Yeah you attend a recruitment day to show that you can coach, have the right personality etc and you an answer as to whether you get the job within a few weeks. Then you have to pay towards your Visa, insurance etc. Once all that is done then they can confirm it for you and you can book flights to go out there!So, you get your badges and then this company UK International Soccer Camps just set up a few dates/weeks for you to go out there and coach? Seems quite easy tbh (after getting all the qualifications and badges etc.).. Sounds fun!
A few of you have mentioned giving up smoking, have any of you tried e-cigarettes? I stopped smoking 32 days ago after having bacterial pneumonia, really frightened me. I'm using a 10 motives cigarette that i bought in sainsburys. Its brilliant, doesn't feel like I've given up. Get a nicotine hit without breathing in all the crap.
Are they any good? Just stopped today but looking for something that's decent when I am out on the tiles! Do they actually taste like real ciggarettes?
I'd also recommend Seattle if you're on the West coast.
Wow blast from the past Scotspur!
I quit cold turkey in May and found it so easy, in fact I wish it had been harder. Any how three months later I made the cardinal sin of thinking I could have " just the one" after a few beers...Oh how wrong was I!! Quitting tonight and this time for good and I know the pit falls now.
How you doing mate?
Yep emergency aid and safeguarding childrenDon't you have to do first aid as part of getting your first badge too?

Been there and done that unfortunately, stuck the patches on tonight and it seems ok just now.

Same here mate, to be honest I'm sort of looking forward to moving on as well. Uni is all well and good but I really want to earn some money and see where life is going to take me - we can't be students forever! I'm know roughly what I want to do but not completely sure yet, once I come back from the U.S. then I may either have a job lined up or I may have to continue looking for one (I'm going to look for something as soon as I finish University, with a view to moving into the position from November onwards).PLJ, I take it you're in the last year of your degree then? I'm also at my last year at uni, feeling a mixture of excitement, nervousness and sadness about leaving uni.
Although it's been the best 3 years of my life, I am quite excited to move onwards and upwards, but very unsure what to do. Dunno whether I want to go straight into finding a job, or have a gap year and go travelling, seeing as I didn't take one before uni.
Sounds like you've got stuff all pretty much planned out though, so good effort on that front. How long you planning on going to the US for?

I'm off to the U.S. for four months minimum mate. I could get a contract extension if I perform well, or who knows get a job offer out there? Provided that I don't already have a job lined up for when I return to the U.K. I might try and see if I can stay out there for a bit to do some work with the company.
