Initially, the conversation with the intermediary went well, says the 33-year-old Belgian toThe Latest News : " For me it was already three-quarters done deal. I would be invited for a personal interview. But when I said I would come to work by train, it was suddenly done. "Sorry, but it stops here and now," she told me. She said I had the perfect profile, but she could not accept me because of the unreliability of the NMBS. If there was a strike, I would not get in the office, ushered it. "Moreover, Coun experienced in the past that commuter rail can sometimes create problems : " It is of course true that there are often problems on the track and that's why I sometimes came too late. That was never a reason for a dismissal or sanctions, but I felt that it was always a point of annoyance. "
