This really hurts
Last week I had a really good job interview as a night porter in a very fine hotel.
But during the job interview the hotel manager and me found out that the law in my country doesn't give me permission to work in another job.
We agreed to have a last phone call in this week about the job.
I have called her right now to reject the job. I said in kind words to her that I really would love to take this job but the laws are not on my site. The hotel manager got furious - not about me but about the laws which make it in generally very difficult to lead her hotel properly.
And she said AGAIN that she would have loved it to employ me. Oh WOW!
When I was young I tried so many, many times to get a job in a hotel, in an office or anywhere else. But nobody wanted me because I was "too young and without any experience." I was the one who was always rejected in "the world of work."
And now, suddenly, I am the one who has to reject a job offer. But I can't say that I'm happy about it. 😞
In young years I studied as a hotel receptionist. I was a very good student but it seemed to be destiny that I never got a work in a hotel.
But I like challenges.
And to work in a fine hotel would be definitely a challenge for me:
- Will I really feel well in such a luxurious place? Because I am a very simple person and I am living 1-2 weeks from that price what a hotel room costs there for only one night
- As a social worker I am used to handle different clients: Criminals, prostitutes, abused women, kids, people who are addicted to drugs and alcohol, homeless people and asylum seekers. But would I be able to deal with wealthy, rich people who are "used" to have a "certain standard", who express theirselves in a very different way as my "simple" clients do?
Or would I fail miserably as a night porter in this fine hotel - the finest in my town.
I really like challenges and I would have loved to find out if I worked as a night porter in a luxus hotel as good as in my job as a social worker.
Well, probably I will never find out THIS.
It really has hurt me today that I HAD TO reject this job "officially" because the laws in my country don't allow me a job more... 😞
