Ok... so until now... a week later... I still haven't had any lucks with jobs! While walking back from the beach the one day though, I decided to do a quick dock walk and see if anyone needed day work. Supposedly the best time of day for day walking is the morning, so it was a long shot dock walking now!
After asking about 20 boats, I came around a corner and saw my one Aussie friend asking for a chef job, and overheard the guy he was asking saying they were looking for someone with a tender license. Once he'd finished I tried my luck. At first the guy wasn't interester, but after chatting to him for a while, he started showing interest. I told him I had the tender license, and when I learned they were looking for someone to teach wake boarding, I took the opportunity and started 'bragging' about all the wake boarding experience I had. Eventually the captain came out, took one look at me, asked what qualifications I had, then told me to come for an interview the next day, so hopefully that#s a good thing!
The next day I went for the interview and found out I had to drive the captain and crew around in R5.5 million rand boat called the Riva. If I'd known the price before hand, I think I would've had a heart attack!! Anyway... I drove it well and maxed it out at 40 knots... The parking however I wasn't too great at, since this thing had soooo much power!! Anyway, the captain told me not to stress about the docking, and that he'd call me back for an interview with the owners some time this week... probably wednesday. Today is Monday by the way... so i'll be expecting the phone call soon!! Hopefully I'll get this call and make a good impression on the owner!! The job opportunity is absolutely amazing! If I get the job all I'll have to do is drive the Riva around whenever they need it and teach the owners kids how to wake board, while getting paid 2000 euros a month... untaxed!! Who could ask for anything better!?!?! So I've got my fingers crossed!
