Update on my job search

Tweet

A while ago (probably more than a week) I posted that I had placed an "Assistant for hire" add, and I told you that I received an e-mail from someone who was interested. It was the only inquiry that I took seriously. I received a number of other e-mails that appeared to be scams to me. The one that looked to be legitimate, was not. It was a guy claiming to own a auto repair shop, looking for an assistant or administrator. We exchanged a few e-mails and I started becoming suspicious by the second e-mail he sent. The final e-mail that he sent asked if I had "a picture". My reply was "Give me a freakin' break!" I havent' heard from him since. lol In the meantime I was apply to jobs adds, as well. I received a phone call last week, in response to one of my inquiries. I was asked to come in for an interview last Thursday. During the interview, he asked me to submit my references, I e-mailed them to him that day. I also called my references to make sure they were expecting the call. That day on of my references called me back to let me know that he had called. The next day, another one let me know he called as well. On Wednesday, he called me and offered me the job. I started Yesterday (Friday). So far, so good. It' completely different than the last job. Nothing to do with real estate. But, it's still something I can relate to and enjoy. I am the assistant to the Youth Activites Dept. Director. of a Temple. Since I've been extremely involved with my children and their activies since they were little, I can easily relate to coordinating events for children and teens.
