Financially, things have been rough around here. So I decided I'd just look for a part-time job to bring in some extra funds to help pay off some bills and fund C's activities. I came across a job posting for a nonpublic agency that provides services to children with autism. I actually have a friend who works there. That friend had said many things about that place and in my mind it was a family friendly dream job and if I ever heard they were hiring I'd try to apply. Well I saw the posting and decided I'd throw my hat into the mix.
I went on my first job interview yesterday in over 20 years. It went well and I have a very strong understanding of what they do at this agency. I also understand the importance of the services they provide. But... and it's a huge but... it's a full-time position. I was relieved to hear at the interview that they have a flexible schedule, but full-time. I think I have a decent shot at the position based on my knowledge base of what it's like to serve and be served as a special needs family. I feel so honored to have been picked to even interview for this position and if by chance the job were offered to me it would be an honor and a privilege to work for them. Literally this would be a dream job for me. But full-time... am I ready? Is my family ready? F is ready to kick me out the door and work with his nurse and his team and do his own thing, but C is not. How would I manage my busy house, C's activities, and a full-time job? I find I don't have the time to do all of things I'd like to do around my home already. It is highly likely that they will have a more qualified candidate for the admin position and if they did I completely understand... but if there's a chance oh my what an opportunity.
