Should have known better...

Well, it appears I should have stuck to my previous idea of not posting anything regarding the possibilities of a job or job interviews. It just gets everyone's hopes up for nothing.

I didn't get the job. I am not going to get the job. My interview lasted all of 10 minutes. People- who didn't bother to read my resume- thought I had a Master's degree in Social Work. I do not. Nothing on my resume even implies that I have a Master's Degree. But, one person who didn't read it told another person who didn't read it, and so on, and so on. And the woman in charge of interviewing me today? Well, it was painfully obvious that she did not read my resume when she mentioned my Master's Degree, and I corrected her. She immediately started reading it to see where things went wrong.

Funny thing is, though, my internship? I was working right along side Master's degree level candidates. Doing almost the exact same job that they were doing. They did intakes, I did intakes. All that this job is, when you get down to it, is using the skills it takes to do an intake. You assess a patient, and refer them for appropriate services in the community. Doesn't sound like it would take a Master's Degree does it? Amazingly enough, not even the huamn resources department thinks so... take a look at part of the job posting....

"Position is on-call, varied. Bachelors degree in Nursing or Social Work required. (MSN or MSW preferred) Bachelors degree in a related field may be considered."

That sure sounds like me, doesn't it? Bachelor's Degree in Social Work.

Anyways, that's all for now. Thanks to everyone who prayed for me, or sent sparkly good wishes my way, as the case may be. It is appreciated, even if it didn't work.

Love to all,

Sherry
