Three years ago I quit my job and went to work as a volunteer teacher in Rwanda, Africa. The economy was much better back then so I didn't think there would be too much of a problem getting a job when I got back - how wrong was I.
I was the head of music of a very large high school before I went away, when I got back no one was moving from the job they had and what few jobs came up there were over 50 applicants for. Just to put that into perspective, when they advertised my job there were only 8 applicants! I got shortlisted for most and interviewed but my time abroad went against me. So I took a supply teaching position (I think you guys call it substitution teaching) and I ended up for a year at a behavioural unit teaching anything and everything but music. That ended and I got a temporary job as acting head of music back in January. Anyway, I had an interview today to make it permanent and got it
they also said they want interview me again in a few months time, when the school restructure is finalised, for the Head of Performing and Creative Arts faculty!!!! I am so incredibly happy right now, 3 years of not having a proper salary and now I can afford to do things like buy new clothes and nice food 
Part-ay this weekend I think
