Job Search

[Shannonkish]

So, for those that know me, you already know that I have worked for a Therapeutic Foster Care agency for almost 2 years now.

I am completely burnt out. There are lots of reasons why. But, regardless.. I am looking for a new job... preferably one in a different field. I have a lead on a job with UAH (the local college) and I think I would really enjoy it.

So, this is my formal (or informal) request for prayer, happy thoughts, well wishes, meditations, etc. Whatever your brand of encouragement may be.

Thanks in advance!

You got 'em! I gotta say, teaching at a college sounds a WHOLE lot less stressful than working in Therapeutic Foster Care.

[Shannonkish]

I agree. :) Though I won't be teaching, I will be the Coordinator of Testing (ACT, GRE, those kinds of tests).

I have proctored a few tests and have spoken at length with the Outgoing Director of testing and the Incoming Director. Based on what they have said, I think I will love the job!

Having a job you love is one of the keys to hapiness. I hope that you get what you want, and I will pray for you

So, many of you know that I have been struggling in my current job and quite unhappy for a long while. Well, I have been waiting for a job that I think I will enjoy.

The job was posted today and I officially applied for it today. I know the person that would be my boss and I believe that I have a really good chance at getting the job.

Please pray, think happy thoughts, meditate, burn incense, release some good karma... whatever... for me in the next few weeks.

I think I would really love this job!

Thank you!!

Thanks!

We'll put in a word for you. If you can tell us the name of the person conducting the interview, we can even help by taking his/her family hostage! :)

[Shannonkish]

:) Hmm.. that might work!

So, after having a few rough days at work, I got a call from the HR department of the place that I interviewed with on Wednesday.

The HR department stated that they needed a bit more information. They want me to add an addendum to my resume to include my proctoring experiences. They wanted to make sure that they could contact my employer about a reference. They also wanted a copy of my official transcript--- which I conviently have a few copies of sealed transcripts.

They explained that I was being seriously considered for the position and the quicker I could get that information into them, the quicker they could make their decision. I told them I would have all their information completed today.

Yay for me! Continue with the happy thoughts please!

Good luck! Fingers crossed for Wednesday

Shannon i sure hope that you get the job. :D
it sounds like they are prepared to hire you, and are just 'crossing the t's and dotting the i's" by making sure to document your experience, and enable them to assure others that you really are the best candidate for the job.

[Shannonkish]

I learned today that I got the job!!
