    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

    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.

    Re: New job!

    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.
