Surreal.

No, seriously. I’ve got a job. I’ve been looking for it for some time, and it was hiding from me – maliciously, no doubt.

And then – bang!

You see, I wasn’t looking in that direction – I wanted to find a job the regular way, in a regular Canadian company. And I was having a lot of interviews these last two months, but to no avail. And then, this Friday, we are having a party for all Russian students in my husband’s school (Russian in a wide sense of language and culture, not nationality or even citizenship), and we meet new people, and we introduce ourselves, and then there is a guy desperate for a Russian lawyer in Canada. Oops. Cue me, getting a job.

I’ve always been (unofficially) of the opinion that my job will find me itself (as my adventures usually do). I knew it was a wrong opinion, but I was joking about it and didn’t really expect it to happen. But it did. Well, it also had to do with networking , but still… weird.

Me? Happy.

Wow! Congrats on the job offer, and that's so exciting that it happened when you weren't expecting it. I wish you the best of luck with it.

Thank you. It's not that I wasn't expecting to get a job at all, I certainly didn't expect to find a job like this.

Woo Hoo! Congratulations!!! Can't wait to hear more about your job responsibilities. :)

[avrelia.livejournal.com]

As soon as I find them out. ;)

Thank you, I'll write more more about it soon.

Thank you!

Woohoo! I'm very glad that the job found you, it's my secret aspiration as well (more like a day dream, actually). This is a very good case for networking you have here... this reminds me I should get out more. [kicks self]

Cheers and best of luck.

Thank you!

It is also a good case for not staying away from Russian community - which habits and the existence itself is a matter of a whole another post.

We all had a pretty good time at that party and kept wondering why it took people a year to organize it. ...Those Russians...

Yay! Congratulations! :)

I should probably do that more before I graduate and become officially unemployed! *g*

Thank you!

And unless you move to another country (especially one with a completely different legal system) it won't be that bad.

Wohooo! Congratulations! Sounds like an absolutely ideal job, too. Go you!!

[avrelia.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

the job is pretty good, though an ideal job at this point would combine Russian and Canadian element. So far it is a 100% Russian environment. I am not complaining though.

life is so funny :)

Isn't it weird how jobs sneak up on you like that? That's how I got mine, too... all unexpected, offered out of the blue. I love it when things work out. :-)

And I'm SO happy for you!

Thank you!

::dances with you::

I love when things work out, too! they haven't done it for a while. ;)
