I was thinking of looking them up on fb, but I thought they may find it somewhat stalkerish haha We've decided that we'll either start a couple job in Jan or March, so he could potentially have six months with a family which gives him a better chance of finding one now, though he's being a dick about it at the moment :/ Doesn't think he'll be good enough on his own, overly paranoid that he won't be able to look after children by himself... it's not getting through his thick head that he looks after 12 children minimum by himself every single day doing things that are much more highly dangerous than au pairing rolls eyes
I'm on various other ap websites that have accepted both my couple profile and his only person profile thankfully.
Millarkie: did people contact you via the blogger? That would be brilliant but I'd never have thought about it atually working? It'd be good if it did
And here I thought being honest was a good thing! :P I would try that but I think that I've given up on APWorld now, I'm just a bit annoyed as I liked the look of one family in particular; 3 boys, all older than 4, live in Devon, love outdoorsy stuff and they only wanted someone for maximum of 6 months; it'd be a perfect thing for him to do by himself to warm him up to the routines and lifestyle of APing, if that makes sense? I don't want him to get into a couple job and then be unhappy with it :/
He loves working with kids though as mentioned above, he's paranoid about doing it by himself! He does adapt very easily though and seems to genuinely want to do it with me rather than alone, so I'm more hopeful on the couple front if we manage to find work lol He's getting stupidly excited at the prospect of being nearer some good climbing spots and things too haha
The happy to go anywhere thing though, the devil company told me that I couldn't say that last time, which is why they denied my first application [apparently!] Though, it is important to note, the same woman has dealt with me each time, I have a funny feeling that she is the only one who actually works for the website as every email and phone call I've made, she's dealt with it.
I have been blocked on three different emails now, and have used my name, his name and my most common variation of my name to make profiles I feel naughty eve though I haven't done anything wrong!
I've never paid for the site though, I prefer not too, though they probably have an IP address finder and I would go through the roundabout but legal routes to change it as I sign in, but 1) it's too much hassle and 2) my new IP could link me to anywhere in the world, and would change each time I used the roundabout way, so I would be travelling far and wide constantly, which is apparently not allowed by apworld :P
I think I'll have betetr luck with local gumtree anyways tbh, especially if I want to find him a job by me! I have no idea when I'm leaving here yet either, which is probably more important to work out at this moment in time rather than my boyfriend's job! Christmas or Feb half term? Decisions, decisions and procrastinating from them!
