statistics...

I have just been clearing out my job application file and I am astounded by the following statistics.  Here goes.  Since arriving in Australia on the 22 September 2011, I have applied for 55 advertised teaching vacancies, 22 non-teaching vacancies as well as making 29 speculative approaches to schools for potential work.  What's bizarre is that the very first vacancy I applied for in Australia is the vacancy I have now been offered 12 months later as the girl appointed then is now leaving!  Funny old world.
