Will Work For Travel

When I finally decided I was ready mentally, physically, and spiritually to move forward in my life, I decided to step outside of the box and apply for a teaching position out of the country.

I love to travel and I love teaching. So why not combine the two and experience new places, cultures, and people?

With my decison made, I Google  some things and found many recruiting companies that helped educators find jobs abroad.

After selecting one, I filled out a profile, uploaded my resume, pic and certificate, and got my references. I was emailed within 24 hours and moved forward. I had a phone interview and then begin the process of getting the necessary documents together.

Ther were some delays and setbacks and I continued to look for employment in the USA-(GA and AZ).

Finally, I received an email and phone call about attending an in person interview to be held in three locations. I wanted to be first and chose NY., there was Chicago, IL and Houston, TX.

Getting there took some doing, but with faith, prayer and a good friend in my corner, I made it there safely. Another friend helped me out by talking to me and encouraging me as well.

The interview was by Skype. I was shocked and surprised.
Oh well. I made the best of it and held my tongue. I answer d the questions to the best of my ability.

I met some new people and felt good about everything. I got to walk around in Times Square, ate pizza and rode the subway and bus.

Heading back to airport and made it home by midnight.
I felt drained ad if I had been on a rollercoaster ride. I slept hard and the next day my offer letter was in my inbox.

 I gave thanks to God and let two people know what had occurred.

Now it was time to move forward with the authentication process. It was six steps to completion and I finished it within 6 weeks.

I started telling some of my friends and family.

Now I  am
waiting for my email with my golden ticket confirming my departure date and time.

They say it can be anywhere from August until October.

Apparently there is no rhyme or reason how one is selected to be in the first group to depart for the sandbox.

Praying and waiting.
