What I do....

I have been neglecting my blog...again. I have been busy (the popular excuse) lately with work. When you work for your self you try to do as much or to complete your project as quickly as possible and get paid (hopefully) quickly.

When I first arrived here I had huge culture shock. Living in an unfamiliar country is one thing and not being in the workforce is another big thing...new place, new faces, new culture, advance country..? who would want to employ me. There are hundreds maybe thousands of younger more educated, experience people looking for jobs out there...I didn't have the chance.

But things weren't so bad as I thought. I started my own freelance creating websites hoping that ES's clients become my clients as well. But I didn't think I could do it...never created a website on my own before. Where to start, how to start...what..? Things unfold while I was attending a website design course... somebody was looking for someone to update their website. Sounds great so I applied and got the job... it's a casual job...hourly rate but better than nothing. And it will be a good experience for me. To this date I'm still with this online business company and they are wonderful people.

I have also created websites for ES's clients and hopefully more of his clients want to have their own business websites. What I need is someone with marketing talent to convince them.

Anyway, two weeks ago my friend's husband sent me an email asking if I were interested in doing business with him... like sub contracting websites project. Of course I am happy to do business with him and more so because I could work from home. It is a good arrangement actually and I learn more and more each day. He's good and very professional with his work and I could learn lots of things from him. Completed one project and another one coming... waiting for the client's green light.

Still a lot to learn but I am more knowledgable, skillful and experience now than before and hopefully business will get better every day.
