Looking for a Job in a New City

We got here over a month ago and so far, I am liking it here. I have enrolled in language course that will run for about two months and after that, I can think of getting a full time job. For the meantime I thought of getting a side job during the days I am not at school and with the help of a friend I was able to sort of find one. I got an interview and my interviewer already expressed her interest to have me teach in their school but they only need teachers for Saturday classes so unfortunately for me, I can’t take the job.

Francis has to work from 8am to 5pm daily but most of the time he works until 7pm or 8pm. This doesn’t give us so much time for each other during the weekdays so we badly want our weekends to be work free. This is the reason why I can’t take teaching jobs on Saturdays or Sundays.

I politely declined the offer to teach on the weekends and I asked them if they could assign a job for me from Monday to Friday but sadly, they are not in need of teachers for the weekday classes. That was disappointing but towards the end of the interview, my interviewer asked me again if I am sure about my decision not to accept the offered weekend classes. I courteously said that I am sure about it and that I am sorry. Then she told me that she’ll keep my contact details so she can call me once they have a vacancy for weekday classes and she also said that I should call her immediately if I changed my mind about teaching on Saturdays.

So anyway, for a certain time (a few days), I think that that job will be there for me so I said “I sort of find a teaching job”. I honestly believe that my interviewer likes to have me join their teaching staff and for me, it would me very nice and convenient to teach in their school. But perhaps, this job is not for me or it’s not yet the right time to have this job. I don’t know but I’ll wait and I’ll keep looking for a teaching job because it would be nice to be able to teach again.
