And so part two of my adventures in Paris has officially begun. On Wednesday I called the company I was supposed to start working for and was told to come in on Friday to meet everyone. Little did I know that Friday would be my first full day of work but it worked out well and I’m glad to be employed. I’m glad I thought that might happen and planned accordingly!
The office is in a great location, across the street from the Louvre. It’s definitely different than any office I’ve ever been in because instead of having cubicles there is a large open space with shared desks. I’m still not convinced that’s the most productive way to work but I’m sure it will be a good way to meet my co-workers. Ironically, my first real job outside of the Pharma industry has me working on a project dedicated to conducting market research on Pharmaceutical & Biotech Companies. At least I have some background knowledge to work off of!
After day one I can honestly say that the next few months are going to be quite the experience. I’m excited, though, because it looks like I’ll continue to improve my French after all. At least I hope so considering I don’t know how to change the language on my work computer.
Instead of acclimating myself to Paris, I look forward to gaining a better perspective on what it’s like to function “as a real person” in France.
