Job Update

Well after WHO KNOWS how many job applications I finally have a pretty good lead on a job! There were a few places that I really liked better than the others and wanted to hear back from. I heard back from a couple of them saying that they had filled the position so I was kind of bummed about that. Monday afternoon Matt was driving me around places and I was just going in and dropping off my resume and we had gone to about five places when I got a call from one of the places I was interested in asking me to come in and interview! I was so excited!

It is a place called The Pointe. It is an assisted living and Alzheimer's Care place. It isn't really the most glamorous job by any means, but I think it would be good experience for me considering my field of study. The official job title is "Caregiver" so I would be doing all sorts of things to help out the residents. It could be stuff like picking up their room, doing their laundry or visiting with them. It could also be assisting them while they shower, or cleaning and changing them. The pay is average, but the hours are really good AND they offer full benefits!

I went in yesterday and met with someone and she said that she really like me and she thought that I would be a good fit, but NOW I have to meet with the director and she wasn't in at the time. SO I am going in today at 3:00 to meet with her. I am pretty nervous about it!

So... I don't OFFICIALLY have the job, but it looks promising. I have to keep reminding myself that I DON'T have the job yet so I can't feel TOO sure about it or I am going to be all the more disappointed if I don't get it.

Please be praying about it that things work out! :)
