I GOT A JOB!!!
May. 31st, 2011 02:12 pmI've just been offered a job at a nursing home! After sending Idon'tevenwanttoknowhowmany resumes into apparent black holes and having exactly one truly tortuous and disastrous interview, one of my classmates suggested I check out the facility she'd recently been hired at, as she knew they were looking for a second-shift RN, and that's my preferred shift.
So, not expecting much, I sent off a resume and cover letter. They called the next morning, like before I'd have expected it to even reach them. Two days later, tour and interview. Two business days later, offer.
Everything just really clicked, and I'm Over. The. Moon!
It's a bit of a drive, but under an hour, so hardly the longest commute I've ever had. (That was high school. Two hours each way. Can we guess when all my homework got done? LOL)
Have written up my resignation letters. Feels a bit scary to be leaving one job I've been at for ten years and another I've been at for four and a half, but this was, after all, The Plan.
Working a single full-time job instead of cobbling together part-time stuff, what a concept. Though I'll still have my Reiki practice, and may stay on as a per diem for the mental health job, if for no other reason than I think I'll know what to do with every other weekend off.
Meep!
