Jessica Royle has had an interview for a post In Vienna with L K W WALTER. The interview was in German and she was told her German was very good. The job requires Russian and she is speaking Russian quite well. She will graduate from Bristol in 2022.
Sorry I missed your talk via MGS Global but I have signed up for future talks.
Best wishes
Brian.
Dear Brian,
Thanks for this. I have not seen that interview – do you have a link? And do sign up for future talks, of which I hope there will be many – although live talks are the best.
