It's never over.

I know first hand just how much the job-hunting thing sucks . After I got my first 2 pieces of paper, I did some 6 years of casual primary teaching & I knew I was meant to do something else . So first semester last year, I got my Post-Grad certificate in TESOL. But it seems as though I don't have enough experience in TESOL for what they're after (I would get some experience if they gave me a chance ).

So I've put the TESOL-jobhunting on the backburner for now & recently I've been applying for quite a few positions in the field of "Learning/Training & Development" as well as "Recruitment". I'm currently waiting on quite a few positive leads so... hopefully something will come of it .

Even though I was making excellent money as a casual primary teacher (I'm not kidding when I tell you I was making Public $240 & Catholic $300 a day after tax), Some of those kids are the devil re-incarnated! Primary Teaching can bite me!

STL, You should be used to the pointless assignments by now . You must be getting to the end of the semester - Keep to your spirits up Mate! Don't you know, as soon as you finish this assignment - there'll be another one to do just around the corner...

Re: your assignment, is it a topic anything under the sun type? IF IT IS the best to go about selecting a topic would be watch the news or issues type of shows (e.g. 60 minutes) then you can get issues or topics from that and expound from it, pretty soon youll be reaching even beyond the 2000++ words you need. Like try that news a few days ago about " making the Citizenship test harder" coz as per my impression of the words from the "full blooded true blue old timer, Im born here, raised here, I have an impt degree and standing and well known person Aussies" that were interviewed, IT was too darn easy. Remember that sample test we did the other thread before... yep apparently its TOO DARN EASY coz there was a 95% result of passing. Now thats one issue you can expound on - for or against. You'll get an idea soon. Cheers

It's a legal ethics research assignment. I've chosen my topic and now just doing the "intense" research and trying to get it written up by Friday 4pm. After that it's a long straight to exams and after that I'll be able to spend more times with my lonely little TFs. Oh how they've missed me.

It is kinda good though. Having job offers on the table and being able to choose is kinda a curse b/c you have to make a tough choice but it's heaven b/c now you know your marks no longer matter. All you need to remember to do is Pass
