I'm still going back and forth in my mind about this whole issue.
Ok, for background, I've done Daycare for over 20 years, and right now I just have before/after school kids. For some reason, I'm not really interested right now in getting younger kids to fill in those hours in between. Not even sure why. What I really need to do is to get 1 or 2 more SA'ers, but advertising has not produced any calls.
I take my mom to an Alzheimer's/Dementia day program 3 days/week. (Kind of a respite place that does fun activities and occasional field trips.) The place that sponsors the program is an Alzheimer's nursing home. So one of the ladies that runs the day center told me that there was an opening for Activities Assistant in the nursing home, and she thinks I'd be really good at it (based on conversations we've had about her job and what they do at the day program).
So I applied. The interview was last Wednesday. I was scared ____-less LOL. I haven't had an interview since 1981 when I got the job I had before doing DC!! But they made it comfortable, and I did fine. I felt really good about it after leaving. They told me they'd make their decision by the following Tuesday, Oct 21st.
Well, they called today and offered ME the position!! I spent all weekend secretly hoping they wouldn't. Again, I don't really know why. Sounds like I need some in-depth psychological soul serching, huh? I kinda want out of DC, but I'm totally scared to DEATH to make the change. What is that all about?
Any words of advice, wisdom, encouragement, etc??
I could make this post even longer than it already is and go into my thought process over this, but I don't want to bore you. (Too late??? LOL)
