Anxious to Get Started
I am a new traveler, and I have been accepted by about four agencies. I am trying to get a position in a particular location, and I am getting impatient because it seems it is very hard to get started. Waiting for interviews is like waiting for water to boil, and I am wondering if anyone else has advice or had this issue when they started traveling. Should I just be patient and watch and wait, or is there something else that I should be doing?
