"I'm Catia Gomes, Portuguese and living in Glasgow. I was
thinking if I should start saying how I am but actually, I think is
more interesting and fun if I say what I do and then you try to
guess or ask me more things.
At the moment, I'm working as Account Manager for Samsung in
Bellcom. Why did I choose this job? Because I like to talk, build
good relationships, I'm very ambitious, and more then anything, I
love new challenges.
That is why I feel very bored if I work in a job with no goals
to achieve…
Talking about challenges, my biggest challenge was to leave
Portugal where I have my family and friends. Leaving my comfort
zone to come and live alone and by myself in a country completely
different in many ways.
So far, I won more then I lost…I have good friends from many
nationalities that I made here in Scotland, I'm also taking the
advantage of living here to study so, I'm taking a second degree in
the University and, the most important of all, I'm working in
Bellcom.
Where I also made friends, I work in something that I really
like and, we all have opportunities to show our best and grow.
Living abroad is really cool, I'm here for 1.5 year and I can't
get enough.
Everyday I discover something new, and I also learn a lot from
colleagues from different nationalities- Scandinavians, Italians,
French, Spanish, Germans, and British.
There is so much to say about it…but I will leave it to another
opportunity..."
