God has answered our prayers about me getting a job! Thank y'all for praying with us on this matter -- your thoughts and prayers are greatly appreciated! :o)
I saw an ad in the Classified section of our Daily Newspaper a couple of weeks ago, and submitted my resume via email. They contacted me within a week to set up the first interview (last Wednesday). I was really nervous! I haven't been to an interview in 7-8 years. :) Anyway, it went great and I told my hubby that I would really be disappointed if I didn't get the job because they seemed like great people to work with/for.
I went to the second interview last Friday, and found out that the job was mine, if I was still interested. Hello? Of course I'm interested! Hahahaha
I am now a Part-Time Medical Receptionist for a local podiatrist.
I started working this Monday, and so far, I'm really enjoying it. Right now, my schedule is all jumbled up since I'm currently "in training" -- when I start my 'regular' hours, they will be:
Mondays and Wednesdays - 8:30am - noon
Fridays - 1:00pm - 5:00pm (or whenever the last patient is done - today we left at 6:00pm)
The only down-side is that I will now have even LESS time to read/blog! :( I still haven't completely caught up with my review books (from the delay of my sister's wedding), but I'm working on 'em. I can't really complain though, since I've been trying to find a job for a couple of years now. It's a true blessing that God has seen fit to answer that particular prayer, and we are very thankful! I'll keep working on getting caught up -- that's the best I can do.
Thank you all again for your thoughts and prayers -- they mean SO much! {{hugs}}

That's just so great, Lori!! I've been praying for you guys and I know how wwhat it's like to be out of work for so long.
ReplyDeleteAnd a foot doc, hmmmm... you'd better invest in some real ergonomic footware. LOL;D
And a smart lady (hint,hint) once told me, "Don't worry about blogging, just post as much as you can, when you can" Hmmm... I wonder who that was? LOL jk
I hope you get to read and catch up on all those books this weekend, Lori!
Love Ya,
Ashley
Thank you SO much, Ashley!
ReplyDeleteI had pretty much accepted that I might not ever find a job doing something that I would like/wanted to do. But, God obviously had this one just waiting, to surprise me when I least expected it. ;)
Yeah, a foot doctor, and I'm in dire need of a pedicure! LOL Maybe he won't look too closely.
Hmmm...I wonder who gave you that sage advice? *tee hee* Let me tell you, it's easier said than done, that's for sure. I feel terrible that I'm not around nearly as much, and that I obviously can't read fast enough. I'm also thankful that I have friends who understand my situation, and still stand by me. Y'all are the best!
I'm afraid there won't be much reading this weekend -- it's Mother's Day -- that means we'll be visiting our mothers, grandmothers, step-mother, etc.
Love ya bunches!

Congratulations on getting the job! That's so great that you found a job that you will enjoy. :) I'm sure you will be able to touch a lot of people's lives by being a receptionist; I'm sure God can use you in a big way to bless others! I know we just "met," but from what I've seen, your sweet attitude will really be great for the job!
