Expanding the network


In the weekend, I met a few people and they were so kind to offer helps and advice regarding living in Toronto and the tips of getting a teaching job in Ontario.

Below are parts of the conversation:
=================================================
[telephone conversation]
N: K! (who is a vice principal of a secondary school) Please come to join us as there is a new guy who would like to get a teaching job in Toronto. Definitely you can give him a lot of advice.
[K arrived 1.5 hours later and told me very practical information about getting a teaching job in Ontario]

=================================================
T: Felix, are you free in the afternoon? You said you would like to have your hair cut, I can give you a ride to a nearby shopping mall for Chinese Canadians. When you are home, give me a call so that you can write down the phone no. of a driving instructor. My colleage recommended him to me.

=================================================

D: If you join our fellowship on Fri evening, you can meet our fellowship nanny who used to be an ESL (teaching English as a 2nd language) teacher. I think she could tell you how she got the job. Maybe she could take you home in the end of the fellowship as the couple live in an area close to where you live.
