I was very happy to hear from both companies that I interviewed with back in Canada that they felt confident I can operate in a francophone environment. As someone who has been out of the country going on a decade, it's nice to know that my language skills remain adequate to "get the job done".
Then again, as the saying goes, make a plan and G-d laughs. Within hours of my getting through my phone screens with Canada, I got an email from HR with a company right here in New York. Two months after submitting my application, they've decided that they would like to speak with me; what's my availability for the coming week?
In short, while relocation is always an option, don't forget that, with a little patience and perseverance, you can find a job in your current location. The question for me at present is not where should I be in terms of geography? Rather, the question I keep asking myself is where do I see myself in terms of the type of company/environment that works best for my career? Because going forward, I would like to maximize the probability of my finding work in a company where I can simultaneously advance my career while garner job satisfaction.
Truth be told, I am curious to see where such a company winds up being located. I guess only time will tell, eh?
