Gah! My stomach was doing flip flops all day. I think I checked my email at least a dozen times every 15-20 minutes for any word of when the school was calling (wed. or thu.). The interview itself lasted about 20 minutes. "Troy" didn't ask too many questions, but the ones asked were pretty pointed; what would I do if a student didn't understand me, what my teaching experience with ESL students was like, etc.
I found the hardest one to answer was; what could I tell him about me...EEP! I never know how to answer that question, and said as much. So I stumbled my way through that question with all the awkward charm I possess. (lol) Hey, at least I had him laughing...ok chuckling...a couple of times. Let's face it though, I can get almost anyone to laugh at..with...whatever. :D
What I find interesting/comforting is that the school is basically the same size as the school I've been at the past 6 years. The class sizes will be smaller though, which I mean really...YAY!!! :-p It is located in Seoul (the capital for those that don't know) and seems to be a good one. My plane ticket and accommodations will be taken care of and the salary is essentially what I make right now so that is a plus. There are 10 other foreign teachers there already, since the school is what you would call English immersion. That means they teach class as they would in a typical English speaking school.
So, we'll see how it goes. Now I get to wait to hear if they want me...I mean really who wouldn't?...
