Yay for more employment!

Just back from the interview at Vanier's language school (a separate institution within the college). I had two interviewers, the head of the language school and the head of the learning centre. Suffice to say, it went very, very well. They told me so, point blank: "You're the first person we've interviewed all week where we haven't been holding our heads in our hands. You nailed every question. You've really got a sense of your teaching method, and it perfectly matches ours."

So they offered me work.

Specifically, they offered me two evening courses, of which I took one: an advanced written communication course. It's twice a week, two hours each, for nearly twice my already-respectable hourly wage. I start Monday. This effectively doubles the amount of money I'll be making this semester, which makes me happy indeed.

My only concern is that this cuts into two social things that I do in the evenings, which will need to be shifted or rescheduled, but this can be arranged, I think.

Anyway... yay for more employment!

Congratulations! More money is good, but it also feels good to be recognized. Good luck with the class.

Best,
J.

Thanks! It'll definitely be a learning experience for me too: I've never taught a writing class before, and it'll be more students than I'm used to. Also, they seem to be really advanced, so I'll be able to do a lot of interesting stuff with them. I'm looking forward to it.
