The dream job was actually working for the American Cancer Society...long story but it was something I loved to do as a volunteer in high school and college and always wanted to move on to a staff position after that, especially since I had plenty of experience. And the new job...well I'm eventually going to get around to a post about that, I just have so much going on right now. And I definitely, obviously, know exactly how you feel about fearing professional failure if you move back...was soooooo afraid that would happen to me and then I would have no one but myself to blame.<br /><br />Ksam, I still wouldn't exactly say things are going fabulously. I would say I'm still undecided and in some ways I think this was the right decision and in others I completely regret leaving France. I guess I just have to wait and see, after all we always said the move to the US was supposed to be to try it out and then make a decision on where we really want to be so this was always supposed to be an experiment!Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17460908569554684989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2852622575677869620.post-52124682715459538262012-05-04T11:23:14.052+02:002012-05-04T11:23:14.052+02:00I was thinking that either everything was going fa...I was thinking that either everything was going fabulously or you were having feelings of doubt. It seems like almost everyone I know has gone through that same stage as you, ie the first couple of months are pretty hard and you wonder if you did the right thing, and then things suddenly turn around. I am glad to hear that is the case for you too, and I can't wait to hear about the new job!! :)Ksamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05991667611234163617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2852622575677869620.post-85596938545348009472012-05-04T09:51:34.781+02:002012-05-04T09:51:34.781+02:00Congrats on the new job!!

I'm just curious :)<br /><br />The first 3 paragraphs of this post sum up exactly what I fear would happen to me if I moved back to Canada. That I would have spent years in France thinking it was France's fault I was professionally miserable, only to discover it was MY fault this whole time. To be honest, I have no idea how the job market is in Canada right now, and I'm not sure I would find a job right away. But, moving back is not an option right now, so I guess I'll just leach off the French unemployment system a little longer ;)Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136483568967161966noreply@blogger.com
