I have great news!!!!
About 3 weeks ago I applied for a job in Virginia. The position was full time and permanent..something my zookeeping career needed! So I applied and a week later called them up to make sure they got my application.
I left them a message that day, and a few hours later I got a call back from their curator. We set up a phone interview for the next day and it went wonderfully. So wonderfully that I got invited immediately to a personal interview at my earliest convienance.
So this week my parents (dad & step-mom) were already planning on coming to visit. We agreed to change our plans to a road-trip to Virginia for the interview (an 8 hour drive from where I live now). I had the interview on Tuesday afternoon...
and today they OFFERED ME THE JOB!!!!
Of course, I said yes.
The position is at a safari-themed drive thru park, much like the one I work at now. The pay is more (3 dollars more) per hour than I make now and the position requires a 2 year minimum commitment...EXACTLY what I need in my career. Not to mention the fact that I'll be living IN THE MOUNTAINS (it's gorgeous there) in a historic town that is only a few hours drive from other major attractions: four hours to the atlantic ocean, 3.5 to Washington D.C., 6.5 to New York, and within a few hours of other large cities. Plus..did I mention it's in the mountains? So there are tons of hiking trails, and it's surrounded by beautiful natural forest land and there's other tourist stuff as well....
I'm so excited!
