|
I have been trying to find employment over the past 6 months to no avail...
I am a DAV and am enrolled in the Chapter 31 VocRehab program..
I start an internship on Monday at my local Va
it is for a possible 6 month stint with the potential to gain full time employement
If they like me and how I perform I could possibly be offered a full time gig before the six months
I am concidered a volunteer but I will get a monthly stypen for my services because of the program I am in..
My hours will be from 7:30 -3;30
So if I don't log on in the AM or don't post for a few days just know that I am trying to get my "poop in a group" and will probably be on in the afternoons
but BF also has a weird schedule that could become stranger so I have to adapt for that as well..
I am just so happy that I am going to have some purpose again in my life...
I have been sitting around 6 months too long....

Yea!!! And a big Congratulations on the new job.
I know you will be really tired for the first few days, that's when a nap every afternoon will be very beneficial.

I'm going to keep everything crossed that you get a full time job out of VocRehab programme. I just know you'll do it Bluewolf.

AAww shucks everyone..Thanks
I'm really excited..but a little nervous too..
I am venturing outside my element severely..
I have always done mostly warehouse management and pretty much worked by myself..
I am going to be serving in an administrative support assistant sort of capacatiy being a floater for the time being filling in for vacations/sick days
I guess they have a very high turnover in this area
i am good with paperwork (even tho I hate doing it)
Have good computer skills as well as people skills and reception type work So I will be learning a variety of different jobs/skills
The part that scares me is I will be having to work around a bunch of women and you all know how that can be...
I have already been warned that there are a few of them that won't be very nice to me because I will be learning how to do their jobs it won't be because I am cute and adorable as I am not but I am smart and learn really quick and they will think that I am training to take over their jobs
another thing that scares me is that I do NOT like gossip and don't participate intentionally but it never fails I end up in advertantly end up saying something that someone takes off and runs with I try not to talk to much to people but in this setting I am going to have to or else seem rude/snooty
so this is gonna be a challenge for sure because I don't know how to avoid it
But other than that I am looking forward to this challenge

That's wonderful! I am so happy for you...I knew it would only be a matter of time before you landed a job.

Best of luck to you Bluewolf. Do tell us about how it goes, won't you? I'd have loved to teach somebody my job so my clients wouldn't suffer if I became ill, but that's my view on the matter.

Bluewolf -- great news! Best of luck to you. I sure hope you love it and it's everything you hope for. Your posts here reveal an observant, friendly and good-natured individual. I predict you will quickly be well-regarded by all and just fine with the individuals you're worried about. It sounds exciting and interesting.

Thank you Daisy...
But in real life it is alot different than "cyberspace"
Here I can be me and if you don't like me then you just ignore me....
But being face to face with people is a different story
all three of my case workers (1 from VocRehab,1 from Employment Services and the last from Volunteeer Services) all know that I am pure of heart and have alot to contibute and that I don't play those stupid "BS" games but you know how women can be...
And I am not smart enough to play those games...
They just don't understand..I am here to help, not take anything away from anyone...
Men can be just as bad..but they are not "catty" like women are...
it scares the poop outa me...(to be honest)

Yes Droopy I will tell all the trials and tribulations that happen along the way...
you folks help me in so many ways..because I lack the "social skills" to assimilate properly back into the civilian sector (at least at the VA I will be cut some slack because of my background)
I just am so used to a "structured environment"
I don't know how to behave in chaos...
