Back in the business!!


Finally!!! Last week was a great week for us in terms of jobs. I was interviewing everywhere trying to get back in the global logistics industry, and last Monday I found an opening at Schenker Logistics, the company that I had previously worked for here in Miami and Atlanta...



The opening was for a position as an Export Coordinator. I had never done anything on the export side, as I was dealing solely with imports in Atlanta in 2005. I applied for the position and interviewed last Tuesday and later that same day was offered the job. Today I got the green light to start after a week pending drug test and background check results....

Jaclyn was just as lucky. She met with some language schools in the area, trying to get a position teaching either Portuguese or English. The positions were offered to her but the hours and pay were a little less then desirable.

She was then contacted by the Miami Herald, main newspaper of Miami and also Jaclyn's former employee back in 2005. She was offered a position as a free lance photographer which is quite exciting, the $$ is great and she will be able to have a flexible schedule that will be great when school starts in August.

Great week!!! I'll be starting tomorrow after almost 4 months out of work and Jaclyn will be waiting of her first photo assignment... Things are finally getting back in the right track!
