Job Interview

I have a dead end job. I like where I work. It's close to home. I get three weeks vacation and 15 sick days per year. Three of those sick days I can use as personal days every year. We have all the holidays off including the day after Thanksgiving, and we get 2-3 floating holidays a year depending on what days Christmas and New Year's fall on. For example, this year Christmas is on a Tuesday so we only get to choose 2 floating holidays because we automatically get Christmas Eve as a floating holiday. Plus the salary is all right. It's probably average for this market. But the position is dead end. There is no where to go--no opportunity.

What I would really like to do is train to become a nutritionist and personal trainer. Then I would like to get my master's degree and become a registered dietician. It fascinates me that people can literally transform their lives and reduce many ailments through nutrition and exercise. I'm in the process of studying for the personal trainer's certification as we speak. It requires focus and discipline. Almost as much as the discipline and focus that is required on my finances so that I can release these constricting debt shackles.

What does all of this have to do with a job interview? Well, on Friday I had an interview at a major insurance company! If I am offered the job, it would be like getting a promotion--wrong--it would be a promotion. It sounds great, and I thougt the interview went well. I met with two people: the supervisor and another individual whose opinion the supervisor values. The supervisor said that I should hear back either way within the next week or two. She said if I'm the right candidate that I would have to interview with her boss. She said that she really liked my resume; it's what they are looking for. Best of all because it is a large corporation--there's opportunity there!
