It's time to throw my hat back into the job-hunting arena. Let me first get this out of the way. Searching for jobs has nothing to do with my current job. I love my job. I love the people I work with and the residents and their families that I serve. And I'm pretty confident in saying that they love me as well. So, I am not looking for a new job because of any kind of dissatisfaction with my current position.
I gave myself a year after finishing my master's degree to just relax. I very much enjoyed getting my degree and I really like being a student. But it was a lot of work and so I decided that I deserved some time to myself. Not that I have done anything extraordinary with that time, but it has been very nice. But now it is time to get back to it.
During the year, I did apply and interview for several jobs. The interviews went well but neither of them panned out. It was still very good experience for me. I am going to start looking for things in the gerontological world that sound interesting. Things that I may be good at. Even if I don't have the experience someone may want, I am hoping someone will see my passion and my drive and take a chance. That is all I can hope for.
First, I need to update my resume. That shouldn't take too long haha! Then, I need to start networking. Many things happen because of who you know. I will keep you updated on this progress because I am quite excited for the possibilities that are ahead. It will all be good experience nonetheless.
