Remember that second interview I was going to on Aug 4th? Well, they've deliberated, cogitated and ruminated long and hard and finally come back to me with the message that on reflection, they don't believe I could be happy there for long, and so with real regret, etc...
Again, I seem to have scuppered my chances by projecting too capable a picture of myself. "Too capable," those were actually the HR-manager's words when he called with the news.
Oh well. At least he asked my permission to keep my details on file, so he could get in touch in case a more suitable position came up.

Indeed it does. Luckily, another opportunity's already arisen.

Thanks, but how do you work that one out? I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you with regards to the school in Poland; I'm sorry it didn't work out in Kosovo, but it was a bit of a shambles, wasn't it? Actually, I think you're well out of it. Poland's much more stable and secure. And, reassuringly to your dad, not Muslim.
The Kosovo thing was a mess! I was so shocked by her reply - being concerned about my daily medication means that I'm not ready for a real overseas experience? And it was really weird how supportive of the idea of reconsidering the offer Dad was at the end. I'm more hopeful for Poland - it looks like a great opportunity, as it's affiliated with a teacher's college and I would do a little bit of work there - but it took forever for the interviewer to reply (this morning) after she stood me up for our Skype interview on Friday (I got notice from her that it *might* not happen when I got up that morning), and I'm still not sure if it's happening this morning. But at least she emailed me the list of references!
Good luck with the Polish application (if they ever get round to speaking to you)!
