I feel a strong ‘pull’ towards moving back to the UK, so
that is what I plan to do in June. I’m
also leaning towards finding a job in which I can use my French language skills
(but not teaching!), preferably in an office-based environment as this has
previously suited me. I am also looking
to learn new skills which would allow me more flexibility for work in the
future (i.e. accountancy/IT skills). Might
all sound a bit vague, but it’s a start.
And in the current job climate, it might not be a bad thing to not get
too specific!
As for where to look for jobs, where to live and who to live
with…that’s all unclear too. To a large
extent these things are interdependent.
I’ve had it pointed out to me that moving back in with my family might
not be very easy as I haven’t lived at home for more than 4 weeks for 5 years
now. One thing which is fairly obvious
is that most French-speaking jobs are in London. But I don’t fancy the commute into London
every day. Can’t have everything though.
Since last November I have been applying for various UK graduate
schemes which start in September, but have not been successful in getting past
the online tests for the few that have shown interest in me (which is strange
as it was the maths which proved the problem, yet this was my strongest point
at A level). Though if these jobs aren’t
right for me it’s better to get rejected at this stage than much further down
the line, so from that point of view I’m relieved.
Voilà, hope that wasn’t too much to get your head
around. I really want to make a move in
line with what God wants and where I can reach out to those around me to make
an impact for Him. Prayers appreciated!
