Hello All -
After months and months of looking and many ups and downs I FINALLY have landed a job, in my career field!
I was so about ready to settle for almost anything!
So, I will be the new Catering Representative for the University of Washington - in other words I will be one of two people running most of the higher level events all accross campus. I will also get to supervise student wait staff.
And it was an up and down day - the morning of the day I got this offer, I got turned down from another job I really wanted, then offered a job as an Admin assistant at a place I had temped previously - and although I liked these folks, it would have been a long, pricey commute for not enough money. But, better than nothing, and I was ready to give up. And then, I had only interviewed with the UW the day before, in a bad mood, not my best interview experience. :) Anyway, when I got the call from the one place, I decided to call the UW to see if I even had a chance at all....and they told me they were going to offer me the job! Yeah!
Unfortunately, ups and downs aren't completely over - being at a university there are buearucratic things to deal with - one of them is that I will only be on at 50% unitl February - which means money is still super super tight, and even once I am on it won't be a high paying job - but a fun one with good benefits.
So - It's good news, but I am still a bit nervous about the whole thing....
Anyway - thank all of you for your prayers and good thoughts and friendship.
Jessica
