Some days drag on, right from the very moment your cats wake you up. Then there are those days that whip right past you, as though you put the viewer on fast forward and can't find the pause button.
It was a short few weeks ago that I had an interview for a full time position as a "Quality Administrator" (A.K.A. "Quality Technician"... or, "Quality Analyst"). I heard quickly after the interview (from the staffing agency who sought me out) that I had the job - "if I wanted it."
IF I WANTED IT!?!? IF??
Why wouldn't I want it?
Oh...well, they found me over-qualified and feared I had moved on in the time it took them to weed out, and slog through, the last of their interviewees. They presumed I would not (with my over-qualifications) want a position for the contractor rate they were offering. Why would I stoop to it?
I reasoned that the contracted amount would increase once I served my 90 days and was brought onboard as a true and permanent employee. I added that it was a full time position - far superior to the part time gig with the county - and that it exceeded my wildest dreams, following my terrible drought. It was a chance to practice my skills as a detail-minded team player - in an office, no less!
It was a full time job,
with a future,
that offered benefits and real money,
and a chance to do more than survive,
and would give my mother a break.
Thank you, YES, I would love to accept your job.
Thank you so much for this chance.
God is great.
It's taking longer than I thought to acclimate to the work/home thing after so long out of it. The job is also more physical than I would have thought, but that's a great thing. I enjoy the people, and I am learning a lot about the different processes and areas within the distribution center and it's small production area. There is much to learn, but I am up to the challenge!
More about it all another time, for now I simply wanted to update those who are keeping an eye on the employment status.
