Ohhhh ohhhhhh !!!!

It seems Martin has found a job!!!

Yeeeepeeeeeeeeeee! I should not be talking 'bout it before he signs but....
I'm too excited!
Yesterday we had a "down" moment when we both started to say we won't find a job anymore, we'll have to go and live under bridges, etc (s)
hehe
We actually started to think that finding a job won't be that easy (I and my eternal optimism were losing confidence! eeeck!)

Anyway, this morning, Martin found an email from a man he had met last week.
The job offered was "project manager/webmaster for the German Department" (the German department does not exist yet).

When we had first read the offer, the job was attractive but we laughed and thought it was not a serious company.
It's a company that help people to meet, like hundreds of other internet companies.
But we went to visit the webpage and found details about the reference of this company, and it's one of the most serious one in the market.
That has been confirmed when Martin met its manager. It's a start-up managed by youngish ones with already heavy "luggage" in the internet field, who see in this market (national and international meetings) many perspectives.

All their policy is based on the seriousess of their activity (which is pretty unusual in this field). Weirdos have no chance to be customers, that's it.

This company exists since a few months only and they have already about 550 000 members/customers! They've developped a French, Belgian and Spanish version and now wanna start with the German market... web development, web content, web design, web programming, etc... that's what Martin will have to do! That's what he loves!

Martin fitted completly to the offer (an offer I had found by the way :P, I can be proud , no?! hehe), because of his technical knowledge and also fluent German, but we had no hope since apparently they could not pay as much as Martin wanted.

Anyway, after having met other candidates, they finally chose Martin!
For the first three months (that we call "start months"), he won't be paid as much as expected but they agree to renegociate after.
And because it's so interesting for Martin, we think it's ok.

Martin has to meet them again, but...and it's the cherry on the cake... he would start beginning of November!
That means no stress for the birth! Martin will have all the time he *needs* with us!
That's just wonderful **~~* * *^^* * *

(keeping crossed bits till he signs though)

Oh, by the way, at the moment I'm typing this bloggie, Martin has a rendez-vous with another company another start-up near les Halles.
We thought he could still go there, you never know.. when guud vibes are on your side, it's better to take advantage of dem :P
