Abu Dhabi Bound???

This year, over spring break, I was approached, via email, with a great opportunity. A recruiting company contacted me through Linkedin about a teaching opportunity in Abu Dhabi. I almost deleted the email, thinking it was spam or phishing or something. However, I followed the links and decided, why not give it a try. I submitted my resume, and soon there after, was asked to complete some paperwork. Next thing I know, I was scheduling a Skype interview with the recruiting company. The night of the Skype interview, my computer is diagnosed with a virus. I spent three hours online with Dell customer service, running right into the time for my interview. I couldn't figure out Chuck's computer to get on Skype. Stressing and fretting, I finally was able to contact the recruiting company, and discovered they were also having technological issues and we had to reschedule for the next night. The Skype interview went off without a hitch. Found out that evening that I passed the interview and would have more paper work to complete. I complete it that weekend and sent it off. It seemed like forever before I was contacted with a place and time for person to person interview in NYC. A hastily made trip, an agonizing wait, and I found out on Tuesday I had been recommended for a position with Abu Dhabi Public Schools. Now I wait. For an official offer. I am trying to be patient and know that God is in control. This opportunity provides so much for Chuck and myself.
