"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

So I'm seriously thinking about finding a career job (not teaching english though, but I wouldn't rule it out if all else fails) overseas. Aside from a few job sites, another method would be to get into a big global company and then work your ass off to land an internal job else where. Anyone else have experiences landing a career/job overseas? How did you go about it?

I feel I should get some traveling done while I"m still young and don't have any dependents (even though I"m an avid saver). This could be a refreshing change that I really need for myself. Also feel free to share your experiences living a different lifestyle while abroad. Did it take a long time to adjust?
