Jobs, applications, CVs etc

When I decided to leave Greece, I arranged to keep my job and do it through internet, but I planned on finding a second work too. With the security of earning more or less enough money for living, I decided to look only for positions relevant to my studies.

So, after arriving in Bratislava, I applied for a job at a school. No surprise they didn't reply back: though my CV was ok, cover letter and the rest were awful. Obviously, I had no idea back then, I realized it two months later, while preparing my second application.

This time it was for a language school in Prague that needed a teacher of Greek. I desperately wanted that job (teacher of Greek and Prague, sounded perfect!), so I made a thorough research on CVs and cover letters, improved mine and off they were.

I was praying day and night to receive a positive answer and, 3 days later, I received an e-mail informing me that they are interested in an interview. I jumped up and down, shouting from joy, and, trembling from excitement, sat down to immediately respond. It was then that I realized that the e-mail was actually from the first school. Ironic, eh?

Anyway, I did respond, stating my interest and asking some additional info on the position. They didn't reply back.

I sent the last CV a few weeks ago, to a language school in Italy. Two days later, I was accepted for a 4-month internship.

That's it, people - I'm moving to Bologna!
