I GOT THE JOB!!!

Would have posted this the day I got it (day before yesterday) but I kind of hacksawed my left thumb while gardening.

Anyway, I went for my first interview (what I thought would be of many!) on Thursday at MLS which is basically a school that teaches English through DRAMA! Sounds great, looks great, couldn't wait! The interview ent really well, and I assumed they'd end it with a "We'll call you" kind of comment, but instead the managers who had been watching the interview/trial lesson spoke to the two trainer guys and basically told them that they want to hire us right away! (there were two other gals being interviewed at the same time)

We kind of couldn't believe it! This was THE job that I wanted and I got it on my first try! Contract is being signed on Tuesday and I start training on that day! Right away!

I was thinking that I'd have at least 5 other interviews and maybe start a new job at the end of Feb and then try to sponsor my Visa myself, but these guys hired me on the spot and will also spnsor my Visa! Woo!!!

What's more, we get 5 weeks paid holiday, ALL Japanese holidays paid off (with the exception of one) and a Mon - Fri job (hopefully. Not confirmed yet).

Not bad ,eh?

Later that night I went to a free salsa dance class at this Cuban bar with a few friends. My first ever dance lesson... and it looked like it too. Had a great time, but boy do I need to practice! :D
