The Eye of the Storm

Okay, the holiday is over and we're back at the office, which means that we really have survived Christmas - congratulations!  Here in the UK we had Monday and Tuesday off work, so even though this week is very short I'm still enjoying the opportunity to de-stress from all of the wonderful mania of the weekend past and to gear up for the excitement of the weekend ahead.  I've got a facial at Bliss scheduled for lunchtime today - thanks, Mom, and Happy Hanukkah to you, too! - and Jon and I have a romantic date planned for tomorrow night.




I'm sure you're all taking a deep breath this week as well, so let's take advantage of this time to prepare for new adventures and new experiences.  I'm going to do a whole series of posts in early January about the ins and outs of moving to the UK to/for work.  I will craft these posts around the information that will be most helpful to you; please tell me what you want to know about:

the visa process
finding and applying for jobs
differences in workplace culture

Leave comments here or drop me an email with any specifics that would be especially appropriate for you and I will do my best to address them in the coming weeks!

I will welcome reading your learned thoughts on those topics, Betsy. I am particularly interested in teaching jobs in London, but if you speak generally, I'm sure that will be helpful to all!

Thank you so much for bringing this up! :) Would be especially interested on the topic of finding and applying for jobs there while i'm still here in the Philippines or any country for that matter. I really love your blog and been reading it from the very beginning :) Great job there :) Happy New Year! :)
