Getting a Job With a Little Help

posted in blogging |

It is official. I attended my job orientation yesterday and I will begin a 7 week training program on Monday. Before I do though, I want to send out a big THANK YOU to the blogger who helped me find this job.

I was dropping Entrecards and, as I do everyday, I visited a particular blog that is, according to her tagline, “A blog for moms who want to work from home”. I visit this particular blog almost every day and have always read her posts with great interest. A week and a half ago, as I was visiting this blog, I read a post that felt as if it were aimed directly at me. The job opportunity was a part time position with a major corporation, know world wide, that would allow me to work day time hours from home and the company would provide all the training, paid. The job also happened to be located right here in the Dallas area.

After thinking it over for a couple of days, I submitted my application online and received an email the very next day asking me to come in for testing and an interview. On Monday of this week, exactly one week after first reading about the position, I was hired.

I am spending today and tomorrow getting my home office set up to meet the job requirements, but I wanted to make sure to take the time to send a big thank you to Lisa at Work at Home Mom Revolution for the wonderful job she does with her blog. Without realizing it, she is touching lives and helping people find ways to do what they enjoy and do it at home. So, Lisa, I thank you!

    Corrin – Well, if I can get all the technology set up correctly at home, it should work out nicely. On the other hand, I am quite technologically challenged!

    Laura – I was certainly surprised when I read about this job AND found out it was in my area. I figured I had to at least give it a try, these types of jobs don’t come around much!
