-it's funny because when i was in college like 6 years back, it has always been a "dream" for me to go to Switzerland to take up a hotel management course, i've seen the brochures with the wonderful and breathtaking scenery and i was telling myself, how nice it would be if i could go to switzerland one day...(FYI, my family couldn't afford to send me to study here, i went to a school which was half-sponsored by government instead and a diploma for 2 years was just CHF1700.) Since then, i have learnt that it is not so much of which prestigious school you go to when you are trying to land yourself a job (at least in my field: hospitality), it is more of the "whole package", my first job was as a humble butler at Raffles Hotel, Singapore, pay was meagre...but i stuck through it for 2 years and moved on for better position & pay of course, met a lot of people in my job and my current boss was one of them.
He liked the way i worked so much and have offered me to work for him here in Geneva...
Now tell me, am i not a very blessed individual??
There is no way at all that i can afford to come here by myself or to look for a job here myself, but because i had wanted it so badly, so so badly,
God made it happened. And i'm forever grateful.
what a great inspiring story! thanks for sharing!
