Sweden's most Swedish job (John's second pitch)

[TheSupercargo]

Thanks, Anders! This (together with the second part of my marathon fifth video) is my favourite too. Thanks also for the vote of confidence. I sat down with a diary this morning and worked backwards from next Saturday. I don't think STF can seriously expect to have everything ready for GO on 6/6 unless they hold their screenings at the beginning of next week, so if I've not heard from them by Monday evening I shall assume I'm not in the running. It's been fun though!

[Dubbelnaturen]

Now that they've announced that the application process has ended, and you're heading for Stockholm, I'm kind off guessing you got it John. You deserve it to say the least. Good luck och bon voyage!

Well, now the dust has settled, you know that was just a blind! In fact my wife and I'd planned the visit (with a friend of hers who comes from Roslagen) weeks ago. In fact, I didn't even get called for the 'screentest'. On the other hand, as I was in the area, I did show up on the 6th to Centralen and played the role of "good loser". (Something we Brits used to be rather good at.) None of the other losers were there, though, so I got some more free publicity.

Jag har sett alla dina filmklipp, undantaget fiskmåsarna (!), och jag måste säga att det här är min favorit av dina pitches. Du har en sympatisk approach som inte blir ointressant. Kanske är det ditt gentlemannamässiga-manér som avväpnar och kan få främlingar att öppna upp, eller humorn och humöret såsom Christer tror. Jag gillar't. Jag tycker du är värd jobbet och jag vet att du skulle sköta det ordentligt. Hoj!

Hi again Anders! I replied to you here but for some reason missed seeing your video. A serious oversight! I apologise. Have seen it now, rated it excellent and written you a comment. Good luck!

[MrVindspel]

Jag har sett dina tre videos och njutit. Faktum är att jag tycker din "brytning" ger en extra krydda. Den underliggande humorn höjer mitt humör. Och det vill inte säga lite.

Christer

[TheSupercargo]

Thank you Christer. My argument is that if I had a 'sidekick' and didn't have to do everything myself, I'd have more time to think of the right things to say ... I'd also have someone to _ask_ about the right things to say!

[CarlMikaelEkman]

I want you to have this job now! Choose him!

Jag såg din tredje pitch på svenska nu och var överaskad över hur bra din svenska är. Efter att ha läst intervjun i The Local så hade jag väntat mig något helt annat. Det är bra att vara ödmjuk men du får inte dra ner förväntningarna för mycket. Jag tror att du skulle vara riktigt bra för det här.

Lycka till!

[TheSupercargo]

Det var mycket snällt sagt! Särskilt om språket. Kan du övertyga min fru? Angående min svenska, ord som mördare har använts i vårt hus den senaste tiden!

[FredrikSvensson1979]

Ödmjuk och trevlig att lyssna på. Klart bättre än de flesta bidrag.

Lycka till

[TheSupercargo]

Tack för det! There are a few rather good applications that have come in the last 24 hours though, so I think my chances are fading. :-(

[FredrikSvensson1979]

@TheSupercargo: I agree, a few good ones has dropped in but that doesn't necessarily mean anything seeing as there is no way to know what STF is actually looking for.

I value being down to earth (which you have plenty of) more than fancy production. All you can do really is to make an effort and to be yourself and hope it'll take you all the way.

[TheSupercargo]

Thanks for your encouragement. We'll see what happens on the 27th.

[madamkardemumma]

Trevlig!

[TheSupercargo]

Tack tack! :-)

[wa5tre1]

You got the lips and the sound in sinc. Yay!

[TheEisbein]

Skön film, du är underhållande!

[TheSupercargo]

Jag bugar och tackar!
