Job Update!

So I have been in the process of looking for jobs after graduation, and I had my first interview last week. It went well, but it is just part 1 of a 5 part interview process. I go through part 2 this week, which involves visiting the sites and spending time shadowing other employees so that both they and I can get a feel for whether or not this job fits me.

PLEASE PRAY!!! I am VERY interested in this job. It involves working with inner-city kids (the site they're looking at for me is in Cabrini--well, what used to be Cabrini). It's pretty much exactly what I want to do. Pray that God makes it clear to both myself and the organization whether or not this job is right for me.

Also, I have to go downtown twice this week for part 2 of the interview process, and frankly, I have no time to do that. I am in the midst of finishing up a few classes and I have a number of papers and tests in the next few weeks. And, since it's an after-school program, I have to visit the site during the program one day--and I have all afternoon classes. So, unless I want to wait until after spring break (3 weeks from now), I have to miss a class or two in order to make this interview happen. And missing classes right now is rough since the classes that I'll have to miss are ending next week.

All that to say, the first interview went well and I'm really excited about this organization. However, fitting things in is stressing me out a little bit, so I'd greatly appreciate your prayers in that regard.

The organization I'm interviewing for is called By The Hand. Click this link to check it out.

Off to write another paper...
