In the Nick of Time

I know better than to count my eggs as chickens, but…

I had applied to a marketing position with a local non-profit (which, amongst other things, does foster care) last week. I received an email requesting a phone interview, but within the email she implied that the position was part-time. Upon further clarification, it was confirmed that this position was in fact only part-time and I was forced to withdrawal my application (the ad specifically mentioned paid time off and 401K benefits, so this was a surprise to me that it wasn’t full-time).

Today, I received an email from the company stating that they had further discussed the position and have agreed to make it full-time. Would I be interested in a phone interview considering the change?

And did the angels sing GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST?! Did the heavens rejoice?!?! Were the skies opened and the sun….

well, okay, I simply replied with an “absolutely” and we’ll see where this goes (which potentially could be to a full-time position that I would thoroughly enjoy but only pay me half of my current salary) but nonetheless, this news came at exactly the time I needed to hear it most.

(forgive me if I make a run to the ladies’ room to do a little private happy dance.)

  1. Half the pay? Ouch. However, sometimes it’s worth it, if it makes you happy. I’m glad that you’re excited about this. I hope you get exactly what you want out of it.

  2. Ooooh, goodie! It is so nice to have just a little nibble, at the very least.It feels like we’ve both been looking for jobs FOREVER, hasn’t it?I think we’ll land new jobs at practically the same time.
