New Job!!!

Yes it is true! I got a new job :) I'm happy that I have one. I now work for an in-home care company that sends CNA's out to patients homes to help care for them. I've had this job for about 3 weeks now and its been really interesting. I'm not allowed to work full time and that is why I'm not back at the hospital. This new job is kind of perfect for me right now and I believe that Heavenly Father wants me to have it. So I will tell ya how I got it.

My boss found my resume on careerbuilder.com and called me so I could go in to fill out an application. Well I needed to have a TB test done and take a First-Aide/ CPR class before I could even be qualified for the job. So I got the test done and took the classes and the following Monday I called him back and I was asked to go in for an interview. So it was set for that Friday at 11:30am. I got there 10 minutes early, you know I would rather be early than late! So I go in and introduce myself and the receptionist hands me a huge packet. My thoughts were"Holy crap! That's the application?" I handed the receptionist all the forms of I.D. that I had brought with me. She instructed me to go into the small room off to the side of her desk and to fill out all the papers, so I did. I get in there and the first few pages seem like a normal application, then after like the 7th page I started to recognize some of the papers. They were new-hire papers. I at first thought it was a mistake but continued to fill them all out. It took about an hour :( The receptionist came in, took the papers, and then told me to stand with my back to the wall. I asked why? She said..."For your employee I.D :)" Yeah I at that point couldn't stop smiling. I didn't even have an interview! So after my picture was taken she told me to wait a few for my boss to come in. He wanted to discuss some things with me. Well he gets in and starts talking about the pay and the types of clients I will have and time sheets. LOL! When he was done I smiled and said.." I honestly was only expecting an interview not to get hired :)" I'm a dork of course and I think he could see that. He then told me how the amount of experience that I had was more than enough and that I was clearly more than experienced in the health care business so they wanted to hire me. I was kind of shocked about the whole thing, but I prayed and fasted and had faith that Heavenly Father would help me in his own time :)

So that's that! Got a job and life seems to be going good :)
