Job Opportunity

I will be a working mom. That's fine with me, though in a perfect world, I would want to be at home with the baby, at least for the first few years.

But, alas, I must make some money. With my current job, I am on contract. I was supposed to have lost my job back in April of '09. Someone has been watching over me, giving me several chances to stay. I think I've worn my welcome out though, because they have had me sign a contract, stating that I will be severed in August . . . just long enough to have the baby and recoup.

Since last April, I've been looking for a job. I've interviewed in 3 different states, and because of my varigated background, it's been quite a struggle to find a job that fits me.

Tomorrow, I go for a full interview (did a partial already) for a position with the same company I work for now, but a different facility. Driving time from home is the same, and I know several of the people that work there already . . . the kicker is that it's a night position. I would be managing 16-20 people on the production floor.

This would be a good move for me, mostly because it shows my flexibility and will expand my experience to include shop floor management. Plus, it would allow the baby to have limited time with a sitter, as I would be home during the day, and Clint at night. And I would only be working 3 nights a week.

The downside, of course, is that I would be working nights. Not too exciting. But, with a pay raise and less money being spent on a sitter, it's a win in my book.

As of now, I am the only internal candidate. 39 applicants have been rejected, 2 have been denied after interview, and 2 others are in the interview process. Because I am internal, I have a priority over the externals. But I am still nervous.

Wish me luck!
