OHMYGOODNESS.
May. 3rd, 2012 08:44 am An opportunity has come up again. This comes around every 3 years, and this will be the second time I've gone for it. The opportunity is to work in China for three years, taking groups of Australian students on tours and teaching them about the culture.
I have wanted this job since I did the program myself at the age of fourteen. There is nothing in my life that I have wanted for so long. I'm giddy, nervous, anxious, and hoping against hope that they hire me this time.
Adding to my desire for this is the fact that the timing couldn't be better. I'm in the mood for a change of pace and my husband is about to finish his Masters degree. His family have already agreed to look after our cats for a few years if we go overseas. He has some writing projects that he really wants to work on. There is absolutely nothing tying us down, and our plans for the next few years are as flexible as it is possible to be.
This would be absolutely PERFECT for both of us.
I'm trying not to get my hopes up, while still maintaining enough confidence that if I get an interview I go in confident and sure of myself, projecting the confident image that I know is so important for these things.
So wish me luck. If I've ever had a dream, this is it. If I get it, I'll celebrate. If I don't, then expect to see something like this post repeated in another three years!
