I finally got an interview, which turned into three total interviews a few weeks ago for a retail electronics customer service position. I then got hired! The job was fine, first week was training, second week working the registers. But, the Tuesday of the first week I got a call asking me to come in for an interview some time that week! I had work from ten to five every day, so I had to make it a very early interview (the new place was two hours away) and be an hour or so late to work. I went in for the interview. So thankful for my wonderful, amazing, supportive boyfriend who willingly got up at 5:30 to accompany me on that drive.
The position I interviewed for was for an Environmental Health Specialist Trainee with a county on the coast. I have really no experience besides one class in environmental health, I did not expect the interview to go well nor to receive a call back. Afterwards, I didn't feel bad, but not great.
Anyway, I got it, moved out here and have been working for almost four months. YAY!!! A real job! Part-time, but there are some many other things to master... Like living with a closet bathroom, funky smell, and fruit flies that just won't leave. And living away from the boyfriend/partner/best-friend.
The job is really great. I inspect places for potential problems... Trying hard to think of it as an educational experience for me and for the pic (person in charge).
Joke: How many health inspectors does it take to screw in a light bulb? None, they have the pic do it... My mentor asked me the question and that's what I said... He thought it was pretty funny, I'm not so sure.
Going to try working on a manuscript for my thesis. I was supposed to get it out rather soon, but hey, a job, a move, and limited access to literary search engines, and we're months behind...
Overall, life's good...
