Aalsmeer - a nice place, likey very much. Stayed at the Aalsmeer hotel for a while.Originally posted by Mich the Tester View PostIndeed. I am highly motivated for this project as it will allow me to expand my experience of the restaurants in the vicinity of your office.
Restaurant Aan de Poel
Restaurant De Halve Maen Aalsmeer Tel:0297-324528
It will also give me an excellent opportunity to top up the fund I have been setting aside for the purpose of acquiring an Aston Martin.

Motivation bla bla
More and more often, agents are asking, or saying their clients are asking for, a ´motivation´ story to accompany the CV. Mine is usually a bit of bla bla about setting up the test program to support the project, being ´pragmatic´ and not just sticking to text books, coaching juniors while being strict on standards of work and deadlines etc etc bla bla bla bla
