Week 9 the 14th of May

This morning I once again pass by my previous employer restaurant to have a cup of coffee and a little chat. The government announced that some restrictions will be lifted and some will be eased. This means for hospitality that restaurants, bars, and cafés can open from the 1st of June only if they can provide the 1 ½ m rule. It came to me as a surprise as my previous employer offered me a job at the new restaurant which he intended to open at the beginning of this year. He invested a lot of money into it and is keen on trying to see if he can make the work in these hard times. I told him that I’m interested and when he will have a concrete plan ready that he has to reach out to me so we can discuss the details. 

I had a video call meeting with my assistant Floor de Groot and one of my peers Merel Abels. During which we discussed how my internship is going and how Merel is doing these days, I really like that we have this video called sessions because I am also interested in how other people are doing these days and you can ask questions if you have any doubts or do not know how to proceed with writing your journal. During the session, I figured out that I had approached PLP’s wrong and that there is a lot of space for improvement which I will focus on from now on. 

Last week I deleted old job offers on vision factories official website LinkedIn and Facebook, today my supervisor assigned me to search for all the old job advertisement which I can possibly find online from vision factory and make sure to delete all of them. This is because vision factory only posts vacancies on websites like LinkedIn indeed and social media. Therefore all other vacancies from the company are invalid and may cause misunderstanding. I have to confess I spend a lot of time searching on my browser for vacancies and I hardly found anyone which had me wonder what my supervisor was talking about. It turned out it is all about the words you use in the search engine which is a valuable lesson for the next time. For example, instead of searching ‘vacancies vision factory’ in Google, you should also try other things such as ‘job vision factory’ or ‘employing vision factory’ which increases your chances of finding what you’re looking for. After finding some of the old vacancies it was very hard to access the profile from which the vacancy has been posted since my supervisor himself did not do that in the work employees who do not work for the company anymore. For the most part, I managed to delete some, and those who I did not manage to delete I emailed the website/company on which the vacancy is posted if it would be possible to delete it.
