And so the job hunt goes

I've finally found a job... I think.

After a month of searching and applying and a little praying, my mother-in-law has hooked me up at Bank of America. The trouble is I'm going through a temp agency because the only opening right now is temporary. The agency has been doing a "background check" for two and one half weeks. Ugg.

The week after applying for this job, I saw an opening for a Communications Coordinator for the United Neighborhood Centers of NEPA. It looked pretty great because I think UNC is a great organization. Even though I have no grant writing experience I mailed in a cover letter, my resume and references on thick, off-white, very professional-looking paper. Yes... and the CL was pretty darn heart-wrenching. It mentioned that I have experienced poverty and that I would put my heart into grant writing. I got an interview!

The interview went pretty well... I was pretty excited because I found out that the job also requires brochure and newsletter writing

gotta go... I'll finish later
