It's been a while
The trouble with blogging is that when you actually have something to write about, you haven't got the time to write it. Anyway, in the last few weeks I've been to England and France (photos to follow) and applied for lots and lots of jobs. I haven't heard back from a single one.
I've also been doing an article for the Spectator on how people who've trained outside Canada can't get jobs here. Kind of ironic, really. But at least it's showed me how easy I have it compared to some. The photographer I've been working with has shot riots in Pakistan, photographed Tony Blair and President Musharraf, and worked with international press agencies, and he can't get a job with the local paper taking photos of pets and schoolkids. So I'm not holding out much hope - but I'm doing a web design course as a backup, so I guess it's not the end of the world.
Plus tonight I'm auditioning for My Fair Lady - seeing as I'll be the only one (hopefully) with an English accent, my hopes are high! Watch this space!
