New job!

Okay, I had an interview for a CNA position at a hospital ER for the over night 11:15-7:15 shift. I hadn't heard back all week so I called inquiring yesterday. The woman answered and was like "oh no one called you?" and my heart sank, totally thought they picked someone else. But to my surprise she responded with "oh yeah we're. Giving you the job" I about cried. I have need this for so long.

I'm not sure the logistics yet, but I'm suppose to get a call Monday or Tuesday to talk it over. If I like it I'll be starting October 8th!

So excited!

Just wanted to thank Mike and Danielle on here for helping me with my money issues and just talking. You guys are the best!

Just wanted to share.


Have a good day,
Kevin

:)

Awesome...congrats! :thumbup:

Congrats on the new job!

Thanks! I'm so glad that I got it because I'm seriously starting to go off the deep end at my current job.

Starting a new job is always a boost, I was in the same boat 3 months ago, started a new gig and I'm 100x more happy.

Congrats!

Thanks! They weren't even supposed to interview me for the position because it wasn't posted yet but they said they knew I was the one for the job from the second I walked in.

Congrats Kevin. I was in the same boat. I fantasized about punching my supervisor everyday. I finally, after submitting 40 applications, got an interview at a company. During my interview he told me they had one position available. This is a small company and there is only three employees.

Well my interview went good and I was pretty sure I got the job. After a couple of days I get a phone call from the shop manager stating they had hired a guy with 20 years experience. I was floored.

In the mean time my boss at my current position told me I had to work mandatory overtime on Friday. When I told him I would have to check with the babysitter to see if she could watch my 3 kids, he informed me that If I didn't come in I was going to be suspended.

I told this to my potential new boss as we had discussed this in the interview. I couldn't believe what I heard next. My potential new boss said "tell you what. Tell your boss to shove it where the sun doesn't shine, take you suspension and come work for me."

He said he liked me so much he convinced the owner to hire two people :)!

Now I am making $1.50 more an hour, plus I get commission, schedule is a M-F 8-5 gig instead of all over the place, and I start Monday. I already love this place.

Seems like people like to play pranks now haha. I was so hoping to get this job and I did so im happy.

Congrats again Kevin.

Cool congrats Kevin, glad to hear it!

Rat160- im jealous of you on multiple levels. Im turning green with envy haha

Thats awesome! And thanks to both you and mike!

Congrats on the new job! It's such a relief when you finally get something after looking for so long

I have been hoping all week to get a call because I don't think I could keep my mouth shut at where I work now if I had to continue. People are just to lazy and expect me to do their job too.

Good luck!

That is such a HUGE and awesome step for you, Kevin! I'm so happy to hear the job hunt went fantastically. With how you described your last job... Gosh, I can't imagine anyone with any self respect working there for very long. You are too good for that.

:banana: A nice fresh start, more security in your position and better people to work with (because I don't think you could experience worse than you had at your last job).... Sounds like you're heading in the right direction!

Should be so much easier to work with day to day stuff when you're not stressed out because of your job. So that's just great. Keep us posted on how it is when you start! I'm definitely curious.

Congrats! :D

Thanks so much Danielle! My girlfriend just got a job too, they called her today and told her they wanted her. It's at the same hospital, same hours as the one I got, but different wings of the hospital. So at least we can carpool the days we both work! She said they are starting her off at $12 and some change, she gets 13 pto days to start and a bunch of other perks, but I didn't get to hear them because my boss was mad that I was outside talking to her when she dropped my lunch off to me earlier.

I can't wait to say I'm putting in my 2 weeks notice. I haven't yet because I haven't got the call like my girlfriend got today, they told me I got it but I'm supposed to get a call to go over the logistics which is what I'm waiting for before I tell my supervisor.

It's going to feel soooooooooooo nice to shake this rat off my neck.

I'll also be doing my coworkers a favor and reporting my boss to the labor board....my farewell gift to him. ;)

All of that is fantastic news! You guys are going to end up doing just fine with everything falling into place like that. Might be hard for a bit, but by golly, that'll be SO much better than where you are now. Your boss sounds like a royal turd. I'm so happy you're going to report him. And with you quitting as a result of his behavior, you will definitely be a vital aspect to giving them feedback about the situation. If you felt it was imperitive for you to quit because you just couldn't handle it... That's a huge red flag. I hope that goes well! I honestly wouldn't tell your boss anything about where you are going. If he is a piece of work like I think he is, I wouldn't put it past him to make phonecalls and complaints about you to your new place. Honestly. I had a boss that did that after they found out where I started working after I quit with them. My current boss was amazing and knew that guy was just being ridiculous, but it's scary to think that some people take it so personally.

Definitely keep this going. Look how thinsg change in such a short amount of time. That's fantastic.
