Well, The New Job (CIR) is officially a translation and interpretation job, but it appears that I'm going to spend the majority of my time teaching English in elementary schools. Other duties include: appearing on radio and television, translating, interpreting, holding monthly international cooking seminars, teaching adult English classes, and doing whatever else is deemed necessary. There're only about 500 CIRs in the country, compared to about 6,000 ALTs, so our duties are more varied (and vaguer) than those of The Old Job. Still, my coworkers are a dream, and I haven't regretted switching, even for a heartbeat!
