only having studied it for 2 semesters) since they go from here to Rotterdam and Zeebrugge. And I should totally get on with improving my French, I hate that I don't speak it!

And if that doesn't work, the Debenhams and Tesco are apparently hiring.

Yay, write in as many languages as you are confident with. The trick is to sell yourself, sort of like an advert in a magazine :-)

I'm hoping to learn some spanish soon myself :-)

Hmm. Adverts in magazines tend to use photos of sexy people and interesting places to sell stuff. I don't have any of those! :D
I think I'm just gonna go on about how great I am in as many languages at possible! (If I can think of anything to say, I'm not all that great!)

Good look with the Spanish, Es una lengua muy interesante but the grammer looks like a bit of a nightmare at first!
