| New, possibly temp-to-hire job! | |
| By: MarisaWood Date: July 12, 2019, 5:09 am | |
| --------------------------------------------------------- | |
| I started a new job yesterday! The official job title is | |
| "Raiser's Edge Admin," and it's an admin assistant role at a | |
| blood bank with some database admin responsibilities. I'll be | |
| adding and updating records in the database; running reports; | |
| and sending acknowledgment letters to donors. | |
| Best of all, the job pays well (more than my last year at Head | |
| Start, when I was an HR department head); has flexible hours; is | |
| less than a mile from home, so I can walk to work; and is a | |
| potential temp-to-hire job depending on how good my "fit" for it | |
| turns out to be! | |
| I just got the word about it earlier this week--and I cried | |
| tears of relief when I heard I'd gotten the job. Having this | |
| kind of income will change a lot of things for me pretty | |
| quickly; I'll be able to pay off some debt and visit my mom in | |
| Michigan a lot sooner than planned, and replace my old laptop | |
| with a newer and better one. (The old one died a little over a | |
| week ago, and I've been using an ancient Mac I got from a | |
| neighbor since then, until I can afford a replacement. Hence | |
| not being on as often as in the past.) | |

| Brilliant news, Waterlight! | |
| I hope it becomes permanent very soon... | |
| I remember getting a well-paid temp job and clearing | |
| insomnia-inducing debts within a couple of months, and then | |
| actually being able to afford a holiday; it's a nice feeling, | |
| isn't it. ;D | |

| just at the perfect time. Hopefully it will quickly become a | |
| permanent one for you. | |

| I accidentally did that. I worked as a temp, then a position | |
| opened up and the company I was working bought my contractt. I | |
| was there for 5 years until a job I was volunteering in decided | |
| to hire me . | |
| Good luck! | |

| I think we're off to a good start :) I just bought a new | |
| Chromebook with some of the proceeds from the new job, so I | |
| should be on more often. But that's not the latest update on | |
| the new job. | |
| Latest update: I just had my first performance evaluation on | |
| the new job--and got "Exceeds Expectations" in all categories!!! | |
| Additional comment after all those "Exceeds Expectations" | |
| checked boxes: "[Waterlight] is a delight to work with. She is | |
| focused, driven, and enthusiastic." | |

| Ooh, you 'go girl'! | |
| And please do come here more often!! I'm aware that I | |
| 'over-post', but I love this community, and want threads that | |
| move along [not die out after two die-hard posters have had | |
| their say ;)], so it's 'the more the merrier' as far as I'm | |
| concerned. | |
| Also: we love hearing happy endings! So, "over-achiever, please | |
| keep it up". ;D | |
