Career Searching

I realized the job that I had at the Fort as cook helper was not for me. Not to discriminate others but I wasn't happy as I expected to. Probably because I am more into challenges where I can improve myself professionally as a teacher, wherein I can work wherever there are children. So after I submitted my resignation, I applied to work in the School-Age Services at the Fort, where they have preschools and kindergarten. With no expectations for the job, I decided to substitute since I am qualified. Although it was a part time job, it was indeed very rewarding. I worked with High School, Middle School and Elementary. But since school is over, it means no job now except maybe on summer classes. But if there's opportunity, it wouldn't be that much.

This week I got a call for an interview at the School-Age Services. I don't know what to expect and I wasn't expecting at all. Their main priority is if you are a military wife. Unfortunately, I am not. I was 30 minutes early on my interview. But the director decided to start early anyway. As usual you know how it feels being interviewed. It's nerve-wrecking but I tried to maintain my confidence. She asked me series of questions practically about the nature of the job I applied for. After the interview, she told me she will select the people whom she will be interviewing for the job. She gave me information about the services, the basic pay and so forth. I left the building with no expectations in getting the job. But I wish I got the chance to know how I did on the interview.

After two days, I got a call from a lady with different accent telling to come to the office (NAF) since I got the job. I forgot to ask her which building so I went to the building where I had the interview. But it was actually on a different building (470). When I got there, she showed me all the paper works I need to fill. She sent me more papers to work with and bring it back on my next appointment on Tuesday.

I heard the job has benefits since parents pay for the services. (NAF- Non-Appropriated Fund). They constantly have training for all the teachers, which the lady told me I can use whenever I'll go. That would really be great! In the school, They offered so many activities for the children (3-4). Although the outside part of the building was not that attractive, you will be amazed to see inside it. It has so many sections where the kids can move on one to the another to have fun. The place is well kept too. Wow, I would just love working in this place.

My biggest prayer is may God bless me in everything I do. Even this job. I pray that I can get along well with the people I am working with and be able to build rapport on them. I would do my job as a teacher and abide on the rules. I would be the figure the kids can trust and respect. I would be an educator to them who will teach them the basic skills they will be needing everyday. I pray most of all that I would be a blessing in my work place, that they will see I have God's favor in my life. May this job would just be the start of my career...
