Singapore, here I come

Thursday, 15 Feb 2007 | Journal

With all this excitement about the ‘do good for my birthday’ thing, one would almost forget that I’m also in this region to get a job or at least get some money coming in. I was in Hong Kong a couple of weeks ago, I will be flying to Singapore in 10 days.

I did my research thing and came up with week 9, as there are a few interesting social events organized in this week by different Chambers of Commerce. I also noticed an interesting seminar worth visiting. More importantly perhaps, is the ‘Career 2007’ event that starts on the Thursday of that week and I think that would certainly be worth visiting. From my first gathering of event data earlier this week, this seemed like the most interesting week in the near future. I will continue to look for events to visit in this week, I just sent out a whole batch of emails to organizations to see if there is anything else that might be interesting for me.

I also have a few meetings set up with people I have been introduced to but have not yet met. As always, the goal is to meet new people of which hopefully a few will be interesting contacts to keep in touch with. Perhaps not only for direct employment, maybe only because they are nice people. Because thats important too.
