International Job-Search-Related Quickie

I find it kind of hilarious that, when I asked the French Paralympic Team for a job, I received a multi-page explanation of why what I do is not a recognized profession in France, coupled with an explanation of the fact that, even if I were a physician or a PT in the States I still would need lots and lots of paperwork and hassle in order to even get into the same tour bus as a French athlete. "Actually, it's Docteur Awesome to you, you damned colonial heathen!"

My email to the New Zealand team was returned immediately with a note from a lovely woman who said, "Great! Sounds just great! Call me Fiona!"

Typique.
