Serbian company called CAR:GO is rising in popularity. It's like Uber with a different name basically. So now the taxi drivers are blocking the entire city in protest. Assholes.

If I read it correctly, @Ariana, Uber came to Bulgaria and then left shortly, also because of taxi protests?
 
Ubers practices are illegitimate. Uber is also a horrible company. The only thing going for 'em is that taxi services in most of the world suck and are being overpaid. I loathe both; taxi lobbies want you to believe that someone should build up a career by driving a car and that driving a car with passengers is something difficult and should be only done by "certified experst", Uber is a silicon valley bullshit company that is abusing the Internet to push their own business over state imposed red tapes. I don't like red tapes per se but Uber is just a fucking american company and I don't want american companies (or anyone else for that matter) bypassing local regulations just because it's internet.
 
Today I made my first landings :) (At least according to my instructor ... and I assume he knows who landed the plane). Due to local regulations we had to make "stop&go" landings today rather than touch&go, so slightly higher ground time/air time ratio and we only managed five circuits. But during those five circuits I got to experience both crosswind on takeoff, extending downwind due to other traffic, and sideslip on final because we were a bit high.

On the fourth approach, I thought the instructor was still helping, but once we had slowed down he told me that that one was mine :clap: And then we made one more round. The last landing of the day saw a slight bounce on the main gear, so that one must certainly have been mine! From the right seat came the dry comment "you're not getting one landing per bounce, you know".

Next up is the progression check, which is the first time I'll fly with a different instructor.

Uber has complied with every regulation here that has been imposed on them. They exist in a space that regulations didn't consider, that's the evolution of business.

Plus I hate cabbies.
 
Did you ask the generic interview questions?

"Give me an example of when you've worked in a team and what were the main challenges you faced?"

"What do you know about this company?"

"What is your main weakness?"
 
My first ever job interview was a group interview for a Christmas temp job as a supermarket (Asda). It was so awkward because I went in there with a Masters degree and felt so out of place. There was a 16 year old still at high school and a woman who normally works in a beauty salon. I didn't get that job, which I am actually quite glad about. The next interview I had was for a proper career job which fit my qualifications, but I didn't get that one either.

There's a bunch of those questions, then we ask situational questions, like "Give us a time where you got negative feedback from a supervisor and how you dealt with it".
 
Well, you may think I'm making this up, but I've never had negative feedback from a superior. How can I answer that?
