The Fair

A journey starts!

Just two weeks back my wife Stella and I decided to start the next part of our life together.  We both enjoy travelling and while our time in Sydney, Australia has been great we are looking at further adventure.

Camping in Murray River.

So two weeks ago I enrolled with Search Associates to attend their job fair in Melbourne, Australia at the start of January. Overall extremely impressed with this organisation and their support and professionalism.  

Not used to staying at the Langham hotel however.  It is a bit too smart for us. Especially as we had just spent a week camping in the Murray river basin in 30 degree temperatures.  So we arrived with a very dusty car and looking a bit bedraggled.

After a day of listening to presentations about schools and how to get a job the 'meat market' began.  The candidates around 230 had to rush to 60 odd schools and get signed up for interviews.  You had 5 minutes or so to impress people with why they should interview you then it was off to the next school.  Bit of pressure.

I got 5 interviews and another school wanted to see me so went rushing off to the first interview, then a half hour break then off to the next interview.  And so on.  Finished about 7pm so needed a real cold beer after that.

Sunday the same more interviews, second interviews and hopefully job offers!

And guess what the same on Monday!  

Then its load up the car and off camping.
