Interview at a rehab facility...

I am very excited to have an interview this Friday with a drug and alcohol treatment facility! It would be a part time job in addition to my other jobs. This is great! It would give me the opportunity to share some of my experience in recovery with those who are just starting to get clean and sober! I don’t know if I will get the job, but I am really stoked! Keep your fingers crossed for me!

***fingers are crossed*** I'm sure you're going to be a wonderful addition (I'm saying "going to be" as I'm confident that you will get the position =]). You certainly will bring a lot to that program.

Woo hooo!!!! Congrats and good luck!!!!

Fingers crossed, toes crossed, eyes crossed. Oh wait cant do that im getting dizzy.

Congrats Depressme! I'm behind ya all the way! You will be perfect for that postion.

Just be yourself at the interview and they are gonna love ya.

love ya,
chalmette

Sending lots of hire depressme vibes your way. congrats on getting the interview, I really hope it goes well and that you get the job. But would that mean giving up one of your other jobs so you could take this one - or are you just trying to work yourself to death?

That's awesome. I'm leaning towards something like that myself one day. I've always said, especially to my mother, when I mention working with substance abusers and juveniles that when your on the outside you have a completely different understanding when you go on the inside, meaning you'll understand them more then just some student fresh off the campus. You'll offer good things, you should be proud.

I meant to say Good Luck!....forgot

Major Congrats!! Rely on your HP and know that the right thing will occur no matter what. It's pretty cool knowing you can't mess stuff up ain't it?

Thanks all for the wonderful support--I can always count on you guys. I am a little nervous. Yes, I will be quiting one of my other jobs if I get this one....I set my limit at 3 jobs.

I have my fingers crossed... and my toes crossed... and I will be sending powerful good interview thoughts your way...


whooooooooooo Yea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, the drug and alcohol treatment facility I interviewed at is designed for the homeless. Clients must be inebriated to get admitted into the facility. The goal is to get the drunk homeless people off the streets and try to get them into longer term care. I can’t think of a population of people who are in more need of help. It would be a great opportunity to reach out to people and try to make a difference in their lives.

My interview went well—no great. The man interviewing me said he was going to send me for the second part of the interviewing process. A large part of the second interviewing process is an extensive background check. I think I am okay in that department. The background check will take 2-4 weeks. So, I will know in 2-4 weeks whether or not I get the job.

I am excited…excited for the opportunity to possibly do something that will help people. Serving society is an honor. Right now, I feel great. I haven’t even helped anybody yet, but I feel like I am already reaping the benefits. I spent about a ½ hour with some of the clients. Just being with them, interacting with them, makes me feel grateful to have all the gifts I have in my life. I have a warm house and a bed. They don’t have a house or bed…they just have the clothes they are wearing and maybe a few things in a bag. I am very fortunate to have all the “things” I have…I think about all the times I have sat in my nice warm house feeling suicidal and I realize that there are people who have it so much worse than I do…if they keep struggling to make it through another day, shouldn’t I keep fighting to make it? They are very courageous people, I have a lot to learn from them.

ImpressiveMe, sounds like a really wonderful day and interview. I hope you get the job.

Awesome!!!!!! Oh man I hope you get it. What an amazing opportunity. Social work takes a special kind of person, and I admire you for going after it!!!

Awesome. I really hope you get it. It is good to be reminded of how much we have to be thankful for isn't it.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you.
