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

thank you! no such thing as too late! all good wishes are deeply appreciated!
 
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! :worship::banana: 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!:goodvibes

:yay:, Sending up prayers that you get what is for you!:flower3:
 
thank you! i'm praying this is it! countdown to 9:45am begins!
 

I'm a little late getting here too, but I still wish you well! Can't wait to hear how it went!
 
passed my typing test! 77 wpm, 0 errors! now, on to the interviews! YAY ME! :banana: thanks, everyone!
 
thank you! got to chat with a long-time friend while i was there-it's been a great day!
 
thanks! i was so proud of myself for not freezing up and doing so well!
 
Good luck with the rest of the process! It's hard, I know from experience. Just be yourself on the interview!!
 
Good for you! I was a SAHM for 9 years (with some working experience here and there) and I found a part-time job at a college I love. I wish you the best!
 
thanks! it's hard getting back into the working world after being out of it for so long, but even if it doesn't work out, at least i made it this far! there's a job fair in my city next thursday, so i'll still be attending that too, just in case!
 
Good luck!! It's a bit of an adustment after being at SAHM, but I found partime a great way to start back and still be there for my kids before and after school. It's nice to be out in the grown up world for a few hours a day!
