A Possible Move?
The school year will be over upon my completion of my last final...French! I will be leaving Virginia bright and early tomorrow morning to make the long treck back to Michigan. As I wrote in an earlier posting, the job at Pratt fell through this summer. Apparently Canada sucks, and because their dollar is useless they won't allow the Muskegon office to re-hire me. Just another reason to love Canada! Those crazy mother canuckers! (You would've had to of been on senior sneak to understand the mother canucker thing) As I now find myself unemployed, I have been searching for possible jobs. I stummbled accross a job posting for a management trainee position with Planet Aid. Planet Aid is a non-profit humanitarian organization. Now this is exactly what I have wanted to do, and hoped to find upon completing college. Now that I found this job I cannot help but think that maybe this is the direction God is taking me. Perhaps this is the reason things have gone the way they have this year? I decided to just submit my resume, and see what happens from there. The morning after I sent in my resume I received an email from a person in human resources at Planet Aid. They have expressed interest in me as a candidate for the position, and they actually wanted me to be there to interview yesterday. The location that would be hiring me is just south west of Boston. I quickly responded indicating that I was finishing up my semester at college, and an overnight trip to Boston couldn't happen. They showed understanding and agreed to set up a phone interview with me for Tuesday the 16th. If I get this job I will be moving out to Boston, for at least a year, where I will be undergoing management training within their organization. Upon completion of the training I will be sent to Africa for one month to learn the international side of the organization, and then I would be given a management position within their organization. Since this is exactly the job I have been looking for, I really can't pass this opportunity up. This will require me to not return to Virginia in the fall, but school is not out of the question. I could easily finish up my education through Liberty's distance learning program. This job is definitely an exciting prospect, and upon successfully making through the interviewing process...I might be moving out to the Boston area. That is what is happening in my life right now, and I am definitely excited to see things starting to move and change! I will keep you posted on what comes of all of this. See you all in Michigan!
