Since June 24th, I was laid off from my job at TD Canada Trust due to the BSC closing and I chose to take the severance package rather than choose another TD job, which I know I would not appreciate a year down the road. I have since started and completed a month long CELTA (Cambridge English Language Teacher for Adults) course, which I have passed. I am now a CELTA certified teacher. I am going to go to Paris on Sept. 2nd, arrive Sept. 3rd and start looking for ESL jobs on Sept. 5th.
I have been so blessed since I made this decision and have been able to sublet my room and the basement suite, while I am away, so I don't have to worry about paying storage fees.I have a friend who is going to use my car while I am away as well, so I won't have to worry about it sitting for a year. Plus, I have been able to find a site on FB called "expatriates in Paris" which is a FB community for the expats in Paris and they give great tips on housing, jobs and so far someone has let me know about 2 ESL companies to apply to. Plus, gave me some encouraging advice, as he was in the same position before. Very nice!
I plan on posting here weekly, if not more to show you all that I am safe and how I am doing in my job progress. I can't believe that I am doing it and it will finally sink in once I land in Paris. Yes, I am going to Paris!!! Wowsa.
