2007.02.20 Working Man in Paris
I just got a job in Paris! I’m currently teaching
English as a corporate
English teacher for the Wall Street
Institute. I sent resumes out last Monday, I was interviewed on
the Tuesday and I
started teaching on
Thursday of the same week. I
honestly didn’t expect to find work so soon.
Admittedly, I was a touch
disappointed as I was enjoying exploring
the city, taking pictures, and going for jogs in the nice weather.
I can’t really
complain.
The work is easy and I’m at it for only 3 hours a day (so far). The job pays
enough to afford us some out-of-country travel and there is a novelty
in waking up in the morning and
heading
off to work with corporate Paris
(it helps that I head home after lunch). I do one-on-one sessions
with big-spending clients who don’t speak much English and buy me
cafés au lait
and lunches
on
occasion.
The pics
on this page were taken the day of my interview on
Feb 9/07 when I officially changed from
“Rod the accidental tourist in Paris who doesn’t speak French” to “Rod
the working man in Paris who
still
doesn’t speak French”.
