Working in New York - so exciting!!!!!

My first week working in New York was so happy and surreal at the same time. I am lucky enough to be able to walk to work and to work one block away from the Chrysler building. 

I am still amazed and in shock!!!!! It seems I am in a movie with all that craziness and yellow taxis around :) 

The Chrysler building is my favorite building in the whole New York. Can't get bored of looking at it. It was the tallest building in the world for 11 months, when it was surpassed by the Empire State Building in 1931. Now, it is New York's 4th tallest sky scrapper alongside the new New York Times Building (By Renzo Piano), on the 8th Avenue (between 40th and 41st).

I love the Chrysler's building Art Deco style and its elegant lines. Every time I go for my lunch break I keep looking up!!!!! Just to stare at it :) Awesome!!!!

Feeling very, very grateful and happy!!!!! 

Life in New York has truly began and I like it!!!!!!!

Phrase of the day :)

Life has been so hectic this week that I haven't had time to write here :( But it is all for a good reason though. I have been interviewing and full of hope I will get my dream job in New York. Fingers crossed!!!!!I am very happy and feeling very positive!!!!!!! Hope I will have good news to share with you very soon.

In the meantime:

Have a lovely day!!!!

Job Hunting in NYC - Fingers crossed!!!!!

Since I have received my beloved EAD I have been job hunting like a headless chicken! I am literally all over the place! Can't wait to find a job and finally start a real life in New York. It has been nearly 2 weeks and so far nothing very exciting has come my way :( Hope it will change very soon...Fingers crossed people!!!

I am aware the current economic situation is not great, but we can't give up, can we ;-)? I am cold calling, networking and also having crazy business ideas to do something on my own as a Plan B. The fact I am competing with people who have experience in the US makes a massive difference too. So far I am using sites such as Career Builder, Monster and Craigslist. If someone else has any other suggestions I would be delighted to hear from you :)

In London I was working as a Recruitment Consultant for the last 2 years. Ironically now, I find myself in the other side. I am desperately wishing that a lovely Recruiter will take a shine to me and will decide to help!!!!!

Also, this week I have been to the The New York Public Library career center. They offer free advice, workshops and loads of information about different industries. It is worth having a look if you are in the job hunting process in NY. The address: 188 Madison Ave at 34th St; 212-592-7000.

Just need a direction :)

Hope I will have good news very soon!!!! Can't stand being just a housewife anymore :(

I am sure the best thing is going to happen in the end.

Hope you all have an amazing weekend!

Love,
