*** Did you really think I meant it when I said “Good Bye” ??? ***

When I was wring my “Good Bye” entry, I heard a voice in my head saying  “I’LL BE BACK”. I’m quite sure it wasn’t Arnold Schwarzenegger hehehe. I know some of you that know my character knew I would be back. After all, I got my “CELTA” and I couldn’t let you all go without knowing how things are going for me!

:) I got my dream job: I’m teaching in a university (full time) and in a language school (part time). 

:) I got offered so many teaching positions: Can you believe it? I was job hunting for so long and after I got the CELTA, I literally stopped job hunting because things turned around for me. Instead of job hunting, it turned into “CELTA” hunting.

:) I am still getting job offers: It won’t stop! I spent days thinking of ways to politely reject teaching positions I’m getting offered. Oh God, how I wish “No thanks” would be enough. I guess this implies that when you get the CELTA, you’re very valuable.

Well, there is so much to say. I don’t even know where to begin. However, since I’ve decided to share my “After CELTA” experiences with you all, I am sure you will all benefit by comparing these entries to my “Before CELTA” experience. 

STAY TUNED FOR MORE “AFTER CELTA” EXPERIENCES!

    Hi all,

    I will try to update my diary from time to time. I wish for all of you to be aware of the opportunities the CELTA throws upon you all. So sharing some advice or my experiences mean a lot to me. I didnt have anyone to inform me, so informing you all has become a major responsibility to me.

    khloe: You can learn about the prices of the course via the I.T.I. website by contacting Amanda Gamble. You can find their website in my Thank You entry.

    oya abla: your support is highly appreciated. :)
