INTERVIEW DAY

I had 2 interviews today! 
What a day. It was exciting but also nerve racking!!! WOW!
I didn't realize how looking for a job can be quite a challenge when you are in another country. But especially when the area you are looking for is not your forte.
The first location I went to did not feel very right. I made 2 mistakes on the application and it sucked. Am I even right to teach English??? Yikes. They were welcoming but not a happy welcome, they didn't seem exciting about being there....they were just a company who is very business oriented. I don't know if I can teach Business English.
Jan and I strolled around Stuttgart to kill some time before my next interview and teaching.
My next interview was great. I had plan this teaching for a week now as the company called to make an appointment with me. The 1st company didn't. They just sent an email. Which is how different companies be when they hire. Just like back at home.
If the company does not fit your values or the interview doesn't go right, then it might not be the best company to work for. So for the 1st company, the interview didn't feel right. It wasn't comfortable at all. The topics discussed was different. Not the same.
The 2nd interview was perfect. I had a 45 min lesson planned for it so I was ready. A bit nervous since my 1st interview didn't go that well. I had the lesson then the interview. The lesson went well. It was perfect.
After the interview, I was getting all set up!!!! TO WORK ON MONDAY!!! WHOOHOOO. I got my first assignment and I hope to get more. What is next in store for me!!! :)
