“The ‘right experience’ was once again a key factor, but as they say, “you have to be in it to win it” and so I spent many hours reviewing my CV and letter of application and sent them off. To my great surprise, I had a phone call the next day inviting me for an interview in London. Two months later I had been interviewed, offered a post, and had booked my one way ticket! From the moment I accepted the position, I knew that I had said “yes” to a great opportunity.
So what did you think?
Seeing the world
“I have been working in Singapore for a year now and I have grown so much as a teacher. I have had the opportunity to work with the most privileged children and also with the most under-privileged, each being challenging and rewarding in different ways.
We hope you enjoyed reading the second edition of WLV Life. We’d really love to hear your views – and what you would like to see in future editions.
“Living in Singapore is an amazing experience and I’ve also had the chance to do my own travelling. So far I have visited Malaysia, Indonesia and Vietnam and I still have at least one more year in which I hope to visit Japan and China. Seeing the native tribes of Borneo and the crystal clear waters surrounding the remote islands in the South China Sea, make you realise that there is so much you don’t know about the world and I really can’t wait to find out more!

Plans for the future
“It is my plan to return to England after my second year in Singapore. I have now got so much more to say and give and I am going to use the experiences I have gained abroad to get me that teaching job I kept missing out on in the beginning. It just goes to show that the opportunities are always out there – I took mine and I now look forward to a long and fulfilling career in education.”
