King Of Anything

new-ER chapter...?

So, I got the call the other day to hear about the job....aaanddd........they already filled it. :/ yeah. with someone who already worked there. But, she said I interviewed really well, and that they would still like me to work there. So, I guess that makes me feel better. However, when I applied there, Tys and I talked and said if I got the job we'd stay here in Twin, and if I didn't, we'd consider moving to Idaho Falls. Which, with the way things are looking, I'm thinking that's what probably going to happen. His job at Costco is only seasonal, our lease is up in January, and my job doesn't seem to stable right now with the economy and real estate business. We have some connections up with with Tyson's family and old friends (he grew up there) and so hopefully we'll have "ins" at some jobs. I applied at Melalueca yesterday and have someone we know giving out resumes to people who work there. So, I guess we'll just see what this all turns into! It's kind of exciting. Starting somewhere completely knew. But scary, too. I'm sure it will just be another grand adventure!

New Chapter...?

Well, a possible new chapter in my life has recently come up this past week....! My boss, Nathan, approached me the other day and told me of a possible job opportunity at First Federal Bank. His brother in law, Mike, who is the Sr. VP there (who was also my bishop when I was in 15th ward) put my name in for it and talked to Nate about. It would be a position for a teller. Sooo...I applied for it this past Thursday. Mike's wife, Brenda, works out of our office and she has been keeping me posted. The two of them have been helping me out so much! So anyway, I got yesterday and went in for my interview this (blustery) afternoon. I hate interviews. Just as much as next guy, I assume; but still, they're so crappy. I felt all flustery and blushy and hot. I stumbled on a couple of questions, but overall I felt like I did a good job. I'm supposed to hear back at the beginning of next week. So, we'll see! This is the first time I haven't felt 100% confident about landing a job. Usually I kind of already know I have it or I feel great, but this is a larger company, with more applicants, and higher standards. I guess it just always continues to get harder though as you move in careers; it's normal. I really hope I get this job. It's a good company with a good reputation, good benefits/bonuses, and it's somewhere that I can stay for a while and move up in the company. Even though I'm anxious about getting this job, I know that if I'm supposed to get it I will. God will choose for me what will be best for us and it will work out. I'll keep you updated!!
