I've been searching for a new job/career for 9 months now and have realized I'm getting no where. I was all gung ho at first and didn't think it would be that hard with the holidays approaching to find something. I was wrong. During the holidays all I was really finding was temporary jobs and that's not what I was looking for. After the holidays I was just too pregnant to care about getting a new job. During this time I've had exactly 3 call backs that have lead to exactly 2 interviews. One was at 32-ish weeks pregnant. I'll never know if that was the reason for not hiring me and that's okay. It turned out that if I had been hired Kolbie would have been born before I even finished my training there. The second interview was this week. It went well, until I realized that the job wouldn't be worth it. It pays $10.36/hr, guaranteed 40 hrs/week. Sounds good enough... but the shift is 2:15-11:15. Dean works 3rd shift and we have 2 babies. And it's not *really* a place I want to work that badly. So I'm declining anything further from them. It just won't work for us.
That lead us to where we are now. I am going back to school, hopefully this fall. I've decided on becoming a Surgical Tech and as long as I can find a pre-requisite class I need to take this summer, I will hopefully be able to start the program in August. I've got enough credits already to get an Associates in Applied Science as opposed to just a certificate which is pretty great. If I can get in this fall I'll hopefully be done next Spring already. I really hope it all works out. We can't really afford for me to have to wait until Fall 2011.
Wish me luck whatever happens!
