So In 2017, I started looking for work – again. I built a portfolio (a great friend helped me), had 2 interviews and the second interview gave me a full-time job as an Instructional Designer with Novaconcept, an elearning company in Montreal. I was ecstatic. G., the president and senior ID, is an emphatic, competent…

So early 2010, I lost my job as a project manager in translation. The boss there had made me feel incompetent and dumb. I thought that translation was not for me, project management even less so, so I ran back to where I had been happy before: language classes, teaching, education, and people! For the…

I started working when I was 21, freshly graduating from college in summer 2000. I quickly found a job as an EFL (English as a Foreign Language) instructor in a vocational school in Chisinau, Moldova. After three months though, I left to teach EFL in a big private school.

Glorifying busy-ness is a statement. You tell Life that you are worth something because you work a lot. Every time I speak to someone who says: “Oh, I thrive on stress,” a little light bulb lights up in my head: watch out, a perfectionist is coming your way.

Eu nu sint o tipa care tace si se da intr-o parte cind ceva nu merge. Eu deschid gura si spun, cind mai obiectiv, cind mai aprins, in dependenta de cit de mult tin la persoana data. Si nu inteleg, la dracu, amush 40 de ani am si tot nu inteleg: de ce conflictul inseamna…

Eu sint o femeie de aproape 40 de ani care detine 2 diplome de nivel Bacalaureat in limbi si traducere, 2 certificate de gradul 2 in traducere si design pedagogic, si pot sa spun cu toata siguranta ca ma ajuta sa-mi fac jobul in ziua de azi doar ultima diploma, cea mai scurta, de 3…

Cred ca cel mai mare cadou pe care mi l-a facut viata e emigrarea. Am luat asa intr-o doara aventura asta: mi-a placut faptul ca in Montreal se vorbesc doua limbi, si in sfirsit, eu voi avea ocazie sa vorbesc limbile pe cale le invatasem de vreo 5 ani incoace, LIVE. Ceea ce de fapt…
