Betcha didn’t see that one coming! I accepted the job with the first interview of the day and then went to the other one as well, just to see if I would be able to fit both into my schedule. The second jobs hours didn’t mesh well with the first, so after I got home, I left a message that while the job seemed great, I wouln’t be able to do it on top of my other job as I’d end up working 7 days a week and I’d totally burn out.
They called me back this morning and asked if I would consider taking a casual position as they really wanted me even if I couldn’t do the hours they originally wanted. So I have two jobs now! Oh, and I had to call that third job this morning to let them know I wouldn’t be coming to work there after all. When it rains it pours, right? I am so happy to have these jobs, they are the ones I wanted most of all the ones I applied to.
So what are these jobs? The full-time one is working one-on-one with a cognitively challenged young man as a support person. Taking the bus with him to work, helping him at work and taking the bus home again. I met him and his parents at the second interview and the whole family seem wonderful. Really sweet people.
The casual position is also a support person for cognitively challenged individuals, this time in a group home setting.
They both sound really rewarding and I’m excited to get started. Thanks to all my twitter peeps who sent good luck wishes!
