Similarly as the Latvian state I have gone bankrupt. Even though I need to work on my project about the human security issues in the Republic of Kosovo/a one year after independence, I spent most of today looking for a job. And I encountered a problem. How to brand myself? How to get rid of certain brands?
When you have finished communication science, you kind of stuck in journalism or PR even if you feel it's not really your thing. Once you have finished economics... hmm... a bit difficult one, it's better if you have finished accounting or marketing - some more practical things usual people understand. When you start combining economics, capital markets, volunteer work, politics, Eurasia and the Balkans, people really start to get confused what to do with you :) I don't blame them as I have problems myself. But why do we need so much to stick some brand or label and to categorize? I think I have a record that I can do a job and do it well, and I learn things fast. Why can't an ex-banker work as a waiter if he or she wants? What's your problem people?
You know - I have never been much into brands

Would it help if I said you are not alone? Most of the young expats I know around suffer from the same problem - they desperately need a job that pays their rent. And then this comes - you are too educated to wash dishes, though you cannot get a position you were trained for. Socialistic order sucks, we need free market!
