Yvonne's Story
Life
I had a great two years at UofL. For those that know, I am still together with Darrell Mennie who also went to the UofL, he was studying Philosophy and Psychology there.
I graduated on September the 11th 2001, which for me was one of those days in your life that a graduation or anything else doesn't matter. I did switch my major to International Marketing Mgt in the last year.
At the moment I work for Unilever in the finance department, you'd figure why finance, but when I graduated all the marketing jobs were demanding at least 7 years of experience so I fell back on my original education.
Darrell and I live in Rotterdam, the Netherlands and are very happy together. We are about to buy an apartment in Rotterdam centre. We do not have any children or pets yet, but we still have time.
At the moment next to my job I am taking a firefighter cours...Expand for more
e, this so I can join the firebrigade for Unilever. Unilever has their own firebrigade at one of the factories in the Netherlands. I am stationed there and volunteered. I am having a lot of fun with this. I am also a certified first aider.
So right now I do not have much spare time, but I am having a lot of fun!
Workplace
My work career has been quite turbulent.
I had five jobs in six years, but finally I am settling down with Unilever.
I started with ING until they reorganised and last in is first out.
Then went on to Nespresso, but there was no growth there for me.
After that went to NCR and had a conflict with one of the managers.
Then I went on to Lyondell and had a great time working on project with them, but there was a headcount stop so they were not able to give me a permanent position.
And now Unilever, which I enjoy very much.
