Trabajo


Buenas noticias amigos míos! Hoy recibí una llamada desde la agencia de empleo que una compañía quería una entrevista conmigo. Pero no sola era una compañía, era la con que yo esperaba trabajar. Con mucha emoción, yo fui a Little Rock para la entrevista.

Traje mi currículum vitae (resumé). La gerente me lo pidió. Le di y dijo que también tengo una lista de referencias y empleadores antiguos.  Me dije que ya había hablado con mi jefa cuando yo estaba el interno de comunicaciones.

Bueno este blog es más o menos para informarles que trabajaré el lunes que viene. Una responsabilidad principal será traducir documentos y políticas. Entonces, este blog también sierva que practicar mis habilidades escritas. Mi español no es perfecto pero ha mejorado mucho en el último año.

Good news my friends! Today I received a call from the employment agency who told me a company wanted to have an interview with me. But it wasn’t just any company, it was the one I hoped to work with. With much excitement, I went to Little Rock for the interview.

I brought my resume with me. The manager asked for it. I gave it to her and pointed out that I also had references and past employers contact information attached. She told me she had already talked with my boss from when I was the communications intern.

Well this blog is mainly to let you all know that I will begin working this coming Monday. One of the main responsibilities will be translating documents and policies to Spanish. So, this blog also serves to practice my written abilities. My Spanish is not perfect but it has improved in the past year.

Aye Aye Captain

For at least for years I wanted to get into a boaters education class. Arkansas law requires anyone born on or after January 1, 1986 to take the course to legally operate a motorboat or personal watercraft within the state. I have been limited to kayaks and canoes. Of course I love to kayak but there is only so much that allows one to do.

Yesterday I finally made it through a one-day boaters education class at the University of Central Arkansas. It was one of many courses offered this month in the state. It was a little odd considering in the past its been hard to find any courses. It was one of the only ones I found that was within driving distance that was a one-day instead of two-night course. And I passed. So finally, I will be able to take a boat fishing or island camping.
