Work picking up
Aug. 27th, 2007 11:10 am(Wow... has it really been 3 days since I last posted anything? I think that's the longest I've ever gone, with the exception of Pennsic. I guess that means my life's been pretty slow, huh?)
So. It looks like I'll finally have some employment within a few weeks. I'll be teaching for a new company, ELAM. They're a private ESL company, much like ILSC, but they're geared exclusively towards corporate teaching. The pay is comparable to ILSC's corporate division (where I've been teaching since November), but there are a number of advantages: all my students get the textbook (no massive photocopy campaigns), I get the teachers' manual, the textbooks are all geared towards business situations, etc. In other words, there's a lot more resources I can take advantage of. I'm already booked for a 10-week Monday/Wednesday lunchtime contract, and I'm just waiting for confirmation on a Tuesday/Thursday one as well.
In terms of Dawson, they still don't know how many hours they can give me, though they're hoping it'll be more than last semester, maybe as much as 10. Though I'd wanted to give them first priority, I couldn't afford to put off contacting ELAM any more, so I simply told Dawson I wouldn't be available at lunchtimes. It should still be workable, I think. They want me to work for them, I want to work for them... it'll work out. (Pardon the pun.)
Anyway, now to get back to pruning my filing cabinet. Fun, fun, fun.
