employed

I got a job at the...
Can you guess?
(ask these guys for a hint)
 


The YMCA!


I will be working part time in their child watch area.  Basically being a kiddo all day, doing crafts, sports, games, blocks... you name it.  I am really excited to have a job working in an upright environment!

This was my first experience with a group interview where there were twelve applicants and two interviewers.  Here is how it went down.... First, they had us sit in two rows facing each other.  The interviewers would throw out a question, and we would discuss the question with the person sitting across from us.  Such as... "what is your most embarassing moment?" or "what is your dream vacation?".  After about 5 or 6 questions, we moved into a circle and each person was asked an individual question more directly related with working in child care.  That was basically it!  It was fun, but I was definitely nervous because I didn't know what to expect.

After the group interview Wednesday, I had a follow up interview Thursday.  During this interview, they asked me to come Friday to spend about an hour in the child watch center to see how I like it.  So, that was this morning, and at the end of the hour, I was offered the position! 

I am grateful for this blessing and most definitely recognize my Heavenly Father's hand in directing my life.  I am happy to be in a work environment where I can share my talents and be uplifted by sweet little spirits!!

  2. That sounds like such a fun job. We're getting a pass @ YMCA for Jaycee next year. The interviewing process sounds intimidating!
