Turns out this blog is harder to keep up with than I thought! I've been working for almost three weeks now at the same place I worked in high school, and its a bittersweet reminder of what's next in life [working!]. I am very lucky to have a boss that is willing to let me move on to another job whenever the opportunity arises. I can tell its going to take awhile to sink in that I NEED to figure out my plan since school is not my cushion anymore. My biggest obstacle is money. That's what is standing between me and pursuing the next step in my dietetics career, the dietetic internship (DI). The second obstacle is deciding whether or not to get a Master's degree. I don't know how necessary it is right now.
Update on the hospital job search: I never called back the lady that I left a message for in the beginning of the summer. I was going to give her another call given the advice from friends and family, (and oddly enough, a customer my age that knows her since he works in the cafeteria at that hospital) but I applied to a cafeteria job online instead at a different location. I hope that that was the best move I could have made.
The day after I applied (yay), I got a phone call from the HR department. It think they liked me, but I was afraid that I was overqualified.... 6 years experience in food service, a bachelor's degree, and a safety and sanitation certification. Its a good feeling knowing I have some experience that can help me get a job. I just wish that experience could carry over more heavily into a more sound career. The HR lady basically screened me and made sure I was aware of all of the duties and scheduling responsibilities. Then I was told that she'd talk to the hiring manager, and then I'd her back from her if the hiring manager wants to interview me... and all that jazz. This is probably my least favorite part of job searching just because there is a lot of patience and I never know how long to wait before I should do anything. The HR lady commented also that if I don't hear from them over the phone, I should watch my email for updates. I'm not a fan of keeping up with e-mails while I'm transitioning from my college e-mail address, but if its what I have to do, I can do it.
I'll sign off this post with a MUST SEE clip of Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution Season 2, Episode 3 starting at 25:18 (25 minutes 18 seconds) What's in your icecream sundae? ... I'm going to do some investigating at my current job!
