I admit I got a call a moment ago for a vacancy where I was hoping to get invited for an interview, but dreaded not to be considered due to the distance. I admit it's sadly very common in my field over here that often I can't apply due to living too far away, with people only accepting applicants who live within 20-100km to them I admit its in a rehabilitation hospital for people with neurological problems and brain damage after injuries, behind Berlin, up in the north of the country... I admit I applied there as they stated that they always look for people, so I thought to give it a go... I admit I dared to mention to them in my application how I experienced how useful alternative therapy can be for some people and explained to them the example where a woman in her 70s could walk with a stick again, despite that she was given up by the NHS after she was paralysed neck down due to spinal cord compression, as in her case many months of aromatherapy and then followed by OT and then by the physio, did help wonders in her case I admit I was a bit unsure to mention it as I know that often general medicin and alternative medicin aren't big friends, but I thought I might not be considered anyway due to the distance, so I can spread that experience anyway I admit I also explained to them that I am fully aware of the different views in such a field between the medical and social model...after all...I was a lone fighter from the social model in the nursing home during my first placement I admit, I don't doubt that this field isn't something for everyone, which is likely the reason that they are always looking for staff...but in that respect I simply learned a heck of a lot during my time in the UK...more, than I really wanted to know in the first place I admit I will go up there on the 23rd of august to attend the interview on the 24th.... I admit I am very happy indeed I admit my parents weren't impressed about that location, but that doesn't bother me, as my view didn't change, as further away as better
