What I did this week toward gainful employment:
- Applied for the Reach to Teach ESL Teacher position with the SMOE/EPIK program to teach English as a Second Language in Seoul, South Korea.
- Heard back from said employer - found out the massive amount of paperwork to complete and that I missed the SMOE deadline (it's in February), but that I am still eligible to apply to work in hagwons, or private schools, in South Korea.
- Got fingerprinted for FBI criminal background check
- Sent copies of my diploma in for Apostille (apparently you have to have a certain kind of stamp verifying documents sent to Korea and it costs $20 for each verification!!)
- Began studying for the GRE, as I will definitely want to take the exam at least once before I potentially leave the country.
- Submitted application for Membership Coordinator at Winston Salem State University, a job akin to what I am doing now, but also incorporating a media/communications aspect that I am thrilled about.
- Sign up for the GRE
- Research jobs in the same states as grad schools I am hoping to attend (D.C., Colorado, Oregon, Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, or California. Also: North Carolina, to appease Psych Girl).
- Research federal government jobs
- Apply to at least FIVE jobs (more than just sending out resumes).
- Complete the flower exercise from What Color is Your Parachute?
- Find out how to figure out what color my parachute is...
I just have to say, I love your blog :) that.is.all
