New Job
The job search.... Back in September I was working as an office manager full time for Lunchboxers (a school lunch catering company) and they went out business so I lost my job. About 2 weeks and 10 interviews later I was offered a job at Summit Financial. My job there was to call people whose name's we received from the National Credit Bureau and offer them solutions to get out of debt. My first day of training was AWFUL! I was at the verge of tears... But, I went back and it got easier. I ended up really liking my job, and was actually better at it than I thought I would be. I had worked there for an entire week and they decided to downsize and let over half of their employees go. So again... the dreaded job search. It was really hard for me to find something that would work with my schedule at the gym. I couldn't get full time work because my classes at the gym start at 3 or 4p. I kept searching for part time work and had about 3 interviews a week for a good month or two but no job offers. In December I interviewed at an accounting firm in Provo and was super excited about it because it was great hours and in the field that I wanted to work in. I had two interviews and then I got a call telling me they had narrowed it down to 2 people and chose the other person... I was so bummed that I kind of gave up looking for a job. Well.. This week I received a call from the accounting firm wondering if I had found a job and if I would be interested in working for them still. Turns out the person they had hired was having major health issues and wasn't able to come in to work anymore. I know... sad for her, good for me. Kind of a weird situation. Anyway, they offered me the position yesterday and I had my first day of work today! I had a lot of fun. It is sort of a monotonous job... I am just helping to answer phone calls, prepare tax returns, and file during tax season, but I LOVE IT!
