January - I began a 6 week contract with a marketing/lead generation company where I was working 35 hours a week from home - making calls to the US and Europe, trying to arrange meetings. Not the best job in the world, but I earned a good chunk of change. Still working my 6 week contract, I ventured out and applied for another position where I would work from home again - this time, being a website administrator adding local events and activities to a family-based website (working when I want and for how long I want - not too shabby).
Mid-February - contract ends and I am left with my 1 part time position. This works out well since we are headed off on a 2 week trip. I will find a job when I get back.
March - Back in action and on the search for a new job. Still living off what I made from my previous position, I am set for a little while longer. End of the month rolls around and I e-mail a woman at the Inspection Académique and ask if there are any English teaching positions available. Luckily, there were!
April - Go in for my interview (which was more of a test.... to test my ENGLISH). Needless to say, I passed and get a call the next day to see if I can start on Monday.
So there you go folks... I am now an English teacher - teaching children from the ages of 6-12 years, while still maintaining my second job working for the family web site.
Did I mention that I get Wednesdays off AND get paid for holidays? And ummm well France has a lot of holidays: April 20-May 1, May 8, May 21, June 1. I've had some free time.
