Amy Lands A Job!!
Amy interviewed with a temp agency last week to help with the job search opportunities. The interview went went, but it didn't sound like there would really be anything until after the first of the year. With the economy the way it is along with the end of the year around the corner, many companies froze the positions that were open. So, we basically figured we would have plenty of time to spend together as a family during the holidays without either one of us working.
So, the temp agency called yesterday about an opportunity and noted they were interviewing today and tomorrow. Amy made an appointment for an interview at 9 am this morning. Amy's interview started at 9 and at 9:03, she was told that she had the job and the manager wanted to take her around to meet a few people and was asked if she could start tomorrow. Amy was taken back a bit because it all happened so quickly and accepted the offer without talking to her family. She did say that she would start on Monday though because we needed to find daycare for Jacob...
Amy has accepted a job with a commercial construction company as their receptionist. She is definitely overqualified for the position and both the temp agency and the hiring manager both noted this. However, it should be relatively stress-free opportunity and given the times (looking for a job for over four months), it will definitely be something good for us both emotionally and economically. The hiring manager has also already told Amy that she plans to hire her direct as soon as the required time is over for the temp agency. We don't know how this will affect things, but we are assuming it will be for the better.
Amy, Jacob and I have an interview set up with a daycare facility for Jacob tomorrow. Since I had today and tomorrow off, it works out well. We are hoping to be able to find one or two more to check out, but with the snow supposedly on its way (schools being closed and the snow isn't to start for another few hours...) and lack of availability in the area (so, we have found out), we might get kinda stuck. The daycare we are checking out is sort of on the way to Amy's new job and is kinda on the way home for me, so if we like it, it might just be a slam dunk easy decision to make.
The transition from being a stay-at-home mom for almost a year and a half back into the work force is definitely going to be a challenge for both Amy and Jacob. There is definitely going to be a need for both to adjust. Fortunately, Amy will be working a few days before I need to head back to work and before the daycare will start. Jacob and I will definitely have to go and take Amy out for lunch at least one day to help the transition out.
CONGRATULATIONS AMY!!!
