Alright, I hope I'm not gonna jinx myself but I can't stop smiling and am too excited and can't contain myself!!! :D

Yesterday, a woman e-mailed me after seeing my resume on Monster, and she works for a temp work firm. They have a client that is looking for someone who is bilingual in French and English for customer service, business to business! I mean, what are the chances of that, right here in good 'Ol Central Virginia!!!

So I have an interview on Monday at 10:00, and I have to nail this one! Gosh, I think I will cry if I get it! So many problems would be solved if I were to get this job!!!

So knock on wood with me, cross every body parts that can be crossed, and hopefully it'll be celebration time next week! :content:

P.S. Ladies, what should I wear? :lol: Nah... I think I'm ok with that part!

Good luck Vero!

And French translators are needed around Virginia, I work for a wine importer and we have TONS of French speaking clients. Orfee has looked into freelancing as a translator, but it's hard to build a customer base. I guess you have to know what markets are in need.

Kick butt!!! I just hope Loungo isnt mentor!! lol I'm sure you will excel

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1
