First Edinburgh job

Jo and I decided recently that traveling back to Aberdeen to teach English 2 days per week wasn't worth the cost/time/effort. I've been handing out CVs/resumes interviewing at some Edinburgh English schools the past few weeks.

Today I was offered my first Edinburgh teaching gig! 2 hours every Monday evening for 8 weeks, teaching Business English to a Chinese accountant. It's not much, but it's a start -- it's a nice way to end the week.

Hi Brett,
I looked at Edinburgh via the Yahoo map/aerial photo. The place is surrounded by golf courses! Looks like you're going to have to take up the game. You're making it hard to resist a visit. ;-)

Thought I'd be the first to try out the comment capability.
Cheers,
Sam

Damn straight, Sam! Scotland is the place to go if you want to play golf, since it is its birthplace. Resistance is futile. :-)

Congratulations Brett! I'm sure you will impress them and get more jobs! Aberdeen would be a long way to go for a part-time job.

Thanks Erin... I just got offered a few more hours by the school, so things are moving in the right direction! :-)
