Real World Mom

Things on the job front seem to finally be going my way!

Right after I started the dreaded retail job, I was offered another one that I had interviewed for about a month prior.  It’s a temporary, part-time receptionist position at a nursing/rehabilitation home.  I accepted it, and planned to work both jobs, at least for the summer.

My orientation for both employers took place last week.  The retail gig continued to be seriously disorganized (it took several phone calls from me to them to find out when I was supposed to go in, and they still didn’t even have my employee number), while the receptionist role was looking better and better.

The nursing home that I am working for is part of a HUGE health care network, including hospitals, mental health facilities, etc.  Since I’m majoring in social work, I decided that I would be much better off focusing on the nursing home position than the retail job that I didn’t want anyway.

I’ve worked two days at the nursing home so far, and I really like it!  My supervisor and my co-workers are extremely nice people, and I feel at home already.

I’m hoping that it will become a permanent position (I was hired to cover for someone who is out on disability), but, even if this particular position doesn’t, it’s very possible I could get something else, either in that facility, or one of the many others.  Possibilities are a good thing!
