Hi there everyone,

Hi Gary,
Hope you have not missed me too much!!!
I'm absolutly knakered today. I went to that manager's meeting I was telling you about. My directors are happy with my performance, which keeps them off my back, thank God for that
Anyway I have slowed down quite a lot on my research for my business. I'm off tomorrow and I will look at which companies I can target as you advised me.
Speak to you very soon (or e-mail you very soon) to let you know about my progress. The only problem I can see with targeting companies is that my clients won't need my help to find them a job which is one of the main services I want to offer. What do you think?

Take care
Carole

Hey Carole,
I didn't have time to miss you I've been busy getting my hurricane preparations finished. Tropical Storm Chris was threatening to hit Puerto Rico (it didn't - it's north of Puerto Rico right now). Been filling extra water drums, getting my generator running, buying extra gas, batteries, canned food; cleaning the (open) basement of our house to get things that might blow away organized and inside.
Long lines at gas stations and at store checkouts..

Good to hear that the directors are happy with your performance!

I didn't realize that job finding was going to be your main activity. Somehow I thought that you were focussing on house/appartment finding and general help to get people settled in.

From a marketing point of view, companies are an easier target. If you want to reach potential expats, i think forums like this one are the place to announce your new venture.

Have fun on your day off!

Hiya again

What a scary thing it is to get ready for a potential hurricane. Thank God nothing happened but have you ever experienced a hurricane before.
Don't work your socks off too much. Look who is talking, I bet you can't help it!
You take real care of yourself,

Carole

finally I've managed to create my little flags !!!!
Youhou!!!

hi everybody!Hi carol!Me and my boyfriend  're going to live in london for mid september.(maybe one year) I saw that you'd like to create a company for helping french.Well i need your help.We 've just leaved our job in Paris ,we woud like to perform our english, so we decided to go unexpectedly.(i hope you understand me in english).Now i think that we must to prepare our departure.I 'm a beautician and i 'd like to work in a SPA .Kit(my man) doesn't speak english as well i do, but he understand and he is motivated to learn and he doesn't scare to speak.Here in Paris he works in mobile phone sales.
Please Carole can you help us for finding a job and a flatshare.
si tu peux parler en français c mieux pour Kit.merci beaucoup!!!

Bienvenue a vous 2 Mateen & Kitsana,
bien sur que vous pouvez me parler en francais.
Mateen, tu es estheticienne en France ? Quel genre d'experience as-tu, combien d'années ? Ce que tu pourrais faire c'est commencer par m'envoyer ton CV par e-mail pour que je puisse l'inspecter et le corriger et te dire quel genre de lettre de motivation tu as besoin d'ecrire pour avoir la chance de décrocher un entretien. Je suis sure que tu peux facilement trouver un emloi ici dans un centre de remise en forme, un centre de beauté, un hotel... Les anglaises et étrangeres raffolent de plus en plus de ce genre de chose car la beauté et la santé pour elles sont devenues encore plus importantes qu'en France. Je suis sure qu'avec ton charme francais tu vas les épater facilement du moment que tu as l'experience requise. Je n'ai pas de contact pour ce genre d'emplois mais je peux certainement te guider au mieux et te trouver des adresses ou envoyer ton CV.
En ce qui concerne ton copain, Dis lui de pratiquer son anglais tous les jours, parlez anglais entre vous jusqu'a votre départ. Beaucoup de francais ont le vocabulaire mais
ne s'expriment pas proprement car ils ne pratiquent pas assez. Pratiquez va permettre a votre cerveau d'enregistrer les mécanismes facilement et vous parlerez plus vite et couramment. Je crois qu'il devrait apprendre le vocabulaire de la téléphonie car il y a de plus en plus de magasins de portables qui s'ouvrent a Londres. Vous les verrez aux 4 coins de rues. Ils ont besoins de vendeurs experimentes donc pourquoi ne pas essayer de décrocher un entretien dans son domaine des le début. Si son anglais n'est pas assez bon il peut toujours commencer dans un hotel, un restau, un magasin de souvenir tout comme je l'ai fait.
Tu parles de flatshare, donc vous voulez partager avec d'autres personnes ?

Pourriez vous répondre a mes questions de marketing que j'ai posées dans le topic "Living in Europe" = Questions for french people who want to live and work in London" ca m'aiderait aussi

A+ tard
Carole

The worst I've experienced until now was tropical storm 'Jeanne' in 2004.
After Jeanne passed we were without water and electricity for almost three weeks. Not really funny

Still a lot of rain today. 'Chris' lost its strenght overnight  and left all the rain and thunderstorms over PR. No high winds, just a lot of water - I can deal with that.

Hmm.. so I made this:

Nope - that's the avatar you're talking about - the little picture under your name.
If you have a picture you would like there there, email it to me and I'll make it the right size for you.

You are too clever and too good for me Gary King (I fancied writing that)

It's damn good Gary Ok I need to find a nice picture now!!!
My husband has put them all on CD so I can't download them. I'll send you one when I find a really nice one.
Thanks for your help

Carole

Stop it you're too good for me you make me laugh I can't keep up Gary

My pleasure
This is the kind of free help you (and anybody else)  can get on one of my sites: Computer Newbies Help Forum.

By the way just so that Mateen & Kitsana don't feel left out I should let them know that I did answer on page 2 of this topic. Sorry guys I'm getting carried away with Gary who is kindly giving me an IT lesson

You know, one of the first things you should consider when you start your service, is a website. ( did I ever tell you I design, maintain and host websites for a living? )

Oops! I typed to fast. Let me try again: Computer Newbies Help Forum

Yes I would be very interested if you could help me design my website how could we work together from so so so far awayyyyy!!! I might even need it sooner than we think

We'd communicate by email. I have clients in the USA, in Holland, Germany and also in Puerto Rico.
95% of the communication I have with clients is by email, 5% by phone or personal contact.
If you're interested, we should take this to email I guess.

Oh by the way, my name on Newbies is Gerrit (which is my real name). Gary is what everbody outside of Holland calls me because nobody but Dutch have a clue how to pronounce 'Gerrit'..

Yes definitly and then you can tell me your fees and what you require from me

I'll email you later today. The email will come from gerritATsirius-prDOTcom so you know what to look for. Give me an hour or so - Ididn't have breakfast yet. 

merci beaucoup Carol je vais t'envoyer mon CV j'ai essayé de le faire en anglais effectivement ça serait cool que tu puisses corriger.Où veux tu que je te l'envoie?Tu as un mail? Je vais répondre à tes questions ds l'autre topic .Encore merci
