 Work/Employment ...I just got the most awesome e-mail EVER... en>fr fr>en By DefyingGravity  Comments: 4839, member since Sun Jan 19, 2003On Wed Nov 30, 2011 12:51 AM
Checked my e-mail today and received a "cold call" from the Director of Nursing at a neighboring hospital. She wants to interview me for an open position she has as a project manager/analyst. The job isn't even posted on the company's website yet. One of her co-workers is in a class with me this term (just met her this quarter, we're friendly but not close or anything) and apparently recommended me based off of the commentary I add to the discussions in our class. The DoN checked me out on LinkedIn and liked what she saw. We're meeting on Monday.
It offers nearly 40 grand per year for only 12 hours per week. I'd still keep my current job but probably go down to 2/3 time.
WHAT THE HECK?! I must have done something right in another life. Yay good karma  11 Replies to ...I just got the most awesome e-mail EVER... |

Dang girl! That's some seriously good luck. Wish I could make $40k/year for 12 hours of work a week.  I hope it goes well and keep us posted. |

Oops! Forgot to update. I interviewed last week and it went amazingly well. We found out that we both a) Were born and raised in San Francisco b) Had family members who founded the local Irish cultural center c) Did Irish step dancing as kids d) Danced AT THE SAME SCHOOL, just 30 years apart.
Are you freakin' kidding me?! Talk about a small freakin' world!
I have my final interview in front of the entire board this coming Monday (ew, panel interview...). It's down to me and one other woman.
I didn't know thing's like this actually happened  |
