Another Interview....

I have a second interview with the Rape Crisis Center. That is a good sign. I didn't feel very confident after the last interview. Also, I will hear back from the library tomorrow. I like both of these jobs. The library is very flexible and the Rape Crisis Center would give me tons of experience. We are very much ready for me to get a job. Eric starts working full time at Best Buy on Saturday, so that will help our situation. Just keep praying that I will remember that God as a will and a time. Both of which are perfect.

Job Update...

I still don't have a job, but I wanted to update everyone on how the interviews are going.

Interview 1: Exit Teen Center The interview stopped for me when she asked me "What would you do with a room full of 40 teenagers with nothing to do?" I had to bite my tongue to keep me from saying "quit my job." It was only a low paying seasonal job anyways. I never heard back from them.

Interview 2: TAMU Admissions I thought the one hour interview went well. Although, I could tell that they were looking for someone who was more "settled" than I was. I didn't hear back from them, so I called them and they said they found someone else and that I should have received a letter. I received it about 3 days after calling them (oopsy to whoever was supposed to send those!)

(I forget the order after this, but you get the drift...)

Interview 3: College of Agriculture Decent interview, but I could tell they were looking for someone older. She called and told me they found someone else.

Interview 4: Scott and White This was for a patient educator position, but S&W does not know the definition of "patient educator." They want a nurses aid. There was no education involved. Very disappointing. They called to say they found someone else, but will pass my resume on.

Interview 5: ??? I forgot what this company was called, but they advertised for an office assistant but really wanted a bookkeeper. Umm...not me. She never called back.

Interview 6: TAMU Library This interview went really well. It is not in my field, but I have always dreamed of being a librarian since I was a kid. They are very flexible, which would be great for grad school. And they actually pay you to go to three hours of class. AMAZING! I should hear back from them late next week. I am actually crossing my fingers on this one.

Interview 7: Scott and White (Again) They passed on my resume to pediatrics. Again...they don't know the definition of "patient educator." What they want is someone to poke babies with needles (immunizations). No education involved.

Interview 8: Brazos Valley Rape Crisis Center I have this interview tomorrow. It is for the position of education prevention coordinator. This sounds good, but as well found out, people have weird definitions. This position is part-time (30 hours a week), so that would be good for grad school. Plus...I would be making the world better. Pray for this one! To be continued...

Graduation

I am officially a graduate of Texas A&M University.

More Interviews...no Calls

I am going to my fourth interview. So far, two of the jobs were not for me and the other one seemed to be looking for someone a little older than me. I haven't got any calls yet, so who knows. The interview I have today is for a clerical job on campus. I still have an application out for a patient education job. This is the job that we are crossing our fingers for.

I am still trying to be patient for God's timing with a job. Sometime I am weak and start to get upset about not having a job yet. I have to keep reminding myself that God has something great planned that will come and the best time. It still is hard to be patient.

Painting is OVER

I am officially done painting. My grandfather decided that he did not want me to paint the ceilings in the rooms with paneling, so I won't. I think he is ready for me to stop messing up his house. All I have to do now is put everything back together. All the rooms have the furniture back in them (except my grandfather's bedroom, which I painted today), so all I have to do are the little things. Whew---that was a job. Pictures are soon to come. I was good at taking before and after pictures at first, but then I only took after pictures. I would always forget to take the before pictures.

Also, my interview went well today. It was for the department of Admissions. It seemed like reasonable work. There is a patient educator job open at Scott and White. That would be my dream job. I am hoping and praying that is the job that God wants me to have. Who knows. My will is not always Hiswill, but Hiswill and timing is always right!

Interviews!!!!

Today I painted my grandfather's bathroom. I thought it would be an easy job, but I was wrong. Thankfully, Eric came and helped me finish the project. I have 4 more rooms to go, and two of those rooms have panelings on the walls. I am almost done!

Which is a good thing because I actually got calls from two different people to schedule an interview. One interview is with the Exit Teen Center and the other is with Admissions at TAMU. Exit Teen Center is like a YMCA run by the city, I guess. I am interviewing for a program coordinator position. This one would be the best experience for what I want to do later in life. The other position is for clerical work with the office of Admissions. I would be the front line person for all the angry parents with rejected kids. Not much experience there, but better pay and benefits. I guess we will see how the interviews go. I am still applying for a few more graduate assistantships that pop up. I really want one of those, but God knows what is best. Keep praying!
