Here it is plain and simple. You choose to do something on a whim and it turns out to pay in thrice.
When the epidemic swept across the great nation of China I was here with my family. We were safe, but bored. We were already making plans to move back to Canada this summer, so with the time off work/on holiday I got proactive and began applying to as many different jobs across Canada (in regards to teaching) as possible. I was able to grab on one job-however it is not exactly "support the family" worthy. I have hopes but, who knows what that will look like in a year.
Before landing that job though, I wanted interview experience. I applied to a school in Southern China, don't really think they were serious about hiring because of the epidemic, and then I thought well-I don't think I would do it, but the interview experience might be good...how about going for online teaching interviews, those could be new and inspirational.
Well, turned out they were interesting enough and it certainly took a couple trials, but I got there. I found a company that was willing to invest in me (in regards to some mentoring), and boom! Now I got a side hustle.
The nicest thing about the side hustle is that you can hold your contract and take leaves of absence as needed; to mention its...well was...a completely untapped industry and companies were willing to bend over backwards for you if you really had what it took to serve on the roster.
Looking at getting back to Canada I should have a gig lined up with QKids Online English Teaching (more a tutorial) and a supply teaching job :)
I'll be taking you on a bit of an adventure from here on to see what its like in the Online Teaching Industry.
