Well, I have good news. On Friday, very late in the afternoon a company called and wants me to start on Tuesday morning. This is not the offer I wanted but I am taking it. It is on an as needed basis, doing what I have been doing; caregiving. They said they don't have a position open but need fill ins. So, I go sign paperwork on Tuesday.
In the meantime I am waiting on several other prospects:
1.)I interviewed last Monday at a law firm to do secretarial work. The Office Manager really liked me and wants to set me up for a 2nd interview with the actual attorneys. But first she has to interview everyone for the first round. I was #8 that she had talked to out of 22. But I was told I would definitly be called back. I liked this lady a whole lot and we seem to have a lot of things work wise in common that we got to talk about. The office is very small - 2 attorneys, herself, and maybe me.
2.)I interviewed on Thursday with a "caregiver" business kinda like where I was working but they pay the families to take care of the clients instead of just random people. They also do lots more but along those lines. I interviewed for a Service Coordinator position. This would be making sure that everyone on the client's team is on the same page (including any medical stuff, case managers, therapists, guardians, family representatives, employer, etc) and that the files reflect that. I really like this company and really want this position. The interview was 50 minutes long. They seem to like me pretty well and I have a good background minus some training. But they also had several people to interview besides myself.
3.)I interviewed with a walk in medical clinic on Monday. That interview seemed to go pretty well. They really a need someone who is bi-lingual but depending on who applied we will have to see. But they told me not to expect a call till about Wed or Thurs of this week.
4.) I received a call this afternoon from another "caregiver" agency that wants to interview me on Tuesday morning. I will be calling them in the morning first thing and seeing if we can set some other time - because I will be starting with the company that actually hired me.
So, I guess I will start tomorrow and then see where these other things lead to. Please keep me in your thoughts as I hope to have some tough decisions to make pretty soon.
I am so glad you found something...even if it not exactly what you want right now. The other opportunities sound great. I will be praying that one of them pans out for you. Keep me updated.
