The List!

Last week Adam received the list of available posts that we could be sent to. There are 13 Information Management Specialists in his training group, and there are 13 posts on the list- one post for each IMS. We were surprised to see that there were no posts on the list from Latin America and the Middle East, and only a few posts from Asia. I think we were expecting a little mix of every region.

Over the past week, Adam and I discussed the list, and he was able to meet with his Career Development Officer to discuss what he was looking for and her recommendations. Ultimately, what we were looking for was health & safety for a newborn and a good work environment for Adam (he wants to be challenged, have responsibilities, and learn a lot on the job). Of course, Adam also mentioned that he wouldn't mind a place that was not cold & gray!

I don't know if I can share the list here, but I think it's probably ok to mention the top three on the list that Adam submitted:
  1. Shanghai, China
  2. Kingston, Jamaica
  3. Suva, Fiji 
Ultimately, wherever we end up is where we are supposed to be, so we don't have any set expectations and I think we will be happy and excited for wherever our first post will be!

I've been asking Adam to take photos and share them with me, but so far he hasn't taken any yet!
