Ringing in 2012

03.01.2012

2011 proved to be an eventful year with lots of up and down in my MBA journey, but it is still a positive year. 10 highlights of the year, in no particular order or priority:

  1. Graduated from HSG – MBA
  2. Awesome internship term (at Sulzer)
  3. Got my Swiss work permit (though short-term) and got to work at Sulzer again
  4. Sold my condo in Toronto
  5. Met my parents again as well as the crew in Toronto over the summer
  6. Acquired new friends in Switzerland (classmates, colleagues and social network) and had wonderful time with them
  7. Started with my volunteer work as Sponsoring Team Lead with the PMI Switzerland Chapter
  8. Got my Swiss Driver License
  9. Featured in Sulzer employee videos, which is expected to be publicly posted on Sulzer’s new Career site by mid 2012 (I will post the link once the site is launched)
  10. Started my German class at B1 level

Overall, things have happened as I expected at the start of the year, though the uncertainty of the work permit did throw things off a little bit. This success was contributed much in part by the support of friends, family and colleagues. Thank YOU!!

My top 3 priorities of this year: having a permanent job, fixing a place to stay (preferrably Zurich area) and visiting Vietnam.

Say Hello to 2012! Wish all of my blog readers a new year with lots of laughter and successes.
