A day off? Is this possible? Is this real life? Am I dreaming? NOPE! I got a call as soon as I was out the door to my new rotation - the Brighton Health Center and High-Risk OB clinic - and it was to tell me that my preceptor had cancelled all of her appointments for the day. Unfortunately she had a family emergency and wasn't going to be able to make it.
So...a day off for me! I decided to initiate my job search, which presents more challenges than I thought. First of all it takes a while to apply to just one position, I'd say about an hour. And that's just for an "insert resume here" type application. All of the online applications (which is 99.9% of them) require me to register with the website, then I have to alter/upload my resume and cover letter, then answer a variety of questions. It's seriously like the interview is taking place in just submitting a resume.
So needless to say at about 7am I was applying for positions. I got a call from an unknown number around 10am. It was one of the places I applied to, wanting an interview!! Talk about quick turnaround. I'm really not into missing hours of the internship for an interview, so I was unsure of when I'd be able to go. Well...convenient that I had the day off!? So, I went TODAY! I drove about an hour there and an hour back for the interview. I think it went well, but my lack of experience is working against me. It's an employers market as far as hiring, so that stinks. But I think the interview went well and I won't hear back for a few weeks. I'll fill everyone in as to what the position was/for when I find out either way.
BUT! Regardless, I have a temporary summer position at Mott Children's Hospital! Management decided to take a handful of interns to help cover the dietitians who are going on maternity leave and vacation over the summer. So, I'll at least have a position until Labor Day.
But time to keep the productivity going and do some laundry! Happy job hunting, everyone.
45 days.
