Following an unexpected phone call, a simple interview, two days of observation of about two hours each, couple phone calls, waiting, acceptance, more waiting, another phone call, a test, more waiting, lots of paper work, a drug test and a physical: I start training for a new job on Monday!
«Are all hiring processes so convoluted?»
Probably. I was blessed to easily get a good paying temp job right after my move. It didn't last as long as expected, but it was good enough. Soon after it ended I got a phone call for another exciting job. After months of sending in applications and resumés, to get such a quick and timely response was trilling.
«The time and place just needed to be right, I guess.»
Seems so. It's different work, challenging, but rewarding and with great growth potential. I'll be a team coach at a kind of boarding school for troubled kids. I'll be supervising and mentoring, as well as confronting and disciplining when needed. Along with many other things.
«Not easy work and lots to learn.»
And I hope to get learning quickly. I'll have somewhat flexible hours, which will allow me to figure out other things in my life and what paths I'll be taking in the near future. Really, I just can't wait to get to work and get more into the swing of things. Great things are in store.
