Gonna Go For It!

Thanks for all the input regarding the new gig that was posted last week.

I've decided to go for it, the worse that could happen is that they say no.

I also forgot to share that my WLS counselor was promoted and his job is open, so I applied for that last week.  I can certainly offer the bariatric surgery clients a unique perspective on the process from start to finish.

Good luck to you.  I hope something positive comes out of this!

I didn't respond when you put it out there for discussion because life was sooo busy for me at the time, but I wanted to tell you this.  All through college my goal was to work at Child Protection.  I graduated and got a job that was leading me to my goal.  However, the grant money ran out on that job and I had to take another....one that was not really what I wanted to do.  Then 2 months into the job I get a call - child protection is hiring and they want me to interview.  What do I do?  I tell them no thanks I can't interview - I just took a new job.  The supervisor who called me was like - WHAT? this is what you have always wanted.  My response - I can't do that to these people who gave me a chance and hired me.  So then I get to thinking - these people found me when they were looking to hire - they will find someone else.  SO I call back child protection and apologize for being so foolish and agree to interview.  I did get the job and less than 3 months after starting a job, I had moved on.  The only regret I have about leaving that job was that in human service work you form connections with your clients and my clients at the short-stint was juvenile drug offenders.  I was just another person in their life who they were considering trusting that abandoned them.  No matter how much transition work you do with them before you leave - that is the category they put you in.  However, I had to do what was right for me or I would have ended up being ineffective for those children. 

Good Luck to you!!!  ~Clinell

Good for you!!   Maybe your next decision will be which of the two job offers do I accept?  Wouldn't that be nice?
