back in december 2009, i made a consequential decision. for a number of reasons, i quit my erasmus internship at a socialdemoractic institution in london. i still vividly remember my feelings at this day: london was grey, london was wet, and i was feeling lost, small and vunerable. i was really afraid that my decision could have been wrong, that i wouldnt find a new or a better place and that all in all, this could be the biggest mistake ever.
only two days after, i managed to find a new potential internship place, had a job interview an hour later and voila, was given the job as an intern at the campaign office of a lib dem candidate for the british parliament.
i had a wonderful time at this office and never regret my decision. i even returned to their office for the final weeks of the campaign in may 2010.
as this time was so defining for me, back in berlin i decided to write my master’s thesis on the general election campaign. needless to say, i graduated with honours ;)
then i got two job offers in germany, both mostly because of my experiences in london. one at the HQ of a party and the other one at the parliamentary office of an MdB, same party. it wasnt easy to decide which offer was better, but in the end, i opted for the one at the HQ, thinking that there would be more possibilities to develop. although actually, i back then thought that the parliamentary one would have been the easier way for me.
so i started working at the HQ back in september 2010 and it turned out to be completely the right decision. also, three weeks after i started, one of political leaders took notice of my work. and he asked me if he could read my masters thesis. from this point on, i worked really closely for him.
now in december 2011, this person decided to resign.
the same day, he offered me a job at his parliamentary office. now guess what i did. of course i agreed.
isnt this strange? looking back, it all makes perfect sense.
