Just got this nice book Never eat alone which already in the beginning kicks off with a nice qoute “a goal is a dream with a deadline” reminded me to focus again on what I want (and to tell you about it, noting works as good as peer presure)

So goal for second half next year is to get a sponsored (foreign work visas with exception of the greencard need to be sponsored) job in in the (new)media industrie in Silicon Alley in New York (The clearer the goal, the easier it is). As far as I could find it’s not that easy, because strangly enough the States do not like ‘talented, high-educated, well motivated’ foreigners, for reasons still unclear, but easy goals are too easy anyway.

So, if anyone knows anyone who has experience with or working in New York or getting a (sponsored) visa to work in the States, let me know.

And second question, if anyone is up for lunch in London, or in Amsterdam from 1 to 7 july, drop me a line

update: apparently there is something like a J1 exchange visa, allowing people from other countries to exchange for work experience with people from the US. Also found this wonderful program: MountBatten I’m still looking for the catch here, sounds quite good (besides that I would have to work fulltime for a year, for a trainee pay, but hey, its America)
