Yesterday I was very excited to learn that I got a part-time opportunity at a High-Tech start up in Tel Aviv, and today they called to rescind their offer because they need someone who can start right away. Well that's just shitty, but hey, I guess it's not meant to be. I'm not too down about it because I know there will be other opportunities that may actually be full-time positions, but it would have been nice to already know that I have at least one promising position waiting for me when I leave Ulpan. Oh well back to the drawing board, speaking of which, job fair yesterday! My first Israeli job fair took place yesterday, and it was a far different experience from the job fairs that I attended in the states. This job fair had a far more relaxed environment; I shower up in jeans, a t-shirt, and flip flops, and that was perfectly acceptable. Yesterday's fair brought some useful information and contacts, but a majority of the representatives came from job placement agencies, so it's tough to say if those will lead to any actual positions. Either way, I'm staying positive and hoping that some other promising employment opportunities come my way.
After the job fair and a nice run I went downtown with a few friends. We went to the old city and then hung out in the city center for a little while. Overall it was a chill time; a bunch of people were exhausted so we packed it in early, but I was glad to spend the night in downtown Jerusalem on the eve of Jerusalem day. Here are some pics from last night; hindsight tells me I probably should have used the flash on my fancy iPhone camera, next time for sure.
