The last month has been a bit of a blur but it has also been a wild ride. I quit my job, finally, as the last post stated and set out on an adventure full of joy and suspense. It was exciting and stressful to job hunt partly because the job market is highly competitive right now and partly because I wasn't really sure what I wanted to do next. I did a few interviews with a couple private healthcare clinics thinking I might fit in with them because of my background at Calgary Labs. I wanted to stay away from public healthcare as it has become increasingly unhealthy over the years and I don't want to be around when the sh*t hits the fan. I was discouraged by the lack of call backs but continued on searching during the day and rehearsing pretty much every night.
Finally my Dad stepped in and got me a meeting with a branch manager with Crawford Global Technical Services. He and a few of his coworkers kind of informally interviewed me and then offered me a job a few days later as a new claims person with the intention of training me to become a certified insurance adjuster. I'm not sure if this is going to be my forever job but I like the idea of being certitified in something. Especially something that makes a lot of money as this field certainly can. Money of course is not my objective in life but it will help me pay off debt and save for the future.
I also put in a free application during SAIT's open house for their Broadcast Journalism program as it is something I've been interested in for a long time. This program would start next Fall so it gives me some time to think about whether or not its a good option for me depending of course on whether or not I'm even selected for an interview (they get about 500 applications for about 20 seats per year). So that's my news on the job front. I'll have more info/news once the job literally starts (Oct 31st).
