Marketing myself

In today's competitive environment you have to market yourself. So far I've done that with business cards and a website. Now I'm adding search advertising:

Brooklyn bound, or Going home

Back in August, when I returned to Costa Rica after a month in Europe, the immigration officer in Miami, where I connected, was giving me the usual hard time. I had my travel document (which enables me to stay outside of US for up to two years without risking losing my permanent residency) and was passing through the US. After deliberating with his supervisor he eventually gave me the stamp and the wave, and sent me off with a "Welcome home". It was so nice to hear!

Maybe so nice that I now take heed. In less than two weeks I say goodbye to Costa Rica and move to New York. When I get there I'll be staying in a hostel for a few weeks, but once it's time to find a real home, I'm considering Brooklyn, hence the title. I don't have a job there yet, but am busy looking and will initially spend most of my time trying to get exposure to the job market. So if you know of anything please let me know!

It's sad to leave Costa Rica and Erin behind, I've had some seriously good times here, but at the end of the day I just didn't manage making a living here. However, I'm looking forward to be living in New York, the city I always said I would one day live in. Well, guess what!?
