Landed my first big girl job

Well today was the big day. I got a phone call from Springfield Public Schools offering me the Speech-Language Pathologist position that I had interviewed for this past Thursday. I only had to wait a few days to hear the good news, what a blessing!

I don't know the specifics as to what schools I will be in, but I do know that I will more than likely be in a couple elementary schools. This is the age I really want to work with so I couldn't be more excited. Right now, I am just so happy to have found my dream job working with children in the school system that I went through as a child.

I am excited knowing that I will get to stay in Springfield where my family all is located. I want to thank all of my family and friends who have been praying for me the past week during my two interviews. I truly am blessed for each and every one of you in my life.

So glad the job search is over!!!!

Interviews are so scary....

Well I have two interviews set up for this next week. On Tuesday, I will be interviewing for a Speech-Language Pathologist job for Willard School District and on Thursday, I will be interviewing with Springfield Schools. I am very nervous but also very excited to interview with both of these districts.

I have heard wonderful things about Willard Schools, and I know first hand that Springfield has great schools, because I grew up going to Springfield schools and am also currently doing my school externship in Springfield at Holland and Sequiota Elementary schools.

I am hoping and praying that I get offers from one or both of the schools. It will be nice to know that I have a job before I graduate in May and to not have to worry anymore about interviewing, resumes, cover letters, and transcripts.

I will keep you all updated after my interviews next week. If you could say a quick prayer for me on Tuesday and Thursday of next week I would greatly appreciate it. I have very high anxiety in these type of situations and am hoping that I can get some sleep the nights before my interviews. Thanks again in advance for the prayers!!!

My school externship has begun

I am now doing my school externship at Holland and Sequiota Elementaries here in Springfield. It has only been two days, but I love it and know that the schools are where I really want to be. I have a wonderful supervisor who I know I am going to become very close to over the next six weeks. She is caring, patient, and a wonderful SLP. I know I am going to learn alot from her in the upcoming weeks. The kids are just so cute, and each one has their own unique personality. After my school externship, I will begin my medical one at Springfield Rehab and Health in March.
