CHARM career fair

career week in chalmers (really big apparently, karin popo told me it was on tv...). getting a job here, parttime or fulltime, seems to be mycket hard! wish to do my thesis work in another country, or even outside gothenburg is good enough, or simply getting one is fine...

many biggies came, including a few of favco's suppliers and clients... SKF, ABB, Siemens, Maersk, Shell... and when a bored manager from Aker Kvaerner heard that i had a friend who'd been to a conference in stavanger (the city of oil and gas in norway where this company is based...), he was so happy and conjoured a citybook out of thin air and started to talk about the place for 15mins... out of all of that, the only two pieces of info i managed to absorb was that the pay for fresh grad engineers in norway is something more than RM20000 a month... 0_0 10 fold of msian's... and the 2nd being that unemployment rate in norway is 1%... sounds more like the number of ppl who doesnt feel like working... no wonder the norwegian guys in my class are always partying...

btw, happy belated valentine's :) although it's still 14/2 here.
