I don't really know why I have this wait but it is a real downer towards the whole thing. What makes it worse is that I know the camp has already employed some returnees -none of this 2 weeks wait thing. all very confusing and time-wasting, not at all what I expected as a returnee. I will know within the next couple of weeks if the camp wants me or if I will be put on the stand-by list. But I needed to do all the paper work again and have another skype interview again. I had to reapply to my camp which was a pain, I thought I would have an 'in'. I have since found out that there will be another additional cost of the visa. I have renewed my CCUSA application and they made it very easy to refresh all the information from last year. Well I have started the steps towards returning to camp. And it was the people who made the camp a great experience (rather than management or directors) and I had a great original experience. But after the hassle of applying as a returnee I have come to the opinion that they didn't appreciate my enthusiasm and personality. So as an international wait-listing is not a viable option.
And eventually I got a sorry email and was told I was wait-listed. It was another solid week or two before I heard anything else.
So still the hope of being a wrangler again. I of course said yes I was though I would prefer to try the general counsellor role. Due to the formality of the interview I didn't have high hopes of getting the job of a general counsellor, but I was told that they hadn't had anyone apply as a wrangler and if I would be interested. And it was as if the camp director had never met me before, my hopes of a casual catchup were completely out the window.
Phototime review full#
So I had to go through the a full interview. I got a positive job reference so it wasn't a work or work ethic issue.Īnyway no instant 'in' due to my previous employment. I don't know what exactly was the issue, I was pretty inoffensive maybe I didn't stand out enough -either positive or negative. As I have previously said just because I was a returnee I thought I would have an 'in'. Not on behalf of CCUSA -they were great and easy, but by my camp. So as you can tell it got me thinking and looking into it.Īpplying as a returnee was more difficult then expected. A job in England would at least get me teaching experience and another great overseas experience exploring the world. Bit hard to buy a house and animals without that security. But I never got that full-time permanent job. basically happily set up for the rest of my life. I have considered teaching in England before but not seriously as I came back from America loving NZ, wanting to teach NZ, live in NZ, buy a house in NZ, get a dog, a horse, some chickens. They are desperate for teachers, so I would have a better chance of getting that full-time job that I want so bad. So I am now thinking do America again and when it has finished go teach in London, England. Another positive for camp is that once camp ends +30 days of travel afterwards it would time the experience to finish around August. I am still applying for jobs but I didn't magically get a job this time last year and I have lost my optimism that I will this year. I am still short of that full-time teaching job :( so again nothing holding me back from just up and leaving. This year I had less of an urge for camp. March is now ending -Easter is upon us! And we are only months away from American Camp start dates of June/July.
