Job Searching

I think I lied to myself. I made myself believe that job searching for Speech Therapy was gonna be a piece of cake. Turns out...not so much. I mean, it's just so difficult to know where to start! I've called a hospital system a couple of times, but they won't return my calls. I don't know if that means they're just bad about returning calls...or if they don't need any help. I just want to know one way or the other. After that...I don't know where else to look.

There is a bright side though. At my ASHA convention in NOLA back in November I met a company based near Greenville. They took my resume and seemed interested in me. The recruiter gave me her card and told me to e-mail her. Well, I lost the card. However, she kept my resume and ended up e-mailing ME a few weeks ago to see if I was still interested in the job. My Dad said that's a blessing since most company's just aren't seeking applicants right now. So, I decided to look into them. Turns out, they're based in a little town near Greenville, but they do a LOT. They're a Rehab facility that services outpatient pediatrics and geriatrics, works in the school system, as well as services the inpatient acute care in the local hospital! I mean, really?! That's A LOT! And a lot of those things are exactly what I was wanting to do. I'm not so thrilled with the whole school portion, but as a first job...there's a lot of potential there. It's got a lot of areas that would let me "get my feet wet" and see where I'm really best fit. I've got a "tentative" interview set up to visit the facility and such in March, so I'm moving ahead with my "big girl" things. This place almost seems too good to be true. I don't really feel like searching for other places to apply, but I also feel like I really should as well and not put all my eggs in one basket. Man, being a grown up is already hard stuff!!!

Decisions, decisions.......
