I Got the Job!

15 years ago

I just got home and had to post! I got the full time position! I am so excited...I have 1 boss and 1 department! (Remember when I had 5 departments)

I start on October 6th and I will be giving my notice tomorrow at my part time job. Since I can' give a full 2 weeks notice like I wanted I am going to tell the pastor that I will work Saturdays for him until he can hire someone. I feel bad leaving him on short notice but full time jobs are so hard to find around here. I wasn't going to pass it up!

Thanks to everyone who wished me well and luck!

What wonderful news! I'm so very happy for you! Your 'small world' reminds me of this one ... when DH was interviewing for his first civilian job after retiring from the Army, (30 years ago) the potential boss asked about his service record. Turned out they had both served under the same Major at different points in their careers ... AND ... both had the same opinion of him! It wasn't a good one! LOL! Common bonds are wonderful introductory points when strangers meet. I'm glad you were able to find common bonds with the principal who interviewed & hired you. I just know you're going to do a terrific job, Jewels.

That's wonderful news, samkaren. I'm really happy for you!

You had interviewed for two fulltime positions, right? Is this the one you really really wanted?

Thanks.
Both jobs had their advantages. The other job paid a little more an hour and because it was located in a large city there were more opprotunities for my DH to find something.

The job I took is in a smaller city but I know DH will find something so we can carpool.

I really didn't have a #1 choice. I am just grateful to have a full time job.

TOld the pastor this morning and he was okay with me leaving. He was happy for me because he knows how hard it is to find work. He was also grateful that I will help until they hire someone.
