Monday is my big day. I officiallly start me new job in Texas. It is part-time seasonal and Monday I will do a trial run of my presentation. I am working for a company that offers workshops for high school students preparing them for official tests, focusing on strategies. I have been working on this for over a month now and they are offering a training. What my trainer doesn't know is that this is what I have done for a living for the last 20 years in addition to teaching English.
It was a real kicker the way I ran across it. I was attempting to show someone how easy it was to find a job via internet. I used all avenues, online newspapers, companies I thought would have positions for that particular line of work. I happened to be looking on Craigslist when I saw an ad looking for an educational presenter for south Texas. I thought, "what the heck", and I zipped off an old resume I had in my laptop.
I got an answer and even though I wasn't looking for a job, this one really drew my attention. The pay is great, it is close to home so I can come home in between stints and we can leave the rv there for a couple of months enjoying the Winter Texans. Did I mention the pay is great!
The plan will be to do my work on Monday and Tuesday and then head off to South Padre Island for a couple of days before bringing the rv back to La Feria. We are hoping to get the summer rate for September which is $189 a month and then the park is offering a two-month winter special I hope we can get. The months of November, December and January we will be rving in Mexico.
Sounds like fun! I love Texas!
ReplyDeletewhat a win win situation well done safe travels Les
ReplyDeleteWhat a great opportunity! Isn't it nice when "things" just fall into place? Not sure where we'll be from Oct through Dec, but, who knows? We may see you in the Valley.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great deal. But I thought you were retired...? :-)
ReplyDeleteWay to go, glad to see you back on the blog, I missed you.
ReplyDeleteHey Kevin and Ruth, yes we are retired, but this is fun work and it will bring us money to do what you are doing now, traveling Europe. We also want to visit Australia and I want to work on a farm in the Chinese highlands.
ReplyDeleteIf we could just sell this house, it really ties you down. But until things get better here, we will have to work around it.
Wow, great find. Congratulations. You better come visit us on the Isla. I will find you boondocking sites, promise.
