Pre-interview jitters

Ahhhhhh! Who came up with the idea that things happen in 3's? I woke up this morning with a call from one agency, explaining that a school would like to have a skype chat with me tomorrow morning...only to find another two schools wanting informal chats tomorrow as well, all between 8 and 12 in the morning. I'm dreading the idea that two schools might try and call me at the same time. (the cons of handing a CV to more than one recruiter)

I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm excited...very, very excited; all jumping and bouncing around the house like some child that's been told they're going to disneyland. Squeeling to my Mum and Dad, going 'They want to talk to me! They're going to ring me!' and clutching the phone in my hand. I mean it's not like they've accepted me. This is just an informal interview...a friendly chat. But I'm dead nervous too. I don't want to muck up the conversation by saying something stupid, laughing when I shouldn't...that never goes down well.

And who would have thought there was so many documents needed, in order to get an E-2 Visa; transcripts, criminal subject access form, self evaluation health check, degree, CV, covering letter, copy of passport info page, passport size photos...then some of these need to get an Apostille stamp....oh the fun. No-one tells you this at the beginning...oh no...they wait until you have your heart set on travelling and then tell you. But I don't mind. Hey, and perhaps, by the end of all this I might become an expert on the E-2 Visa process, but right now I feel like I'm reaching out and blindly feeling my way around. Someone pass me a torch!

Plan on going to SK soon.... now you're the expert tell me what I need for the visa. I'm UK citizen same as you. Waiting for I to I to send me certs, sent for passport, Uni transcripts and Basic Discolsure. What needs apostilled and what is best way of doing this? Thanks.

Good luck with your interviews! Don't worry too much about the visa process, as any school worth their salt will help you with it once you've been offered a job.
