New Home, New Town, New Job

We have officially located from South Florida to North Florida. This meant a new home, new town, and new job. Thankfully, it’s easy to find eXp Realty Realtors near you when looking for a home. They are there to know when a home is priced well, or too high, or maybe even too low for the neighborhood it’s in. There’s so much to consider when moving, but the biggest things for me were really securing a new job and finding a reliable house removals company. Without a new job, we wouldn’t qualify for an individual voluntary arrangement or a mortgage. No new mortgage meant no new house and no new town. Follow? So really, my first major step was to find this new job. I began by updating my resume. I had to make sure it included all of the information regarding my current position within the school system. If you’re also moving to a new city or country like Canada, there are companies like Regional that offer low electricity rates Edmonton.

Next up, I had to look the part. Remember when I talked about being a role model? An educator’s primary responsibility is to be a leader within the community, and to do that, you have to stand out from the crowd. I begin by keeping my facial hair well-groomed. While beards are popular right now, I don’t want to look like a sloppy lumberjack. I keep my facial hair short to get a professional look.

I started using Differin® Gel for my acne earlier this year. Differin® Gel is the first and only prescription strength retinoid now available over-the-counter for clearing and preventing acne. It clears breakouts where they start {deep in the pores}, prevents breakouts before they begin, and as a result, restores skin’s texture and tone. Please use caution when using Differin® Gel with more than one acne treatment or glycolic acid product because this could lead to irritation.

Differin® Gel is not used in the same way as a spot treatment. In order to get the best results, you should apply a thin layer all over the face, once a day, every day. Here’s my before picture from earlier this year. As you can see, my skin was looking pretty rough. Frequent break-outs definitely do a lot to impact my confidence as a leader within my community. This would be especially true of interviewing for a new position with blemishes.

And here’s my after picture. I definitely have fewer breakouts now, and I approached the interview in a whole new school district with confidence. I didn’t have to feel insecure due to my acne.

How else did I prepare for this big move? Well, once I secured two different job interviews, I selected my favorite shirt and tie, ironed them to perfection, and went to both interviews looking and feeling my best. Then this was the hard part, waiting for a call back to learn if I would be offered either job.

And once my interviews were done, it was time to explore our new area. We visited on a Thursday through Sunday, and in that time, we found an awesome nature trail, a great local brewery, and we checked out some restaurants within our new community. Exciting stuff!

In short, now that we have moved from Ft. Lauderdale to Gainesville, I had to get a new job. Here’s what I did to prepare for my interviews:

  1. Updated my resume.
  2. Looked well-groomed.
  3. Took really good care of my skin.
  4. Wore my favorite shirt and tie.

This move has been a great adventure for my family. We were all so excited to start this journey together in a new town. And you know what? I secured an awesome job as a New Teacher Mentor for the school district. Yesterday was my first day, and I was very ready to get started.

Head to Walmart where you can purchase Differin® Gel 1.6 oz 45g tube, Differin® Balancing Cleanser, and Differin® Balancing Moisturizer. Go to Differin.com to get $2 off Differin® Gel and use it on your next shopping trip to Walmart!

    I’m married to an educator and totally get it. Thankfully he did his last(?) interview before we met, but I have a friend going through the interview process now, and it’s hard! #client
