Well it's been a strange 24 hours. Last night I received a delayed message from a teacher who just recently left the school I accepted a position with. The teacher told me the school was a difficult work environment and that I shouldn't take the job. I asked the teacher to elaborate on specifics so I could be prepared, and am waiting on a response...
BUT
In the meantime, I received a call from my recruiter that the school had low enrollment and couldn't hire new faculty, so I'm off the hook for the "difficult" work environment! I love when issues work themselves out without me doing anything!
Now it's back to the drawing board, though it seems very likely that I'll be overseas very soon regardless. I'm looking at other schools across Korea, and this evening I applied to Ukraine and Ghana, and I'll keep looking. I wanted to be in Eastern Europe from the beginning, so if Ukraine works out, I may have wasted money on my online Korean language program!! Oh well, Russian is spoken in more countries, so it could pay off in the long run. Whatever happens, I'm still excited about the whole thing, and the job hunting is coming more easily now after a month of reading forums and blogs, and going back and forth with recruiters.
I'm sure things will work out in the end, and I'll wait as patiently as I can to find the right fit!
Russian, yes please! Then you can teach me ;) I miss you lots my dear don't forget to let me know what you're doing!

ReplyDeleteGood luck with all that "eastern-european" thing you have if Sk doesn't work out and maybe we'll see each other some middle point - let's say a beer in vienna.
Fingers really crossed,
