Good News! Please Pray For Me! Update 11/8/10!

[momof1princess]

After being a SAHM for 11 years, I started actively looking for a job about 4 months ago, with absolutely NO success. I couldn't even get a response to any of the job applications or resumes I sent. Then, a couple of nights ago, I got fed up with my crappy, penny-paying, online "job", and posted on my FB status that if anyone needed an excellent secretary or assistant, I was available. Well, one of my former HS classmates is a supervisor at our local JobCorps, and, as it turns out, they're looking for a part-time medical secretary, and she took my resume for it yesterday and I take the typing test tomorrow morning! if anyone has a moment to say a quick prayer that I do well tomorrow (got to make at least 55wpm), I'd really appreciate it. I can type 89 wpm with no errors, but I've never had to take a typing test for a job before and I'm SO nervous! This job would be the answer to months of tearful prayers. Thanks!

Just tell yourself it's just typing, it's just typing....forget about the test part. I wonder why a typing test -won't you be using a computer? I guess they just want to be sure you can type something, huh?
Good luck and let us know how you make out.

Done! Congrats, good luck & keep us posted!!! Usually a typing test is just copying a document in a length of time. With your speed, should be no problem, even with nerves. Be confident & smile.
