| Korea...Indonesia??? |
Hey folks, this is Maya writing!
I hijacked Kay's blog because she's really busy studying for exams and she's hardly got any time to sit down and write! Things have been very interesting as of late...check out my blog entry for what's happening with Kay as far as Indonesia is concerned.
Also, she's gotten about four or five phone calls and contacts from recruiters in Korea, and she is extremely excited to begin the process for employment Korea. She has her first phone interview for Korea tomorrow around 8pm I believe.
As you already know, I'm 100% behind her in her decision to go to either Korea or Indonesia (as long as I get the portable DVD player in the end, lol)!
So, wish her luck on her interview tomorrow and keep your fingers crossed!Labels: Indonesia, Korea, Maya, phone interview |

| Phone Interview Moved |
My phone interview has been moved to tomorrow. Guess this gives me more time to think about what they might ask. :)
In other news, I've applied for another position, just in case, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to be at this first school.
Life is good. I went for another (mini) run today with my dog who may or may not join me and Maya in Indonesia.

| *Interview* |
I just received an email from a school saying they want me to interview on Thursday for a position as a teacher.
*whew*
I wasn't very confident with my lack of a finalized degree, but it seems like it shouldn't be a problem.
I wonder what they'll ask me? :)Labels: CV, degree, Indonesia, job search, Medan, phone interview |

| Job search |
I might be heading for Medan, degree pending. It seems that I need to have a copy of the degree by June 30, 2008 to be able to accept employment with a potential school.
I will pass my exam in May, so I'm wondering if Ohio University will be able to give me an apostille degree or a degree bearing transcript, and if that would suffice.
Hmm.
I'm applying to another school in Medan that teaches not only English but Chinese and Japanese. Hopefully, I'll be able to spark some interest because of my Japanese language skills, but who knows?
My lovely doggie Fritz might or might not be able to travel to Indonesia. The United States is not a rabies-free zone, but Indonesia is, presenting some potential customs issues.
I hear a lot of bad things about dogs (and other animals) in Indonesia, specifically that they're unclean and not as good as humans. While, if I had to chose between saving the life of a good human, or saving the life of Fritz, I would always choose the human, it always hurts to hear of people who dislike animals, or a specific type of animal. Dogs are curious, intelligent, fun and one of the best companions Man has. I don't see what the big deal is. Then again, I didn't grow up Indonesia.
PS: I may or may not have a phone interview next Thursday. *crosses fingers*Labels: dogs, ESL, Fritz, Indonesia, Medan, phone interview, restriction, teaching, travel |

| So it begins... |
Last night, Maya was told that she would be getting an offer for employment for a National Plus school in Medan, Indonesia. Today, she received her contract, and she's going over the finer details. There is a high probability that she will take their offer.
Look out, Medan...here we come!
Expect updates sooon. I want to learn as much about Medan as possible!Labels: employment, ESL, Indonesia, Medan, phone interview, results |

At this very moment, as I type these letters, Maya is giving a phone interview with a prospective employer over in Indonesia. It's almost 1 o'clock, but in Indonesia, it's almost 12pm. Or something like that.
I wish her the best. I'm sure she'll do fine. :)Labels: ESL, Indonesia, Maya, phone interview |
