I'm a Parent Educator/Early Childhood Development Specialist for a very large social services type of organization. I'll be working with parents of children ages 0-3 with parenting skills, child development education, nutrition, and assisting them in accessing other needed social services. Kind of high stress, but I won't have to teach preschool at least. The pay isn't bad, full benefits, tuition reimbursement, and on and on....
The light at the end of my current tunnel anyway. I start October 4th!
:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:
Plus, my interview luck/ good Karma is unbroken. Every time I've ever gotten far enough to get an interview, I've been offered the job. There's a few other things I applied for, but I haven't heard from them yet, so it looks like this is it. I accepted anyway, so if anyone else wants me, they'd better hurry up.

Really, I'm so happy for you. We really have turned the corner. I hope you're not considering voting for Bush now because of this. ;)

What I'm doing relies of federal grant money. Do Republicans care about services for poor little kids? Not usually unless it's by Fundy volunteers instead of actual professionals. Gives me more motivation to get that sucker out!

15. WHOO HOOO!!!!!! A question... |
|
How did you tell them you had childcare to get in order? Or did you just say you couldn't start until X?
I'm so glad for you!

She asked me when I could start? I told her I'd need 2 weeks to get childcare in order. She said, "How about October 4th?" I said, "Perfect. Sounds great." Not so bad. Often if someone is coming from another job, they need 2-4 weeks to after giving notice anyway, so not a biggie for either end.

So many people here have been such amazing sources of support and friendship in one way or another. I wish everyone out there who is currently seeking that elusive thing at times, often referred to as a job, much luck and success in their quest.
Thanks guys! :yourock:

Glad to see that your fortunes are changing, although I'm not surprised, since you are quite determined and a real catch for any potential employer.
This portends very well for the future -- doors will open for you that you can only guess at now!
Congratulations!! :toast: :hug:
