Time for changes


Hi, guys! Well, again! I have not written for a while but there is always something new I have to do.

I am currently at the beginning of writing my coursework assignments for International Management and People Management. The People Management report, which I need to submit on 1st May, seems to be quite straightforward.

Unfortunately, I really worry about my IM essay. It took me a while to figure out what it is all about. It seems to be pretty easy but it requires a looooooooooot of reading. Actually, I am in the middle of the research which I started a week ago. I should have started a long time ago but, you know, university is not only about studying. At least, I hope so:)
Research
Well, I guess you must wonder what an academic essay or report really looks like. I decided to upload my Marketing assignment and Management Concept report. Both awarded an A:) Honestly, I really enjoyed my Marketing assignment, since I was a team leader of the group preparing a marketing plan of Range Rover Evoque. This involved setting objectives, sharing duties, informing about deadlines, leading discussion and motivating the team. You can find it in my post here.

Oh, do you remember about my competition? Unfortunately, I did not make it to the final but I was interviewed by the BIG Partnership (the biggest PR agency in the UK outside London) and the article has been already published.


I am so happy because another RGU student was in the final and had exactly the same idea that I had. Read about his success, please:) RGU student's success

Now, I have to let you know about two big changes in my life. I have recently moved into a new flat which is located just 5-minute-walk from my University:) I share it with four Polish guys who are really cool. Really clever guys, two of them work in oil and gas companies so they are a really good “source of information” about the real business world:)

And another big change… I have just started working in Grosvenor Casino which is a part of The Rank Group plc (“a leading European gaming and leisure business. Rank’s principal market and headquarters are in Britain, where it operates Grosvenor Casinos (35 casinos), Mecca Bingo (98 bingo clubs) and Rank Interactive (online gaming and betting). In addition, Rank operates in Spain as Top Rank España (11 bingo clubs) and in Belgium as Grosvenor Casinos (two casinos). It is also listed on the London Stock Exchange and is a constituent of the FTSE 250 Index.” Wikipedia).




I have already had my 16-hour-induction which was extremely professional and covered topics such as Health and Safety, Emergency Evacuation, Bar training, Alcohol licencing, playing Roulette and Black Jack (my favourite part), and dealing with customers. It seems to be a great place to work for a student. It is a huge company that operates in most of the cities in the UK. Why do not you create your own profile on their website and maybe apply one day here?
I am so excited and cannot wait for my first shift on Friday:D:D. I am gonna be a Food & Beverage Host (Bar and Waiting Person) which seems to be quite interesting and challenging.
Unfortunately, I had to leave my job in a Japanese and Korean Restaurant. Nothing can describe how I miss my ex-colleagues and amaaaaazing food. If you are in Aberdeen, go to Yorokobi by CJ (WEBSITE). I have been to many restaurant in Aberdeen and this one is undoubtedly my favourite. Oh, I love their Chicken Teriyaki, Chicken Katsu, Dolsot Bibimbap, Philadelphia Rolls and Yakisoba Noodles. Oh, I have to stop here, cause I have started crying (joke):)

Did I tell you that I love food? You HAVE to visit my friend’s blog about cooking, which is absolutely brilliant Blog (click to access her blog). She is so good at cooking. We had such wonderful dinner before her flight to Poland for Eastern. I cannot believe that it was me not her who has worked in the kitchen for the past ten months.

Oh, I had unforgettable Eastern breakfast with my friends in a hall of residence. So much fun:) I wish my family had been with me in Aberdeen on that day, but you cannot have everything.

Oh, People ask me if they can comment in Polish. Obviously, you CAN! This blog is written in English as it is visited by people from all over the world. Most of them do not speak Polish.
Anyway, I think it is high time I uploaded some photos of my beloved Polish city, Warsaw. Isn’t it beautiful?

What else? I am going to Glasgow on Monday, 15th April but cannot “tell” you more. Just wish me luck!:D

I am waiting for you comments (Polish, English or German, please). Wish you luck!

  2. Witaj, Dawidzie. Znalazłam Twojego bloga przez stronę UCAS. Jeżeli miałbyś kiedyś chwilkę, żeby odpowiedzieć na moje pytania, byłabym baaaardzo wdzięczna. W Internecie naprawdę mało jest satysfakcjonujących mnie informacji (a może google mnie nie lubi), a chciałabym przeczytać opinię kogoś, kto naprawdę liznął tamtej kultury. Pozdrawiam, Dominika :)
