Job hunting...

Searching for jobs is pretty much the same difficult process as it is in America. Interviews, mock sessions and the like. I had one interview yesterday and it was very professional with a lot of meaningful questions. The lady that interviewed me was from Cerritos, CA and she was young and really pretty, which did not help my nerves. But nonetheless, I have a second interview with them and it's a mock session where I have to create a curriculum and perform in front of them. I hate doing performances with the attention being towards me. I do want to work for them because of their professionalism. It shows me that they're organized and i find it much easier working for a place that has a set plan. As for the second interview which was conducted today through skype, was...lacking. She was reading questions off a piece of paper. Although the questions weren't dumb questions, the last question was a real Head-scratcher. After answering a series of questions of how I would be a good addition to the school, they asked me "how would you be a good addition to the school." I was mind boggled by this question cause I was thinking, didn't I just explain why and how I would be a good candidate the entire time? I don't know what they wanted me to say other than regurgitate everything I just said. And on top of that, she didnt bother to explain anything about the school itself which annoyed me. So I had to ask a few questions which is fine, but usually interviews that I've been to usually explain a litle bit about what I'm getting myself into. She didn't explain at all, which made me think twice about joining their program and really made the place I had my first interview at look really good. Another interview was set for today but I was waiting for his phone call and nada. So we rescheduled next week, but Monday and Tuesday are day off due to 추석 which is equivalent to Thanksgiving in America. So the week is short and there is much to do within that week. Oy!

On Wednesday I met my half-aunt for the first time. She's my grandfather daughter who he had with his first wife. But she passed away and married my now grandmother. It was such a blessing to see her and finally meet her. She's done so much for me thus far in my journey getting here. I'm going to see her again on Monday for the aforementioned 추석 holiday. I'm meeting her husband, her kids and her grandkids as well. Wow. I'm meeting a whole new section of family and I'm excited. I just hope they accept me the way my aunt did. All I could do was hug her at the end of the day for what she did for me. I feel very blessed from God for what He's provided for me thus far. My focus now is on getting a job and finally getting settled into seoul...life.
